The original owner of AC&R was Pete Weshler. His specialty was the design and manufacture of unique Model A tools. I used to see him at the big swap meets in California. He and his wife had a trailer with all their products. I think he continued to be a supplier of tools to the new owners as well as to some of the other suppliers. I don't know if he is still around. I heard somewhere that Bert's in Denver had hooked up with him.
