Pay tribute to a forgotten pioneer of California hot rod culture with our WILCAP Co. t-shirt, celebrating the innovative Los Angeles speed equipment manufacturer that helped shape early post-war racing. Founded in 1946 by engineering enthusiast Wilson Caputo, WILCAP Co. quickly gained recognition for their precision-machined adapters and performance parts that allowed racers to mix and match different automotive components.
The company made its mark by developing specialized transmission adapters that enabled hot rodders to mate high-performance engines with various transmissions - a revolutionary concept at the time. While WILCAP enjoyed success throughout the 1950s speed equipment boom, changing industry dynamics and increased competition from larger manufacturers led to its eventual transition away from performance parts in the late 1960s.
Our vintage-inspired design features a deliberately aged, distressed finish that captures the gritty spirit of early Southern California racing culture. Printed on a premium Gildan 5000 heavy cotton tee, this shirt combines historical significance with modern comfort in its 5.3 oz, 100% preshrunk cotton construction.
Features:
- Classic unisex fit
- Available in sizes S-5XL
- Multiple color options
- Direct-to-garment printing for vibrant, long-lasting results
- Tear-away label for maximum comfort
- Single-sided print (front only)
Perfect for hot rod enthusiasts, automotive history buffs, or anyone who appreciates the golden age of California car culture. Each shirt is custom printed using state-of-the-art DTG technology, ensuring crisp, detailed reproduction of this piece of racing history.
