Terrence Butler Obituary, Death – On August 1, Andy Brizio, the most significant figure in Northern California’s hot-rodding scene, passed dead suddenly. He had reached age 91. Andy’s passion for fast cars, as well as the support of his friends and family, helped him become well-known in the hot rod community. It was well known how devoted he was to all three. Andy participated in every aspect of the hot rod scene over his nine decades on this earth.

He began his career as a flag starter at the Half Moon Bay Drag Strip before moving on to become a hot rod builder, promoter, and T-shirt tycoon. Andy was the kind of person who always followed the adage “Ya gotta drive ’em.” He firmly disagreed with the idea of riding in a hot rod being pulled by a trailer. He routinely drove his collection of prewar roadsters around the nation.

After he and his friend Cub Barnett won the title of America’s Most Beautiful Roadster in 1970 with a ’23 Ford T roadster, they went to the first Street Rod Nationals in Peoria, Illinois. There, they competed against hot rodders from all across the country. He later started “Andy’s Instant T,” a company that is focused on T buckets. In the 1980s, he established Andy’s Tee Shirts, which he successfully ran until his retirement.
