This new licensing agreement is part of Cragar Industries' master plan to bring one of the most famous automotive aftermarket trademarks in history -- CRAGAR(R) -- forward, making available a new line of authentic, high-value, performance-based products for select, late model American-made cars, trucks, and SUVs.

In fact, our head engineer -- my father -- had CRAGAR(R) wheels on his dragsters in the '60s and '70s.
