THE CHRISMAN LEGACY
The Chrisman Story
This is the story of the Chrismans, an all-American family made up of honest, hard-working men and women who always made their own way, and never asked for a thing they hadn’t earned.
During the Great Depression, Evert “Pops” Chrisman closed his auto repair shop in Sulphur Springs, Arkansas and moved his family to Compton, California, where he could find work in the war effort and start a new life.
After World War II was over, Pops returned to his first love—being around cars—and opened an automotive repair shop in Compton, right at the very beginning of the Southern California “hot rod” movement. Soon he and his sons, Art and Lloyd, were deeply involved in building these exciting new vehicles, and their reputation for doing high quality work and being honest and fair spread quickly throughout the Golden State; a handshake from a Chrisman was considered better than any legal document.
No one in the Chrisman family realized it at the time, but they were starting to build a legacy that would last for decades to come, and be passed on to future generations. In addition to building amazing machines, they also raced them—and with tremendous success.
I believe you will find The Chrisman Legacy/Always Faster an informative, entertaining history of a hard-working, hot rod-loving family embodying every characteristic we Americans hold dear: tenacity, ingenuity, honesty, loyalty, independence, determination, and the will to succeed against long odds.
