Received word from Lou Grosso at Early Ford V-8 Sales in Ballston Spa, New York, last week that they are completing their transition to their new facility in Piedmont, South Carolina, between June 15 and July 4. As you know from earlier Hemmings Speedster restoration posts, we have gotten to know Lou and crew quite well over the past few years, acquiring many new parts from them in addition to having them rehab the rear differential. We’ll be sad to see them go as they were only about an hour away from Hemmings World Headquarters and it was convenient for us to run over there for pickups to save shipping costs and down time.

One item they were hoping not to have to move is this great Model A pickup with the rare indented firewall. Not a recent restoration but still in great shape and mechanically roadworthy. Reasonably priced at $13,900 too.

Lou let us know that even during the transition, the ordering option on the website is still capable of accepting your parts orders. They will ship these orders from the new Piedmont facility on July 5. Their phone number for ordering is the same 800-417-3347 it always was but the new South Carolina phone number will be 864-845-7878. We are sad to see them leave the Northeast and locations may change but staff, technical know how and courtesy do not.  We’ll continue to to business with them from long distance.
