Located on Tecumseh Rd. just east of Howard Ave. this massive plant is another part of Windsor’s long gone industrial might, replaced by the Medical Building, that runs from Hanna to Tecumseh Road.
A quick check on the Google, shows the company is still around today, in Benton Harbor, MI.
The ad above dates to the early 1960’s. Does anyone out there remember the company or have any relatives that worked there? Any idea when it left town?

Must have been a good jack to hang on for so long. I found one in my Dad's old stuff. It's pretty stiff but half of it still works!
I have an old Auto Specialties MFG. CO. floor jack and would love to know if parts are available.

I have a Auto Specialites MFG CO old car jack and I'm interested in finding out what it's worth. The only information on it is USA & Canada 8J (77?)
Can anyone help me?

I recently picked up an old car jack that has Auto Specialties Mfg Co NO 41 on one side and St. Joseph, Mich on the other. Have all parts are these worth anything?
I have an American Car jack no. 45 made/patented by Auto Specialities Mfg Co St Josephs Michigan in 1926. It has been in my family since the early 1930`s. I`m in Brisbane Australia and wondering if it is a collectors item. Terry

I have an AUSCO auto jack and am wondering if it has any antique value. it has Auto Specialities Mfg. Co, Patent Applied For, and St Joseph Mich on one side, and No. 27, Drednaut Twin Lift, SJ240 on the other side.
I recently bought a #21 Auto Specialties (Saint Joseph Michigan) jack at a garage sale. Paid a buck for it. Noticed one was sold on ebay for $19.00.
My father worked at autos for 30 yrs. His name was Fred Haywood. If anyone has any info on pension plan or if anyone is still drawing pension from auto specialities that was in St. Joseph Mi please give me a message on my web page.
