Bruce,
If no such list exists, would you consider assembling one? Everyone on
this list probably knows of a (former) dealer or two, and could send
information to you.
My father bought my TD from Trans-Sport Sales & Service, Inc, 1010 N.
Boulevard, Richmond 20, VA. Telephone 5-1775. "Fine imported and
Domestic Autombiles (they misspelled it) and Motorcycles, Aircraft and
Yacht Brokers" Its heater was installed later, invoice #3770, Install
heater, adjust valves, $49.95, additional parts $1.70, less 15 %
discount, $36.65.
