After graduating from high school at the peak of the original muscle car era in 1969, our founder, Al Sedita, spent the next few years on the NHRA Pro Top Fuel and Pro Stock drag racing circuit. When he returned home to attend college, he started buying and selling Corvettes and Rolls-Royce motorcars. Very few of the Rolls-Royce’s had air conditioning, making them difficult to sell in Florida. He designed a high performance system that fit in the dash, providing a stock appearance. He did one, then another, then another and in 1977, after finishing college, the systems became so popular he stopped selling the cars and turned it into the business we now know as Classic Auto Air.
