In 1967, I needed a manual transmission for my '50 Buick Special. The local boneyards didn't have one, and my mother suggested I look in the Sears Catalog. There it was. I took a chance and called the number listed in the catalog. I was told there was one in stock in town. I figured I would have to drive into Minneapolis to the main store, but when I asked where it was, I was told it was at the Knollwood store in Hopkins, Minnesota. At that time, I lived in Minnetonka, Minnesota which is the next suburb over. I had the transmission at home an hour later. It was $59.95 as I remember.
That's what I miss about Sears.
