A bud gave me a 1977 Gratiot Auto brochure, if anyone wants to see a particular item, leme now. I’ll see if it’s in the book.

When I use to go there in the 70’s I would dream of all the cool stuff I wanted to buy but couldn’t afford!
Bought my hush thrush there.

Classic Auto was in the store on Stephenson Hwy for years after Gratiot Auto closed, now its an Engineering firm. The Purpleish brick is still on the building. I remember going in there getting a cherry bomb muffler for my Impala winter beater. Lol.
I picked up a few Gratiot Auto bumper decals recently at a swap, if I could just find them.
Headers $59.95. Lmao.

A few of the beaters I've owned over the years have had those 'Pro Stock' valve covers installed. I always wondered where they came from.

I really hate to see those on cars at shows. Lol
