I am Gordon Brimhall the Designer and Model Maker for Riggen from
1965 to 1972
Before I joined the company Riggen Mfg was only making and selling Tires and Wheels
I was now part of the Design Team and made all the Master Molds for producing
Vacuum Formed Bodies that went on our first RTR cars producted under the name JAD which was sold by Riggen MFG Co. My agreement with Riggen was after I produced the Production Molds I retained the Master Molds in my collection. I also sold my designs under my name
Brimhall Bodies.
Many of the Brimhall Body Designs were bought from me and
produced by Riggen MFG and sold on their RTR Cars
A few were only prototyped and never put into production and never
purchased from me. I still retain all the rights for all my designs.
Riggen may have sold the company but they didn't sell me.
I have never Authorized anybody to Copy my work
nor do I think it a good idea to make Cheap Re-Productions.
Below is my Business Card from the early days before Riggen moved to Gardena.
I had 1000 cards made back then and still have some left that I well sell to
Riggen Collectors Autographed by me for $5.00 for One.
A nice thing to add to your Riggen Collection.

I have wanted to put this web site up for a very long time to bring you
the real facts about Riggen Manufacturing Company
In the past few years I have seen so many people selling Fake Riggen Knock Off's
and passing them as the real thing.
Please be sure you are buying the real thing when you buy a Riggen Collector Item.
