The "Stick City" that I knew of was on Whittier Blvd...which was in Whittier. We used to cruise up Beach Blvd (Hwy 39)from Anaheim to go and check out what they had.

I don't know if they had a location in Glendale at some point?

Found on the HAMB... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/a.../t-101275.html

Also...Don Steves Chevrolet was real close to Stick City...if you went up Hwy 39 (Beach Blvd) and made a right onto Whittier Blvd...Don Steves was on the left.

If you made a left onto Whittier Blvd for Beach Blvd...Stick City was on the left. I believe that a "Select Vans" was also nearby?

BTW, Don Steves is still in business...and one of the members here had a car from there?

Saw the Beach Boys perform that song live here in Austin last week. They did all the great car songs.

I remember cruising down to Stick City and on the way home we'd stop by "Sticks Unlimited" on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. Anyone recall that one? There was a convertible Corvette funny cay body on the roof of the office and it said Gene Conway's Sticks unlimited! cool. Here's a link to Funny Cars from the past with the Sticks Unlimited Corvette among many famous race cars...

Don Steves name was on a few race cars in the old days if I remember correctly. Another HIPO dealer that doesn't get much recognition!

Don Steves Chevrolet sold TWO of the aluminum-front end '62 Impalas and at least one 1963 Z-11 Impala, which I believe was the Tom Sturm-driven car.
