Description: Fort Auto Parts is a well-known wrecking yard located at 152 Huachuca Boulevard in Huachuca City. The yard attracts visitors from around the world and has been profiled by publications such as “Hot Rod” magazine.

The business was purchased by Milo Parizek in 1958, and before that was operated by another owner. In its early years, the business did mechanical work on cars, as well as offering wrecker service and auto parts. Parizek had several yards around the city in addition to the one on Huachuca Boulevard.

A fire in May, 1980 destroyed the garage on the property, as well as other buildings and property. Since that time, the business has operated as a wrecking yard, and it is currently owned by Sue Parizek. There are hundreds of cars on the premises, including a 1923 Oldsmobile and a 1926 Dodge.
