Well, it seems only one person was interested in the last story.
And... is the story coming or do you save it for later?
Mark do you know who owns the rights to the con-ferr name?
I know Hickey is still registered and being used ... often wondered about the conferr
Hi. Pete condos was my grandpa. I Google him sometimes and come across these forums and they bring so much joy to my heart. I know this post is very old, but if you happen to see this, I would love to hear about my grandpa and his shop.Well, it seems only one person was interested in the last story.
To this day, I have a cartoon hanging up in my office that your grandmother gave me. My office is five blocks from the old Front Street location. I was just telling @kevos37 last week about when your grandfather sold the property to the city for the Metro Station.Hi. Pete condos was my grandpa.

My grandpa was the greatest man I knew. I didn’t have a relationship with my dad, and my grandpa raised me along with my grandma and my mom.
He was just grandpa to me. You all have such interesting stories. I grew up in their shop at 123 S. Front Street in Burbank, CA. I knew my grandpa was special and he’d always share stories about old celebrities, but he was my grandpa. He had long since given up actually racing when I was born in 1988. We watched Game Shows together and he taught me to make Greek food.
He died when I was 20 in 2009. I miss him so much everyday. My mom, his daughter, died last year. My grandma died in 2014. My uncle Terry A. Condos that someone mentioned earlier died in February of this year. They all played various roles at Con-fer. My grandma was the book keeper and ran payroll. She also proofed the catalogs since my grandpa’s strong suit was not spelling. Without her there would be no con ferr. Anyway, just missing them all and googling and came across this. Thanks to you and everyone who shares about my family’s business and about my grandpa.
I’ve got one I’ll send youI have owned more that one FJ40 that rolled through thet hallowed halls of Con-Ferr and I always liked their products. Some of these trucks were actually owned by Con-Ferr as indicated on the title. Scores of trucks I have purchased came with piles of literature, catalogs and Con-Ferr receipts over the years. I wish someone would remake that storage box that sat behind the front bumper!
