Did someone dis Blitz cans?

Thanks - - MOPAR is something I've asked mechanics about, but never had an answer till now. Good enough for me - - thanks, Junk.

Problem is that you have been asking youngsters. You needed to ask that question of a 93 year old man who was around when Walter was starting out ... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Junkman,
Here's what I found doing some research

 1929-Chrysler Motor Parts Corporation (later Mopar) formed.

I found this in an FAQ:

Mopar is slang for a Chrysler-produced car. Some extend it to AMCs
and to MMC products (e.g. Colt) sold by DC; and some restrict it to
high performance only. It is the name of Chrysler's parts division.
Mopar stands for MOtor PARts. MoPar is a registered trademark.

My Dad has been in Mopar/Dodge parts since 1967. He has numerous items, some old, some new, that show Mopar and DC. Motor Parts goes way back as one poster has mentioned.

And yes, the youngsters have a harder time getting parts than the older hands. My Dad has sooo many connections from over the years, plus old reference books; he finds all kinds of odd ball stuff in warehouses and dusty old nooks and shelves.
