EZ-C-Lite began in the early 1960s as an inspiration that was dreamed up by Mr. Corder's father at a party. A top sales agent for the major producer of tow trucks stated that a new law was to be enacted that required the tail lights of the tow truck to be seen behind the towed vehicle. Mr. Corder's father began to draw out the concepts for a "Light Bar." An attorney at the party said: "You need to patent that!" and he did.

Production of the "Light Bar" began and demands for the product went through the roof. The maker of the individual light components purchased the patent.

EZ-C-Lite, with all their contacts in the towing industry, began to customized tow trucks. This led them into automotive tool sales, and subsequently into automotive parts. The company EZ-Automotive was formed.

In the 70's EZ-Automotive grew to one of the largest Automotive Distribution Centers in Central Ohio with many service centers having their service parts on consignment. In 1989 the family business was sold.
