BobT-47P15 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) I don't recall if I've posted this before or not, so.......... At a swap meet this summer I looked at some windshield wiper motors on a vendor's table, got to talking with him, found he was friendly and helpful. He gave me one of his cards.......for Antique Auto Supply, 1225 Colorado Ln, Arlington, TX 76015. Phone (817) 275-2381. Parts, cars and literature 1909--1972. I think he has several warehouses fulla stuff.....certainly worth a try if you need something. Link to a video about the place: Edited October 19, 2010 by BobT-47P15 Quote

hkestes41 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 Bob, I have done some business with Auntique Auto. Went to his place when I needed a solenoid for my OD. He pulled out two boxes full of solenoids and spent about 30-45 minutes with me going through each of them to make sure I was getting a part that worked with my OD. Solenoid was $75 and I was told that if I went home and installed it and there was a problem to bring it back and I would get a full refund or could go through the boxes to find another no questions asked. There were parts everywhere and while I was there his employees answered 4 or 5 phone calls and asked him if they had a particular part. His response would go something like this "yeah we have one of those it is in building 2 third row about half way down on the second shelf." Was unbelievable he is like a walking computer. I can't remember half the time where I put my keys let alone thousands of parts. Quote

There was an old guy like that when I was growing up, but it was tractors....had a building the size of half a football field. He knew what drawer, or shelf....it didn't matter, it was there. Those days are almost over. Thank goodness for computers! Quote
