Re: IML: 1964-1966 convertible parade bood covers

["john sadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I think someone reproduced some of the parade boots back in the 80's. I 
recall his name as Richard W. Heinrich. When the IOCI was in existence, he 
had a flyer that came with the newsletter occasionally. He had mostly 64-68 
stuff. He even sold 67-69 calipers that were resleaved in stainless.
