for providing the automotive aftermarket with the quality obsolete
engine parts that keep America’s classic cars alive and running.

Established in 1915, the small automotive engine shop began by replacing engine parts and when necessary making new ones. This was long before the automotive aftermarket industry came on the scene. By diversifying and expanding production capacity, Egge Machine Company’s commitment to produce quality replacement parts continues today to meet the challenge presented by automotives enthusiasts.

 


 


as the roadster that became the vehicle that epitomizes a hot rod.

The 1932 Ford Hot Rod with its V-8 engine and low price arrived at a time when the Wall Street stock market crash was still remembered and the nation was in the midst of the Depression.  Ford’s big gamble paid off as the ’32 roadster’s popularity made it the ultimate vehicle to modify into a hot rod. Thanks to the aftermarket replica parts, today there are more 1932 Ford Roadsters cruisin’ than were produced in the 30’s.

 for making a significant impact on the pop music culture in the
Inland Empire during the cruisin’ days.

From the late 1950’s through the mid 1970’s, KMEN 129 Radio and the station’s on-air personalities made a significant impact on the pop culture non-only in San Bernardino but the Inland Empire. Before auto tape players and CD changes, KMEN Radio was the audio connection to what was “Cool” and “Hip” in the world of pop and rock music, cars, and surfing. The audience cruisin’ down “E” Street in their hot rods and muscle cars were tuned into KMEN. Those cruisers were listening to the first hit records of groups such as Dick Dale, the Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Righteous Bros., Jan & Dean, Eric Burdon and the Animals to name just a few. To sum it up, the KMEN 129 rocked the Inland Empire.
