Folks Of Interest Bud Ehlert??? anyone know anything about him

Does anyone have any information on Bud Elhart? All I know about the guy is that he made custom valve covers for Y-block in the mid to late 50's (56-57 I think)and they where advertised in Hot Rod Mag. Did he produce any other cool parts? and does anyone know who my have rights to his name/brand/logo? Or just any other info on this guy?

Pictured below is a set of his Y-block valve covers

 

Nope don't know a thing about him although the name sounds familiar ( I have met a bunch of people over the years) but I would loike to meet him. If he produced those he is a skilled man. Those are nice, a little out of the ordinary but nice.

 

It would also be real cool if anyone could find/post one of his old advertisements from Hot Rod mag

 

wow those covers sure are different, Id love a set myself.

 

Here's an ad. Order some before they sell out.

Put me on the list if you are going to start recreating them!

 

Those are different in a cool way. Nice...

 

dont seem to flow with the shape of the motor very well to me.

 

Does anyone have any info on the maker? Any info on Bud Elhart would be great.

 

Pretty sure the correct spelling is Bud Ehlert, and that I once owned them. I bought them in 2002 from Red's Headers in Fort Bragg, Calif. in 2002 for my 57 Ford. Never used them, sold them a few years ago to a collector in Florida. I believe that's his engine/car in the picture. Casting on inside of the valve covers read Bud Ehlert, Los Angeles.

 

Thanks for the infor
