Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty

and well preserved body;

but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,

and loudly proclaiming, "Wow! What a Ride! ..Anon.

As the founders (with the late Stan Cowan) and editors of Arizona Racing History,

we are  constantly researching and updating the website to document, as accurately as possible,

over one hundred years of motorsports in the American West.  

We have been antiques and collectibles dealers since 1980. 

We buy and sell automobilia and toys, especially vintage racing memorabilia.

You have probably met us at automotive swap meets and antique toy shows in Arizona and California

or seen our ads in Toy Shop, Antique Toy World or The Antique Trader 

We have written three books and hundreds of articles, focusing on art, antiques and collectibles,

auto racing history and vintage automobiles. Our articles have appeared in  Mobilia magazine, 

 Equine Images, readthewest.com, Maine Antique Digest, eBay Magazine, Classic Toy Trains,

Toy Cars & Vehicles, Antique Trader Weekly, Antique Week, and Old Cars Weekly.
