Re: Drake Sale:
My issue with Drake is quality, not back orders. For example, I ordered the rear fender stone guards for my '46 wagon. They attach with four studs that go thru the fender. Three of the four studs were somehow welded in the wrong place. When I called Drake, I was told "just drill new holes in the fender". Really, drill holes in a freshly painted fender? When I offered to send a paper pattern so that he could match up with the studs I was told "I don't have time for that". The next issue was the "8" that attaches to the hood ornament on my '46. Two weeks after I installed it, I was washing my car and noticed the "8" was missing. The mounting stud was there, but the "8" was gone. When I called Drake, I was asked "did you put silicone adhesive behind it when you installed it"? of course I didn't, did Ford? Let me be perfectly clear, I can't say if it was Bob or a salesperson, however they should have done everything possible to correct the situation and they did nothing.
