Okay, raise your hands if you remember some TV show called Skuzky and Huts? Oops, dang... I meant Starsky and Hutch.

Okay here is the trivia, and I have been trying to find it ever since somebody mentioned something about Knightrider and I was thinking about all the old "Car" shows. (Curse you whoever started that thread!! :P )

Oh! right, the question: Everybody remember that Gran Torino that was in that show and that eye catching white stripe on the side? Well guess what? There was a local (Starsky and Hutch had a setting in New York) car company kind of like Jim Foose, who would take out the regular parts and put in some H-O-T stuff. Okay, sometimes it was more like luke warm and sometimes it was just the snazzy paint job, but that's not the point.

Does anybody know what the name of that car modifying company was?

They were located, I "think" on Long Island, NY and they used to modify all sort of cars and put that stylized arrow on all of them (if I'm not mistaken).

Now here's the funny part, and I know you all have been not laughing at ANY of this stuff my sleep neglected mind is spewing out... I had a '73 RS Camaro that was also one of this companies products (actually I think it was just the rear bumper that was slapped on a regular RS Camaro - it had a bumper decal that I had researched a little bit at the time about) and I cant find anything about them on the net.

The winner of this trivia will receive (besides a golden attaboy!) the warm feeling for helping me get some restful sleep and not staying up many nights researching this fool thing.
