Horton Hot Rod History #2
May 27, 2009 by WelderSeries
“Who the heck are the Hortons?” you might well ask? The Horton family has been in the street rodding hobby/industry for over 30 years, first with a company in Canada called Horton Street Rod Parts, which he started in 1978. Since Paul Horton sold the retail end of that business in 2005 (to his very first customer!), he has been working full time with his wife Dorothy and son DW at his new business, Welder Series Inc.

Captioned by Dorothy Horton:
All our honeymoon pictures are like this!
If there was only a quality street rod shop in Canada… shouldn’t have to grind these welds. (That’s Dorothy with the grinder)
Finally! Our track ’23 T built in Montreal – 1975
Driven to Louisville KY & many runs in S. Ontario from Montreal, 1975/76
Montreal to Louisville… camping, no top, Dorothy pregnant, Paul got pneumonia.

“Horton Hears a Who?” Love these old pics! I wish my dad had more of his hot rods in the early 70′s. Thanks for sharing. More more!
