Edelbrock’s 65th Anniversary Celebration Begins At 2002 SEMA Show LAS VEGAS, Nev. (Nov. 5, 2002) – As Edelbrock prepares for its 65th Anniversary in 2003, it is unveiling more than 300 new performance products this week at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The dynamic new products reinforce Edelbrock’s position as the undisputed leader of the automotive performance aftermarket industry. This year’s new offerings are the most served up at one time in Edelbrock’s history, and show the breadth of its current product categories, from manifolds to shocks to carburetors to sway bars to exhaust, and now, a new turbo. The company’s new product brochure, “65 Years of Red Hot Performance,” checks in at 12 pages, the largest Edelbrock has ever produced for SEMA. “We’re working hard to meet the needs of our customers, whether they own a Chevy, Ford, Mopar, import, street rod, muscle car, truck, SUV, motorcycle or boat” said Vic Edelbrock, President and CEO of Edelbrock Corporation. “Our customers want quality, precision and performance, and we’ve delivered for 2003.” Edelbrock’s range of products is unmatched, now featuring more than 6,500 items designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA using state-of-the-art technology, including CAD engineering and CNC machining equipment. 65 Years of Performance Leadership Founded in 1938 by Vic Edelbrock Sr., the Edelbrock Corporation began with the development of the “Slingshot” manifold. The company has been at the forefront of automotive performance ever since. Vic Edelbrock Jr. took over the company after his father’s death in 1962, and has helped turn Edelbrock into a $120 million corporation with customers worldwide. Under Vic Jr.’s leadership, the company’s product line has expanded to include everything from cylinder heads and exhaust systems, shock absorbers to fuel injection systems.
