Thanks Rich. I'm still a bit fizzy though. I had a good buddy that lived in Stockport (off RT 9 just north of Hudson) and we hung around Hudson a lot (I grew up in Red Hook).
It's funny. Vic's is just at the edge of my memory but not entirely clear. Can you give me any better directions to bring it to the forefront?

Hello Rich, The shop was as you thought. It had work bays and a parts show room. What I remember most is the floors where great for creeper races until my dad had enough. I will be talking to him this week and I will let him know you where asking. Vic
