Will Sanders - Starlight

[studeski]

If anybody has talked to Will Sanders lately tell him I can't seem to connect with him. We were talking about interior for my 1960 Champ. His last email said he could send pictures of what he has but some how our communications stopped. I tried leaving him voice mails with no reply. I tried starting over by filling out his form on the website. No response. The last time I heard from him was August 9th.
Thanks, if you can help. 2623397391

I will give Will a call tomorrow. Didn't wait. Just called him. Said he will look into it.

[skyway]

Thanks, that was actually just my poor attempt at humor.

[DieselJim]

Check my post in the National Meet thread. Registration Pack for venders

Keep me up to date. Will is attending the meet in South Bend.

Will has not contacted me yet. He doesn't always have a vending space. He just attends and delivers if necessary.

[DieselJim]

I will call him in a week. March 8.

Will called me. It has been cold and he has not made to the warehouse. Said he will email you.

[studeski]

Thanks Jim. I don't think it was that cold in August.

Will called me. It has been cold and he has not made to the warehouse. Said he will email you.

Jim,
Still nothing. I have bought from him before. I may have to go elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I had the same experience. I tried multiple times over TWO YEARS to get a response and never did. No an email, not a phone call, not a text, not a message through this forum, not a single thing. I heard multiple excuses from people that know them: they have been very busy, they are teachers, they’re still trying to get things organized, it’s cold out there, etc. and none of them are any justification. For the life of me I can’t understand why they bought the stuff and claim they’re going to be in business if it’s a constant battle just to try to get a call back.

Giving up on them is exactly what I did.

I once received a call back from Mr. Sanders a few years ago, I guess my request form got to the top of the stack.

I was (and still am) looking for blue bucket seat covers. My Lark hardtop was built from a number of parts cars in the 1980s after my original Lark F4 sedan died from terminal rust.

So Mr. Sanders and I had a nice discussion on Studebaker interiors, pricing and how I wanted a set of blue bucket seat covers as close to the blue that was used in a 1962 Lark Regal two door sedan or something that would work with 1962 F4 blue door panels, nothing came of our conversation.

I may have filled out another request form or two over the last couple of years with no response.

I have even thought of taking time off to go to Nunn, Colorado, I figured out where the warehouse is located on google maps and I have family and friends from Cheyenne down to Denver but if no one is at the warehouse either...

I guess I will continue to do with my seats what I have done for years, throw a towel on the seat and pull an old sweatshirt over the seatback

ps. a FWIW: When you're dealing with the decline and passing of your parents and other trying life events, the need to acquire replacement seat covers becomes rather unimportant, if it happens, it happens.
