Needed some minor items for my '56 olds so I went to the local Advance Auto since the other stores were closed. Knowing from past experiences that while their database goes to 1909, they dont have much if any listings for things proir to '57.
Asked for 7" headlight, R45 plugs, and rad hose w/ diameter and length.
Dude: what car?
Me: your system does go back that far.
Dude: We go to 1909
Me: Ok 1956 Olds 88
Dude: See, it comes up....but we dont list anything for it.
Me: 'providing dumb look"
I did get what I needed at the end, but for the older stuff, I need to know what I need and Part #'s before I enter as they carry the stuff, just dont have it listed under the application.
The Napa i town is much better. Actually had points in stock. I was surprised.
