America’s First Driving Shoe

In its December 1965 issue, Car Craft magazine featured an extensive review of the ‘66 Pontiac GTO. But not just any GTO. This particular car was the GeeTO Tiger, a hot hard-top owned by Hurst Performance and used as a test mule for various engine, suspension and tire-and-wheel modifications. Adding to the GTO’s pedigree, it was tuned by Milt Schornack of Royal Pontiac, the Detroit-area dealer that had developed the famous “Royal Bobcat” tune-up packages for GTOs and other performance Pontiacs.

The article went into great detail about the modifications performed on the Tiger, from Air Lift bags in the suspension to Schornack’s careful cylinder-head work. The author, Roger Huntington, also advised Car Craft readers to not buy a GTO “without having a careful look at the list of options. The dealer might sell you one off his back lot for a little less money. But for maybe another $100 or so, you might be able to get a combination that would suit you a lot better.” A combination, in other words, ready to hit the dragstrip.

In 1966, the GTO’s order form included a 360hp V8 with Tri-Power induction, a close-ratio Muncie four-speed transmission and 4.33:1 rearend gears in a Saf-T-Track differential. With its Bobcat tune, the GeeTO Tiger ran consistent 13.04-sec. quarter-mile e.t.’s at more than 106 mph.

In the midst of all this race-ready tech advice, Huntington took time to mention that the new GTO was “the inspiration for a wild new line of shoes from Thom McAn.” Described by the shoemaker as “America’s first driving shoe,” the GTOs featured “such footwear greats as split grill, stacked headlights, fastback styling and an accelerator pedal heel for really ‘putting it to the wood.’ The real gas is a unique sole tread for better brake and clutch action, which means maximum traction for the street.”

The Thom McAns were not only featured prominently in Huntington’s text but also in the photo you see here, using one of the GTO’s M&H Super Stock rear tires mounted on a Hurst forged aluminum wheel as a backdrop.

Blatant plug? Obvious product placement? Of course. A lot of that went on back in the day, and it still does today (though it may be a bit more sophisticated in its approach). It doesn’t say so in the article, but we suspect the guiding hand of Jim Wangers behind the shoe deal. Wangers, a marketing genius, was always looking for new ways to promote his beloved GTO, and he did so through rock ‘n’ roll records, model contests, car giveaways and, apparently, clothing deals.

Owning Your Data Is Owning Your Future

British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee is credited with inventing the World Wide Web in 1989 when he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol client and a server via the Internet. He had this to say about data ownership: “Customers need to be given control of their own data—not being tied into a certain manufacturer so that when there are problems they are always obliged to go back to them.”

With that in mind, I selected the words in the title of this article very carefully. “Owning Your Data Is Owning Your Future.” Seems simple enough, and certainly makes sense. But think about the reciprocal meaning of that statement. If someone else owns your data, someone else owns your future. Yep, that’s a scary thought.

Now what I really want to talk about isn’t another lecture about data ownership, but rather how ownership of your data can define the future of your business. Ownership of the process. Ownership of the results. And the control that ownership of your data enables.

Let’s break it down.

In our industry, product data is essentially made up of two very broad segments: the foundational “industry standard” data that defines all the details, fitment, basic descriptions and more found in most data sets, and a second level I’ll call “enhanced” data. More specifically, we’re talking about content.

Managing the foundational data is a chore, albeit a necessary one. You just can’t power business systems, websites, warehouse operations and more without part numbers, DIMS, hazmat codes, order quantities, UPC codes and the like. If your parts are vehicle specific, you have to gather and maintain vehicle fitment information along with that.

This is all stuff that in one way or another you already know (or should know) about your parts. So doesn’t it seem a little ridiculous to expect someone else to “create” that data for you? Remember what I said about “someone else” at the start of this article. All of this represents the concrete foundation of your business and should be constructed with care, precision and dedication. Maintain it like you would your bank balance or your inventory. It’s that important!

Now imagine a scenario where you don’t provide quality product data to the marketplace but rather leave the resellers to their own devices to acquire product information. Information they will use to describe, market and promote your products. Information that is gathered, written and openly used without the benefit of having come from the manufacturer or originator of the product. Do you think Coca Cola or Tommy Hilfiger or Chevrolet would ever put their companies in that position? Of course not, and neither should you. Your brand is one of your most valuable assets, and you should guard its integrity with everything you have. Lose control of your marketing and you will lose control of your business.

So there you have it. One man’s opinion, based on a lot of experience, about the importance of data authorship and ownership. Anything less than keeping that control will cost you money and customers in the long run and might even wreck your chances at success. And just in case you are sitting there thinking, “We made it just fine this far,” my advice is to step up and join the 21st century. The volume of data flow today is exponentially greater than it was just a few years ago, and it’s a game changer. Own the process, own the data and own your future.
