THE CPP STORY
Who could've guessed what was going to become of a little
Southern California parts shop called Classic Performance
Products, Inc. back in December 1991. 20 years later, CPP has
become the industry's "go to" specialist in steering, brakes and
suspension products for classic cars and trucks.
With the support of his wife, Jill, Jim Ries opened for business
in December of 1991 and has not looked back since. Ries grew
up watching his dad, Jack "JR" Ries, run a successful classic truck
parts business in the '60s and '70s, but wasn't ready to open shop
until he had a few of his own real world experiences. When the
monster truck craze hit Southern California, Ries got in on the
action at the very beginning. Building and racing several of these
massive vehicles for Horse Power Promotions gave him valuable
knowledge on the inner workings of steering, brakes and suspension
truck parts.
Moving from monster trucks to classic trucks, Ries worked for
Seth Doulton at Golden State Pickup Parts for several years before
venturing out on his own. Not satisfied to just sell parts, Ries set
out to redefine the classic truck steering, brakes and suspension
industry with better quality and better cost products. Based on
the early success of the first manufacturered products, the engine
and transmission crossmembers, CPP went on to design Brake
Booster Kits, C10 Lowering Kits and Suspension Kits, "Bolt On"
Disc Brake Kits, and the list goes on.
In recent years, the development of CPP's Mini Sub-Frame
Suspension Kits, Totally Tubular Control Arms, 500 Series
Power Steering Boxes, Modular Spindles, SOS Brake Kits, and
the award-winning MCPV1 Master Cylinder has put Classic
Performance Products, Inc. on the map. Working with the industry's
top magazine editors at Super Chevy, Classic Trucks, Custom
Classic Trucks, Hot Rod, Street Rodder, Rod & Custom, Drive!,
and many more have provided us many opportunites to test our
newly developed parts on vehicles for our customers to read
about.
The early days were not glamorous for CPP. The Ries family was
growing, and space in their initial company headquarters (the
garage) was shrinking. Big decisions had to be made on the
future of Classic Performance. In September of 1993, the lease
was signed on a new storefront, complete with 300 sq. ft. showroom,
sales office and warehouse in Buena Park, California. A new
build department was added along with shipping and storage
shelves. Finding success with the classic truck industry, and more
room to grow, CPP expanded its product line to include classic
car market, once again providing the same top quality products.
CPP also added a full line of all the top brands in the industry:
Brembo, RideTech, Lokar, Ididit, Total Cost Involved, Heidt's,
Unisteer, Wilwood, Baer Brakes, and many more. CPP's engineers
work closely with these companies when developing new products,
having found that partnering together compliments each
other's parts and ultimately benefitting the end user.
In May of 2005, CPP once again moved buildings to Anaheim,
California. With an additional 10,000 sq. ft. added in 2008 and
2011, CPP was occupying over 40,000 sq. ft., including a beautiful
3,000 sq. ft. showroom, plus sales and business offices and shipping
and receiving departments. This also allowed us to expand
our manufacturing facilities including four milling centers and
three lathes centers, R&D department, and graphics and marketing
department. At the end of 2012, CPP once again grew,
purchasing our own 80,000 sq. ft. building in Placentia, California.
This enormous undertaking doubled our office, showroom, shipping
and manufacturing space. This has enabled us to house our
entire operation under one roof and more effectively and efficiently
get parts to our customers.
As we move forward into our 22nd year of business, we have not
forgotten where it all began....building quality parts at an affordable
price for our customers.
