Got my new Mopar Classic catalog - kinda sad
So the other day I went to my PO Box and retrieved my mail and found the updates Classic Industries Catalog with a nice orange Duster on the cover. This am while drinking my coffee I opened it up all excited to see what new and special parts have entered the market place for restorations and …….
CRAP! NOTHING. The “New Product Showcase” was racing seats and rims. Stuff I’ve already seen elsewhere. I look forward to all the new stuff that becomes available during the new year and how many smaller companies are growing and adding parts available and this was a let down.
As a guy who has owned a welding business for now over 25 years- I realize that it takes a lot to bring a product to market- especially in THIS economy. But to see nothing- hurts my heart. The economy is getting the best of companies and the spirit that drives it.
I realize a lot of companies- mine included are just trying to survive…. Along with a lot of families sadly. I want to see this country flourishing and not slowing down. Car catalogs are like the Sears and Roebucks catalog was like when I was a kid at Christmas. Except now, I can actually buy what I see. Lol! For how much longer - I don’t know.
okay- off soap box
