I loved Pep Boys and to a slightly lesser degree, Western Auto. In Easton, PA the Pep Boys store and Manny, Moe, and Jack were right next to the Studebaker dealership. If my Dad was going to go to Pep Boys I knew I could get him to go to the Studebaker store. They had the Avanti, but also several other hot cars for those days, anyway. No chance my father was gonna buy one of those, but it was fun looking at them. Pep boys sold “baby moon” hub caps back then. They were on my hit list.
Is Pep Boys totally out of business?
I thought there were still some stores remaining open. Anyone know?

As a kid in the 50s I loved going to Western Auto. There was always some gadget to supercharge my balloon tire Schwinn. The founder of Western Auto was George Pepperdine. He also founded Pepperdine University.


I used to go to both Western Auto and Pep Boys as young guy...back when you could actually fix your own car. And got my MBA from Pepperdine University!

For me, it is easy. I see that sign every day. It is now lit by LED's.


First set of tires I bought were fron W.A. That was 1968.
