Percy Matthews owned the Matthews Foundry in Fresno, CA. He bought a gas powered tether car in 1938. He quickly became disenchanted with its performance and started designing his own cars. He became good friends with Ray Snow and soon became the principal Foundry for Snows Hornet 60 spark ignition engine. Matthews died during WW 2 and after the war the Matthews Company built and marketed the fabled Matthews V Car. Some say V was for victory in the war.
