    Do one of you had the dealer listed as 24-389? I believe that is the California zone.

    Jim,
    If I am reading my info correctly then zone 24 is Los Angeles and the dealer number of "389" is,
    Jim Retzlaff Co.
    Barstow California.

    Maybe Mike can chime in and verify this, I think he has the same info and is more familiar with it then I am. Hope this helps.

    PS. This is 1981 information.

    That Dealership was in business from 1970-73
    Cars sold each year
    1970 - 43
    1971 - 49
    1972 - 68
    1973 - 27


    Could not find a zip. Sorry.

    95% of the dealer information that I am able to supply is due to Mark Macoubrie's generosity in sharing this information....

    We all appreciate it Mark.... :TU:

    Mike Trom,
    At least you had some to start with, 100% of the dealer information that I have is due to Mark Macoubrie's generosity, plus he helped me get started with the databases I use to decode the buildsheets. Before that I used to decode them by hand, now they look very professional.

    Definately one of the good guys.

    Thank you for the compliments. I am trying to get the list published. I have all the data typed in but I need to back check it all for spelling errors ect. This is proving to be a daunting task. I will continue to work on it and hope to add it to my website sometime this year.

    I agree. Great of you to do this. I'm amazed that you even have unit sales figures for a dealer. Thanks for tracking it all down.
