Just curious cuz mine was shipped to #8 Hutchinson, KS. Guess #8 refers to a geographic zone.

Is Armacost the name of the trucking company?

Ahh, I have re-read 4961Studebaker's original post a couple of times after reading fstst56's post and it makes more sense now. The "#8 KC MO" is the location of the destination dealer, and the Armacost probably is the name of the shipper. My po has a unique box for shipper, it is not a word after the destination in the same box.

What an AWESOME pic! I love it! Wish I could find a pic of my dealer, and the correct date on advertising would be icing on the cake.
