Later, Pargo had a disk brake style system with a thick metal rotor that the disk pads pressed against to create a stopping action.

Serial numbers are just about useless for determining what year model golf car, or carrier, you might have. For a while E-Z-GO continued to produce the line of carriers but eventually they redesigned the line to where today it is unrecognizable as a Pargo product. Later still the company was purchased by the E-Z-GO Golf Car Co., and was moved back to Augusta, GA. They continued to make personnel and burden carriers under the name Eagle but no golf cars. In 1975 the Pargo golf car line was discontinued and the company moved production to Dallas, TX. They have always been completely different companies. This company is not to be confused with the modern day Columbia ParCar company that is the offshoot of the Harley Davidson/AMF breakup in the early 1980’s. The company later moved to Charlotte, NC, but retained the Columbia Car Co. Located in Columbia County, near Augusta, Georgia, the company was named for the county in which the the car was made. Pargo was first manufactured around 1954 by the Columbia Car Co.
