Bill Hanks in singing debut

feeds@yuku.com (Rex Burkheimer) — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 18:47:25 GMT

I know it's his debut because he obviously hasn't gotten very good at it
But he did earn $50 for it, so I guess that makes him a pro.

Jan/Feb Poster Kits will be late

feeds@yuku.com (Rex Burkheimer) — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 14:40:40 GMT

I just wanted to give you a heads up on the Retail Poster kits for January/February. They left our warehouse on the 22nd via Yellow Freight, but because of the way Christmas and New Years falls on week days they will be arriving at your warehouse late. Normally if we get them out by the 22nd that gives them plenty of time to get to you.

They are being delivered January 3rd through January 8th depending on your location.

If you have any questions please feel free to call...

2007 Calendars

feeds@yuku.com (Rex Burkheimer) — Wed, 09 Aug 2006 14:04:54 GMT

We have had a number of inquiries about calendars this year. Usually we get this set up sometime in Early June, but it just got by us this year.
In years past, there has been an official endorsed Parts Plus calendar supplier. 3 years ago it was Brown & Bigelow, then it changed to Teldon, then last year it was "Either". This year it appears to be "Non of the above". Neither Parts plus nor WM Automotive has approved a specific vendor, and neither has contacted...

June Sale followup

feeds@yuku.com (Rex Burkheimer) — Mon, 03 Jul 2006 17:29:37 GMT

there were a few items on the June Father's Day Sale that need wrapping up:

Duragloss: If you sold a #902 Car Wash gallon your customer should have received a cap. Check with me or Bobby Franke in Fort Worth if that did not happen.

Castrol Instant Rebate - You have most of this month to turn in your invoice copies for reimbursement.

KD Tool GearWrench - We must have hit the "sweet spot" on this item. We have run these in several sales the last few years. This...

2006 Collector Car - '69 Hemi Charger

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Mon, 03 Jul 2006 09:42:38 GMT

We are making a major change on the Parts Plus Collector Car for 2006. For 7 years, we have done some kind of street rod. We believe this concept has run its course, in that looking for a 2007 version, there was nothing new-looking out there. Everything looked like repeats of what we have done in the past.

So in looking for new ideas, we decided to change direction and go with a series of 60s muscle cars. We are also changing companies. Liberty Classics has treated us well over...

From Parts Plus Headquarters:

As of Monday, June 12, there are 235 registrations for the Convention. 203 qualify for the earnback package.

As a reminder, the National earnback package is $150.00. Your local package is $200

Custom caps

feeds@yuku.com (Rex Burkheimer) — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 17:39:09 GMT

We seem to have lost our source on special-order caps.
Until we find another vendor we will not be able to order caps like we used to.
Here is what we can do in the interim: We will order premium quality caps from Parts Plus. These are normally only available twice a year, and they are really nice "keeper" caps.
To those we can have your store name added to the temple area for a reasonable price. This will give you a first-rate cap, embroidered with store name, for...
