Subject: Pearsonville Auto Parts
On my way down 395 yesterday I stopped in at Pearsonville
(www.pvilleparts.com). Unfortunately they don't let people walk
around the yard, but he says he's goot 200+ AMCs dating back to
the early 1950's. He knows his models, and described the clutch
linkage parts I need to switchover my 70 Hornet (I thought that
would be a good test; he knew the 6 parts were different for those
early years).
There's a parts request form on their website. They're on the
road to nowhere so you'll be mail-ordering.
There were three or more generations of family in the place, very
rural. Just-weaned kids to toothless grandma in the front room.
Pearsonville isn't even a bump on the road. Seem pretty sharp for
auto parts though, there was a warehouse with somewhat neat
shelves of parts plus ahuge yard out back. Land is still cheap
around there!
This is the place that advertises 500,000 hubcaps. Seems literally
true. Right next to the front door was a mid-70's AMC aluminum
dogdish.
