Yes, I knew 'Candy Bar' Bob Hirsch. He was my aunt's brother. He got me the job there. He is deceased.
Ah yes, the 'Pit Stop' kept the service department very busy. I was a young gofer and service writer. Lots of BB sucked valves getting fixed and short blocks going in. Guys would slip a junk yard short block into a warranty engine job and take the new short block home. Nobody cared about numbers. The customer was glad he got a new motor after beating the sh!t out of his car. Detroit streets were teeming with muscle iron.
