What happened to the old car market???
We are busier than we have been in decades!!!!!
This is absolutely NOT a complaint, but haven't been fishing in a couple of years. Could clone myself 4 or 5 times and still be busy.
I cannot put a trend on what is selling, as we make carb kits for 1897 through 1974; but getting orders from about 1903 through 1974.
Pontiac sales are in the top 5, but Caterpiller is still number 1.
Other good sellers are Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, Nash, and I.H.C. Very little activity, at least for us, with MoPar or Ford.
Top selling carburetor brands are: Ensign, Marvel, Stromberg, Carter, Rochester, and Zenith.
For anyone that is GOOD with rebuilding carbs that would like to increase their income, there is a tremendous market right now for GOOD carburetor rebuilders. We turn down an average of 25 jobs per WEEK!
