Doug Martz / Camaro Parts Exchange

[William]

Just back from AZ to learn that long time bud/mentor/employer Doug Martz passed away Friday. He was in the car business his entire life; his family owned Tosa Chrysler-Plymouth and Martz Chevrolet in the Milwaukee area from the ‘50s to the ‘80s. Doug started Camaro Parts Exchange [later CPX] in 1977; we vended at many shows throughout the Midwest over the years. CPX ended up on 76th & Appleton in Milwaukee; many WI and IL car guys came through the doors in the 15 years we were there. Had fun and learned a lot with the `67 Z/28 and ZL1 projects. He retired to Nevada in 1997.

Doug was one of the funniest, most intelligent people I had the pleasure of knowing. And, very generous to my family over the years.

Godspeed Dougie. Thanks for the memories!
