 Carpenter, Custom Autosound celebrate 20 years of partnership
(8-19-2008) CHARLOTTE, NC – In 1987, Charles Carpenter was little more than the kid from east coast with the big ’55 Chevy. When he hit the west coast the following year with a radical all-new ’55, it sparked a nationwide phenomenon and people everywhere took notice.
One of those people was Carl Sprague, the owner and founder of a growing automotive audio business based in Fullerton, CA. Specializing in custom audio solutions designed to replace the factory systems in ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s cars while maintaining the stock appearance, Custom Autosound Mfg. was looking for a new outlet to market its line of products. What better way to do that than on the side of one of the most recognizable hot rods in the country?... [Read More]

(8-18-2008) READING, PA – Justin Humphreys just shook his head, trying to get the frustration of losing to his teammate and engine supplier Allen Johnson Sunday in the Pro Stock quarterfinals of the Toyo Tires Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway.
