Thanks, Mike; those are neat ads.
Did anyone notice the used '59 Lark station wagon in the second ad? It is equipped with V-8, 6-cylinder, automatic transmission! Wow; 14 cylinders total!
The names of the Cincinnati area dealers are listed in the last ad. Which of them, if any, survived until the very end in 1966? Surely there had to be one left in that large of a metro area in March 1966. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Mike, is that a square lite 64 or round?
As far as Shepherd Service, I used to go down there on a regular basis around 1967. They moved down the street to a newer and larger building when they were just Mercedes. I became good friends with one of the owners, Pete Shepherd. We used to drive up to SB and buy parts and make a day of it. Pete's son and daughter still live here n town. His daughter owns Pete's old Avanti and belongs to our local chapter. His son, Glen has his own auto service business.

Is your Avanti a round or square light?
Pete Shepherd and I were good friends back in the day starting around 1968 or so. We used to drive to SB together to buy parts. His daughter still owns Pete's old Avanti and she belongs to our local club. His son, Glen , is still in town and owns an auto repair shop.
