bearings Thanks for help with a '48 - just not a Mopar!

[Bob Riding]

I just wanted to recognize our fellow Forum member, Go Fleiter, for the help he’s provided my friend and I in obtaining rare parts from Europe for his 1948 Peugeot woody wagon. It seems to be one of two left in the US, which makes the parts hunting quite fun!  Two in the Country: 1948 Peugeot Woodie Wagon
We needed to purchase three engine main bearings and as far as we could tell the only ones available anywhere were for sale from a French vendor who wouldn’t ship to the United States (or non-EU countries)
I reached out to Go. He received the parts from the French company, mailed them to my friend in California and then wouldn’t take any money for the postage suggesting  we donate the amount to a charity to help with the situation in Ukraine. Interesting note: the original box has a 1960 date- obviously NOS!

Thanks Go! This camaraderie and willingness to help is what makes our hobby so fulfilling.

unique old car matched by the unique character of Go Fleiter in his footwork and fronting the postage.  Big thanks for his help to others.  Be sure to follow up and make the donation to the Ukraine.  Pay if forward always works for the best.

Just endorsing Plymouthy's comments. Love the look of the car, especially the stylish front bumper! A good story in days that don't have many good stories circulating. Good on everyone involved.
