“Hi Clive, It was your three 97s that powered my Merc to the 2011 James Dean Run to win Merc of the Year. Then it was the 97s again that powered the Merc to the 2012 James Dean Run to be the T-shirt Merc. So far, over 7000 miles with the tri-power 97s, no problem – runs super and looks better. Thank you again for helping us with the Tri-power setup in 2010 and for making us first for your linkage and fuel line – THE BEST! Maybe Baltimore in September? Rave On. Ron.”
Positive customer testimonials is something we get used to here at Stromberg. But there’s one in particular we’d like to share. It’s from Ron House, whose ’50 Merc Convertible 2011 Merc of the Year was featured on the banners and T-shirts at the 2012 James Dean Run, Playacres Park, Fairmount, Indiana, last September. We’ve featured Ron’s car on the Stromberg Bulletin before ( https://www.stromberg-bulletin.com/merc-of-the-year-2011-also-stromberg-equipped/ ), along with a load of great pics of the car. So this time, enjoy the awesome ‘Stromberg-equipped’ Merc T-shirt and listen to the sound of us patting each other on the back.
We reckon the world is ready for a new Stromberg T-shirt, and what better than this totally new Art Nouveau inspired Stromberg logo that harks back to the early days of auto racing? Designed by our buddy Alex Moldonado, the logo is big, bold and bright in red, yellow and white. Truth is, we haven’t added to our T-shirt range for a while so we thought an early flavoured design might extend our appeal and give the Clothing & Collectibles range a little boost. We ran the logo on our facebook page, and just about everyone who commented said something different. So we went ahead anyway – but thanks of course to those who joined the debate… With our core designs well established, we’d like to put out a few more short-run styles to keep the range fresh.
