It is always sad to hear of yet another friend of the hobby pass away. RIP

I thought they were just cleaning out a lot of their old, slow moving stock, not going out of business.

This is from the auction site. "After over 60 years in the business of selling primarily Ford parts, Roger, and his team are retiring."

That was the word I got two weeks ago from Terry, who works there, but at last night's monthly club meeting we got conflicting reports, so I guess I'm still in the dark.

Just called looking for some parts and was told the building has been sold
and they are moving and downsizing but not going out of business.

Growing up in Minnesota this was the go to place. I still have the receipt from there when I bought a brand new rebuilt v8 for my forty ford from 1974. It was $470.00.I'm glad there not going out of buisness. When I was younger and would take a trip to minneapolis, I would always walk by after hours and stare at all the cool stuff hanging on the walls.Both my Dad and I bought parts there for many years and they would always remember who we were and ask about how it was going where we lived.
