Steve, (Clear from the start: These are "my personal" comments, "not the AACA's") To date, the AACA Forum will not be the venue for airing out complaints between Vendors & Customers. The reason is quite simple: Our club could stand to be included in any legal action instituted by one party, or, the other. Legal action could be with a "valued" club sponsor that provides financial backing to this forum, or, a "miriad of vendors...(Hershey alone has about 9-10,000 vendors)". Sitting here, I am thinking of a scenario: Suppose 500 people have a complaint about any one of 9-10,000 Hershey vendors. All of the complaints were aired-out on the AACA Forum. Law suits are filed. The way things are today, the AACA would be dragged into the proceedings as they provided the media for nasty posts. Again, the aforementioned is my "personal opinion". This AACA Forum is provided as a service to hobbyists, not a vehicle, or, media for complaints/compliments. My thoughts are that you could create a Website specifically dedicated to "Old Car Hobbyist" vendor satisfaction and rate them. At this point, I would give the AACA Management a chance to respond. Regards, PJH

You are quite welcome, RocketDude. Between the "AACA Library & Reasearch Center" and the "Search function on this AACA website" there is an enormous amount of information to assist. Hopefully, more folks will take advantage of these services to the hobbyist. Regards, PJH... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for posting, Steve. To those who watch the "Wheels on the Road" TV show on channel BCTV in the Reading, PA area, please, take note. Ralph is absolutely one great, down-to-earth "old car nut", of whom, never, never declined sharing his restoration knowledge with anyone that I know. He is deeply involved with the AACA Pottstown Region, the Boyertown Museum of Historical Vehicles, not to mention, a volunteer judge with the Concours 'd Elegance of the Eastern United States Burn Prevention Foundation. Many tout that we are a "family" when referring to the "old car hobby". Well, Ralph gave much to many. Now is the time to give back... My 2-cents... Peter J. Heizmann

Pat...Welcome to the AACA Forum. I would highly recommend the AACA Library & Research Center. The Library retains an enormous amount of original specs for the Plymouth.

Rick, Turbopackman specifically requested that his "account" be cancelled completely. This deletes any posts he made, or, replies made to his posts.

Hi, Rick. Turbopackman requested of me, and, in his terminology, that, his "account be cancelled", meaning, "Deleted (Banned) from the AACA Forum, to include "all posts". Turbopackman did not mention any specific reason, only, that this action be taken. FYI: When you notice "blanks" within the "Last Post column" and only a date, it will appear as soon as someone makes a post within any given thread. Peter J...

tigermoth... Please listen to what Ted Sweet mentioned: "Agreed Value". Some years ago, I read an article about a gent, of whom, had a "stable" of convertible cars that were totally destroyed in a fire. All vehicles retained "Stated Value". The gent received pennies on the dollar for vehicles that were in outstanding condition. The gent's message within the article was simple: "Agreed Value" to learn from his lesson. Peter J...
