Ok,now I getcha. Although "exclusive" is hardly how I'd descibe it. Gotta disagree,though,on the "no history". Maybe more like "no huge media promotion/build-up". There isn't a vehicle out there with no history. And,there have been dealerships closing down with far greater history than this one. A couple years ago we lost a great dealership to "progress(?)". Knott & Geisbert was a rural dealership that sold tractors,farm implements,and GMC Trucks. The business started in 1900 building carriages. My '85 Jimmy is from there and in the owner's booklet are cards for the service manager and sales manager. One is a Knott and the other a Geisbert. This business was still family run till the day the shut the doors...110 years later. Unfortunately,Frederick County,MD in the last couple decades has gone from having agriculture as it's #1 industry to being a bedroom community for the hoards of people out of the Washington,DC suburbs...the ones who complain about the smell when their Yuppy Castle is built next to a hog farm. They didn't have a bunch of vehicles left around to decay,but I got some great N.O.S. parts. There was an article in the local paper,no circus. I'm sure there are stories like this from all around the country and throughout history. It means more to me to have this Jimmy from Knott & Geisbert than having a vehicle from Lambrecht
