Machinist_Bill Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I purchased several items for my 1926 Coupe and the quality is excellent. Don't forget the currency exchange rate so don't be shocked by their prices until you figure in the rate. I put another order in for the rubber step plate mats but they were sold out. Here is the response I received from Rosemary Smith today: Bill, We are going to produce one more lot of Dodge mats – these will be approx. 4-6 weeks before they are ready – will hold your order until then and send both parts at that stage. If you know any other Dodge owners who want them let them know this will be the last time we produce this mat. – Only doing a limited number. Enjoy your weekend. Rosemary Yours in Vintage Motoring Glenn and Rosemary Smith It will be a sad day when we lose another vendor...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minibago Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 This is a very sad situation, Glenn and Rosemary have dedicated many years to producing first class replacement castings, many unavailable anywhere else. The standard achieved takes time and skills rarely found, unfortunately the business found no buyers so is closing down. A huge thank you to both Glenn and Rosemary for all they have done for our benefit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattml430 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Very sad to see but we are all getting older and the younger generation has no interest in working hard for a decent dollar. It seems they want to work less for more dollars. So it’s very hard to pass on any old trade to younger people. Glenn and Rosemary are such lovely people to deal with. They sold me the dies and plans for the luggage rack for peanuts when you look at the quality of what Glenn had made. I have bought quite a few bit from them and everything is always perfectly reproduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Matt, that would be a good side hack for you. Maybe keep you from wasting time watching the neighbor's cows eat grass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hahahaha that would cut into my lawn mowing time Doug and nothing is allowed to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 That's easy. Move the fence over and let the cows mow your lawn. That way you get to shoot one for crop damage. You get to enjoy killing something and have some steaks to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Never bought anything from them, but seen them at AU swap meets. Started mid 1980's. So about 2023-1985=38 years. Web site https://vintageandclassicreproductions.com/ https://vintageandclassicreproductions.com/about-us/ Quote Vintage and Classic Reproductions started in the mid-1980s and has evolved into the business you see today, proudly Australian owned and operated. Vintage and Classic Reproductions has established itself as a market leader by providing quality reproduction parts, within Australia and worldwide. We produce parts for 60 different makes of cars, ranging from Auburn, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Holden, Hupmobile, Oakland, Oldsmobile, Packard, Pontiac, Reo, Marmon, Studebaker and Stutz to name a few. Our expert skills allow us to reproduce items that are not made elsewhere in the world, some of these are the U2 and UX2 Stromberg Updraft Carburettors, Stewart vacuum tank tops, Hood rests, Trunk hinges and latches, hubcaps to name a few. We also produce splined handles that suit Buick, Chrysler, Marmon, Nash, Oakland, LaSalle, Ruxton, Stutz, Willys Knight and many more. We have our own Investment Casting Foundry that was set up in 2010 to produce all our own parts in Brisbane, Australia. Due to the fact we make all our own moulds (dies) and produce the parts we can reproduce many new parts in smaller quantities.

We only have 3 cows so there wasn’t too much damage. They are not allowed on my lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
