GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Make your car, garage, office, or collector wall stand out with a Drexel Burnham Lambert Vanity License Plate. This bold corporate-history reference honors a firm whose name evokes New York finance, Philadelphia banking roots, and the high-stakes takeover and high-yield culture of the 1980s. It is a distinctive display piece for market-history collectors, investment banking alumni, and anyone who enjoys a conversation-starting piece of Wall Street nostalgia beyond the usual automotive décor.
Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc. was a New York-headquartered American multinational investment bank whose roots combined Burnham and Company, founded in New York City in 1935 by I. W. “Tubby” Burnham, with the historic Drexel lineage of Philadelphia. Francis Martin Drexel founded Drexel & Company in 1838; after later transitions, a new investment bank assumed the Drexel name in 1940. Drexel merged with Harriman, Ripley and Company in 1965, then took a 25 percent investment from Firestone Tire and Rubber Company in the mid-1970s. Burnham and Drexel Firestone merged in 1973 to form Drexel Burnham and Company. A 1976 merger with William D. Witter, the American arm of Groupe Bruxelles Lambert, created Drexel Burnham Lambert. The firm became a prominent 1980s Wall Street presence, known for high-yield securities, takeover financing and mergers and acquisitions. After criminal and SEC cases, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February 1990. Its parent-company successor emerged from bankruptcy in 1992 as New Street Capital, which merged with Green Capital in 1994.
