Description


Henry “Hank” Clay, started Spokane’s Thrifty Auto Supply in 1948. It was a typical small-town auto parts store that started dabbling in speed equipment in the mid-’50s, and by the early ’60s, that was their primary gig. They even built and campaigned their own dragster that which took everyone by surprise as it started making the scene and blowing the doors off of the competition. What made it such a crowd favorite as its short wheelbase measuring a mere 88″ compared to most dragsters packing 110″ to 115″ between the hubs. This short wheelbase made the car really squirrelly and wanting to lift the front wheels at the slightest touch, but short or not, this car was fast AF and broke numerous records during its active years.

Details


Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Sizing


Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
