Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale.
The super star of this company was Mr. K.Fujishiro `Fuji`. He was a hard working smart gent who always had his company`s best interest at heart. Parking in Japan is often times difficult so Fuji drove an old model car and when necessary he would double park and lift the hood as if the car had a mechanical problem (he never received a citation to my knowledge). IRC supplied WCC with American Flyer brand tires & tubes starting in the early 1960`s. They now produce high-end tires & tubes for road & mountain bikes. Additional pictures & text pending. See the picture gallery.
