Default Vintique, Inc.

Does anyone know how to contact a company that calls themselves "Vintique, Inc." ?
They have a website that has been "under construction" for the past several years. Must be one of those Obama shovel ready jobs that never happened.
They do not answer their emails to their supposed email address of [email protected] either. And no phone, physical or mailing address.

Anyway, their stuff is made in China so I am wondering if that is where they are?

Many of the little shot retailers, Drake, Mac's, Carpenter, etc. sell their stuff but I cannot get any info from them either.

I would imagine as poor as their quality sometimes is they purposely ignore e-mails and phone calls as likely they don't want to hear it. Rod

I think (no sure) they sell almost exclusively on Epay only. Would be careful.

Sorry, but like the big suppliers some of Vintique's offerings are excellent (while not disagreeing that some of them are junk).

They don't retail their products, they are only a supplier to retailers

I no longer want to contact them. I have just found a supplier for the small things I need at this moment and they are not made in China. Made in the USA!
At least that is what I was told on the phone moments ago. When I take delivery, I will certainly know.
Thanks for all your inputs.

I think 'Vintiques' and 'Wheel Vintiques' are two separate companies. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Vintique and Wheel Vintiques are two separate companies. Wheel Vintiques is actually owned by Coker. I have used some Vintique stuff and it fit excellent. Like any other company there's some good and some poor quality. Talk to your fellow Fordophiles that own the same year car as yours and ask them about various suppliers and what fits and what doesn't fit. Do your homework. I've seen some American made stuff that didn't fit. Remember back to the days when everything came from Argentina if you want to see stuff that didn't fit. Their stuff made the Chinese stuff look like NOS.

Right on about those "Hecho in Argentina" parts! I'd almost totally forgotten about them.
