Title: WTB or Trade: 1947-49 Cadillac Serviceman letters
Post by: Classic on January 16, 2010, 08:54:46 AM
I have copies of the Cadillac Serviceman letters from 1936-1946 that I purchased from Justin Hartley years ago.  I now have a 1947 Cadillac and would like a set of 1947-49 Cadillac Serviceman letters.  Does anyone know who might currently sell them or who took over Justin's business after he passed away?  Or is there someone who has them that I could get a copy of?  I would be happy to trade copies of the ones I have, or buy copies outright.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Gene

Thanks Jeff.  I emailed them.  I wasn't sure if they were still in business since I don't see their ads anymore.

I'm not sure either ? My manuel has nothing to show that they actually made it, but I'm sure I bought it from them some years ago. Let us know ? Thanks

Hi Gene, I have some of these along with in-house memos, etc. Give me a few days to go through them as I'd bought a lot a few years ago and have yet to sort through it. I'll email you directly and we'll work something out. thanks, Jeff in CT

Last I knew Crank'en Hope is out of business due to the poor health of the owner.  Have not heard that someone else has bought/taken over the business.

I tried emailing them and the email came back as a bad address.  I'll try calling them this coming week.  If they are no longer in business, I'll see if they can tell me who they sold the business to (if any).  I'll post again with what I find out.

Called Crank'en Hope Publications (724) 459-8853.  Spoke to who I think was Mrs. David Cummings, Jr.  Said her husband had been sick for 3-4 years and they are no longer in business.  She didn't say what happened to their inventory.
