Emblems
Caution: if/when you need 60 Imperial emblems for over the headlights
and the plastic disc for the flite sweep decklid, plan WELL AHEAD.
Recently inquired and tried to place and order for emblems for my 60 and for a
non-Imperial. First, could not order via the website. Second, phone call
resulted in a recorded message and phone tag. Read, not an easy
process. Then, found out orders require 50% deposit by check, no credit
cards. Here's the kicker, a NONE MONTH wait for the Imperial emblems and
for one of the non-Imp emblems. Fortunately they had two needed emblems
in stock.
The fellow was very pleasant. Told me to go ahead and make the order.
I did it by mail. He did not press me for the 50% payment though I plan
to follow up that my order has gone through w/o upfront money. I think
laying out $250 plus dollars nine months ahead is a bit much even with
interest rates at about zero these days. Couldn't budge him from the
nine months lead time.
I can only assume they are backed up with other orders, though this seems
unlikely to me thinking the economic downturn would slow down orders for
expensive repro emblems???
Sooooo-plan ahead. Henry Hopkins, 61/60/57
