Heads up for you NOS parts fans. A few days age, you may be interested to know, Bob Jones, who ran Dennis Carpenter NOS for years, retired. I was told today that the NOS building is now locked up.

I enjoyed chatting with Bob and cruising through the vast NOS collection in the Dennis Carpenter tent at Hershey every year. He will be sorely missed by everyone. I don’t think they will find a successor to Bob’s with his knowledge of Ford NOS, plus his list of contacts from who he purchased estates with NOS stuff..

If Dennis Carpenter decides not continue the NOS business without Bob, Mike Driskell who has been getting NOS stuff from Bob, could possible take the inventory.

I asked the women who answers DC's phone if they were going to Fall Carlisle ? She said it's all very fluid at this point.

Would they have the NOS parts like at Hershey without Bob to ID and price them ?
