Max Merritt Autos

[Dennis Gooch]

I am looking to buy parts from this website for my 1937 Graham Crusader Model 85..
the tail lights are the same as the Packard 120 Junior Sedan he has the parts i require ..
have been coresponding with him .. rather than send me pictures of the part i require he would rather i phone him from New Zealand and talk to him i find this odd and expensive ...Any one had dealings with him and can recommend... Kind regards Dennis

Max Merritt has been around a long time, they are well known in the hobby, you will not have any problems dealing with them. Call them as they ask, it will be worth your time. Ed

Thanks ED will do that . Sofia and I are going to do a tour of New Zealand in the Graham and just getting some parts to spruce her up while we can... not sure we will get spare part for Sofia and I though so had better do the tour now ... Kind regards Dennis

Ditto on Max Merritt, he will treat you well with either a large or small purchase.

Just to provide you with an option, however, you may also try "Jr. Packard Ron" Aquino who will likely have your part as well, perhaps for less. Ron helped me out a bit when I had a Packard 120, as did Merritt. I do not have his number handy, likely you do not have this but he advertises in the PAC bulletin, if interested I will check this thread tonight and post his number.

I feel a lot happier now that i asked the question and feel a bit embarrased for checking up on Max Merritt Auto's . Unfortunatley i have been caught before . AACA really works when you need advice and some reassurance on matters most important to us Vintage car owners ...
will look out for the alternative ...the price is not a worry ,i just like to know who I'm dealing with and I guess the same is for them and Max Merritt is obviously a top bloke ...... Kind regards Dennis

I now know they are top people to deal with thanks for that .... Kind regards Dennis

Dennis, Ron's phone number is 413-565-2286.

I would not be at all embarassed on checking up on a vendor - Merritt is indeed very good, but not every vendor is!!

Good luck on your project!

Thanks Steve , We can now make a decision... I have had my Graham since 1968 and now that Sofia and I have retired we are now going to do a tour of New Zealand in the Graham before you can't get parts for 2 of us oldies . Thanks to all the Guys that have replied on this thread you all have been very helpfull... Kind regards Dennis
