Wow...a sad day indeed.

That really sucks.

Maybe the gov. will up the unemployment weekly rate. NY has almost the lowest at 405. Jersey is I think almost 600.

Sad news for a good long standing company. I am sure most of us have owned a cam from them at one time or another.

A few employees are saying this story is a bunch of BS.

Wow, it's really sad that all of these companies are just crumbling because people have to prioritize and for most aftermarket parts for their cars just isn't up there on the list right now.

This is when i support the gov helping out companies. 54 years is a long time. They could have put a stop to there mortgage or gave a break on property tax, or something to keep them from closing up. When the economy pics back up, the same people who let them go under are gonna be asking where all the shops and companies went.

"What we've got here is, a failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week. And that's the way he wants it, he gets. I don't like this anymore than you"
