My visit to French Lake Auto Parts
started with a delivery to
second generation owner
Skip Nolan which led to an
interview with Mr. Floyd Nolan
who started the business with
a dime in his pocket and a
business partner.
What began as a scrap metal
business in 1956 has turned
into a third generation family
business known worldwide as
being one of the finest vehicle
and part sources for collectors.

Patriarch Mr. Floyd passed away last year.
I was sad to hear about it, he lived a full life
and built a business that could
be passed along to his family.
