Can't forget that. I have a T shirt I bought at Hot August Nights in Reno in 1998 (year of the riots) with that on it and Ed signed it for me.

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.

Similar, but, not it.

Did Mr. Horsepower somehow become Thrush at some point? Logos are awful similar.

 From the first Fast & Furious movie. Clever move by the costume designer or set director, either one. After a lot of controversy a few years back, I don't know if the clothing line is still sold.

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.
