Since 1977

The setting: 1977. The space shuttle makes its maiden flight, Travolta sparks a disco inferno, Elvis leaves the building – and Wayne Walker is out in the garage bending-up fuel lines for his '61 Corvette. Friends, admiring Wayne's handiwork with a flaring tool, request lines of their own and virtually overnight Zip Products was in business. Swap meets were the primary vehicle for parts changing hands in those days, so the family wagon was soon on the road with Zip's inventory riding in back. Though no one realized it at the time, the Corvette aftermarket we know today was taking it's first timid steps, and boy did Baby grow big! Not surprisingly, Wayne's part-time "hobby" was quick to demand all-the-time attention. The wagon yielded to ever-larger parts haulers and more elaborate displays, culminating in a brick and mortar address with walk-in and mail order capabilities. Along the way, David Walker, Wayne's son who had literally grown up a part of Zip, gained the reins of ownership and set about building the company into one of the industry's leading purveyors of parts, performance and Corvette passion. Today, in-hand with the benefits inherent in having warehouse, showroom and admin space housed under one roof, Zip ships parts and accessories to Corvette enthusiasts the world over.
