Hello Everyone,
Just learned something new today and thought I would share it...
I want to rebuild the front end while the engine is out of the car.
Pulled out the OLD & PROBABLY ORIGINAL Front Shocks. Cleaned them up with a wire wheel. On the top half of the shock is the brand, patent number, & Part Numbers.     3159829
                             MAECO
I had never heard of MAECO Brand shocks before. Off I went to the internet and after a few searches; MAECO was the original name of: the MONROE Shock Absorber Company that we know today.
                         M             Monroe
                         A             Automotive
                         E             Equipment
                         C             COmpany
                          
Could be a Great Trivia Question for that one irritating, "know it all" guy we have met at Car Clubs & Car Shows.

Anyway, that is all.    Thanks, Ron

My 66 American had the MAECO shocks on it. I never knew the connection to Monroe. When I was reading through the rust on the shocks I kept wanting to read DELCO. Joe
