American Gasser Spinoff Positions Company as Premier Gasser Coupe Fabricator

“Heightened Popularity and Increase in Nostalgic Drag Racing Events Signals New Trend”

Cleveland, OH February 19, 2009: American Gasser, Inc. recently completed its spin-off from Active Power, Inc. This acquisition has American Gasser, Inc. under the guidance of a new owner and management team driving to become a full service period-correct reproduction Gasser Coupe fabrication shop. The primary platform, the 1940-1941 Willys Coupe, was exhibited throughout the 2008 show season under the American Gasser name and brought great excitement to many large events. Relationships with new suppliers, organizations, and custom builders were developed throughout 2008 and American Gasser has now become the preferred builder for the National Geezer Gasser organization.

American Gasser invites the public to learn more about the 1940/1941 Gasser Coupe body/chassis configurations which include the following:

Hand Fabricated Boxed Frames
Parallel Leaf Spring/Straight Axle Configuration
Rear Coil Over Shocks, Ladder Bars, and Panhard Bar
Ford 9 in. Rear End
Hand Laid 4-layer Fiberglass Body, Glass, and Hardware

American Gasser offers dealership opportunities and has had several fabrication shops purchase the body/chassis platform for current projects. To generate excitement at any 2009 show American Gasser recommends putting a gasser coupe on display booth.

Nostalgic Drag Racing has dramatically increased in popularity in recent years. This grass roots level of affordable fun has grown in scale every year with NHRA and the Goodguys Rod and Custom Shows, each hosting multiple nostalgic drag racing events. The NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series has been expanded to 7 points-based races in the west. In addition, NHRA has recently sanctioned the Muscle Car Reunion and Nostalgia drags in St. Louis, MO and Kansas City, MO, as well as the NHRA Nostalgiafest in Cordova, IL. The Goodguys Rod and Custom Show expanded in 2008 with nostalgic racing in Norwalk, OH and Bowling Green, KY and has added Chicago, IL to the 2009 schedule.

American Gasser is presently working on a 1933 Willys Coupe and has plans for a 1948 Anglia product this summer. American Gasser has teamed with ScottRods to deliver the 1951 Henry J Gasser. American Gasser strives to become the premier gasser coupe fabricator serving the street/strip desires of anyone who has ever dreamed of owning a gasser.
