I had a conversation with Duffy last year about Flexo products and the 1600 specifically.  I mentioned the facility at the Flexo location didn’t look big enough to actually make karts there.  I asked Duffy if by chance all the Flexo 1600’s were in fact left over Go Kart stock and he replied in the affirmative.  I used to ride by 5180 Venice Blvd every day back in ’64 but never stopped in.  The place is still there and is just a small building.  Flexo was kind of a clearing house for excess kart parts after the big bust in karting in the early ‘60’s.
