Bell Auto Parts, established in 1923 by George Wight, is recognized as one of America's first speed shops, focusing on refurbishing and reselling early performance parts for automobiles. Over the years, under various leaderships, it evolved from a local auto-wrecking yard into a national catalog business, serving a burgeoning market of racers and automotive enthusiasts.

After being acquired by Roy Richter in 1945, Bell Auto Parts positioned itself strategically within the burgeoning racing community, becoming a key distributor for various speed parts and manufacturers. The company's notable innovations include the development of the iconic Bell racing helmet and Cragar wheels, solidifying its impact on the automotive aftermarket industry.
