Motoring In Michigan By Andrea Brake on June 13, 2013 Last month I had the pleasure of visiting one of my customers, Motor State Distributing, in Watervliet, Michigan. I was generously given a tour of their 150,000-square-foot facility, and I must say it was quite impressive. Motor State Distributing warehouses products for approximately 600 companies, and has around 90,000 part numbers in stock.

Superior treatment allows retained customers to return year after year to purchase your products and services.

This year marks a major milestone for Edelbrock, as the iconic company celebrates its 75th anniversary with special events and promotions throughout 2013. Among them is a Mustang Giveaway, wherein one lucky winner will receive a 2013 edition of the pony car featuring Edelbrock and Ford Racing Performance upgrades. The prize package also includes a round trip for two, with VIP accommodations, to the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Once there, the beneficiaries will be treated like royalty as special guests of Vic Edelbrock, and take delivery of their new car. “Our first R&D test vehicle was a 1932 Ford Roadster, so it only makes sense that we give away a Ford to celebrate our 75th...
