Hi group,
I just got off the phone with Lowell Howe. I
called him regarding a driver's side headlight bezel for my '60 and a hood
ornament for my '62 yesterday. He called this morning and while out of
hood eagles, he did have some headlight bezels for the '60. He said
he'd send the one without pitting right off and asked for my address. We
then went on to chat about Patricia's search for the lift for her FS
deck. He sounded like we'd about reached the end of our conversation and I
paused then asked how much I owed him for the bezel. He kind of chuckled
and said he'd send an invoice along with the bezel explaining that if I didn't
like it I could send it back without the resulting paperwork of charges and
credits. He said "that was the way we do things around here" and that most
people were pretty good about it. After getting screwed over by "so called
friends" I was at almost a total loss for words that there was someone in the
parts game that still did business on the honor system. All I could do was
sort of stammer "Thank you" a couple of times.
I know Patricia said he was a very nice man but I
was dumbfounded and gratefull.
While I haven't seen the part or price, I can't help but
feel that the world is a little better place because of Lowell
Howe.
