Re: IML:club discounts idea?

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

I contacted all vendors listed on the OIC website,
which thanks to Chris Trettin, is a very complete
snapshot of Imperial oriented vendors located under
PARTS (SOURCES) on the website (you guys have been
there RIGHT?)

============
The results:
============
Leatherique already offers an OIC discount on their
fantastic leather conditioning products. 

Coker offers a significant discount on purchases 25
tires or more.  

Gary Goers didn't reply (many others didn't either).

That was about it.  Nobody else seemed interested in
club discounts.    

========

On the brighter side:  the local Kragen has told me
that the company has changed course and now stocks all
manner of older parts - where they were previously on
a no pre-'65 kick.  Apparently the fine folks at
Autozone (they seem to be expanding locally to me)
have turned up the heat, causing the change to be
competitive.
