Stoddard is expanding

[ret9191]

Bruce Swartz the owner of Stoddard Imported cars drove down from Cleveland yesterday for a visit. Bruce told me he just aquired NLA in Nevada which mainly handles 356 repro parts. NLA has always done a great job making authentic 356 parts. Bruce recently sold the car dealer portion of Stoddard but still owns the vintage parts side. The new business will be Called Stoddard NLA. Bruce also said they will be doing additional parts for early 911's such as side window frames etc. Bruce realizes the interest in the early cars and with his focus on just the parts side this could be good for all of us. We had a discusion also about all the hard to find early 911 parts so i hope soon for some new items. Thanks Ron

Thats great to hear! Over the past few years Stoddard has been showing an increasing interest in the early 911 market. Looking forward to seeing some of the new items

Is NLA Brad Ripley's old company?

Good to hear of some support for our early cars.

Yes Brad Ripley owned NLA, Bruce said he is staying on board because of his extensive parts knowledge and know how when it comes to reproducing parts.

Can someone pls post the new web address when it becomes available.
I have had good service for hard to get items from Stoddards over the years and cars.

Cheers,
Dennis.

My father and I have used Brad extensively over the years and he and his team have been nothing but FIRST CLASS all the way. They have great products, ship quickly and always there to help

Glad to see that he is staying on through the merger/acquisition. Way to go Brad! (and thanks for you advise on the breaking down issue!)

I will ask Bruce or brad if they are going to have a new website to merge the two sites? Thanks Ron

Maybe one of their first jobs could be getting the 69-73 dash boards that fit.
