Kenneth Howard A.K.A. Von Dutch

Is it possible that your father had a Clay Smith cam in his car ? Clay had red hair and often chewed on a cigar, at least that was the story behind the logo for his cam company.   

I believe that is an early logo for Thrush mufflers.

My question to you , is what connection to model car kits is there ? I think his "Flying Eyeball" decal is in a few kits.

He was famous for his elaborate pinstriping, and a few kits have a decal sheet full of Von Dutch style pinstripes.   Monogram's Green Hornet springs to mind, as does the latest issue of Revell's '29 RPU.
