[Chrysler300] Re: Joseph Pollak Part No. 52-245

["richard_e_osborne" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just realized who the company is which is being discussed here. I have called on Pollack (now Stoneridge) in Juarez, Mexico for many years. I have sold them equipment for their manufacturing in Europe also.

This is a HUGE organization which manufactures and sells to OEM auto and heavy truck companies.

I'll be surprised if they care about a 50+ year old car. They produce parts for more cars in a day than the entire letter car production.

Please advise how they respond when their expert returns. If he tries to help, then they get a big gold star!

Best regards,

Richard
