Re: IML: 1966 Imperial Washer Bottle & Reproductions

["Mark Jefferson" <imperialist67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I picked up a nice reproduction washer bottle for my '67 from a guy in NC who has been making them up. Matches the original quite nicely (it's more of a pure white than the vintage ones), and I remember it costing around $45 or so. Prices for NOS ones have gotten pretty out of line, so this makes a nice option. 

Here's his info: 

David Dixon 
4307 Rosebud CHurch Rd. 
Wilson NC 27893 
(252) 291 - 7835 

The business card I got this info. from, is a bit old, and the email address had already gone out of date, so I can't put a whole lot of faith, but at least it may be a starting point. 

The but the Carlisle folks(where he usually has a space) may have more current info. for him. 

Good luck.
