subject: The Original Vehicle Displays Are Still The Best [print this page] After completing the rack and getting it set up, for the four weeks after, a client shared with Frank that it was fantastic being able to observe the trucks on the stand from the highway. A buyer saw the trucks from the toll road and came in and decided to buy it right off the stand! Four weeks later, the owner of the car lot said to Frank "you have got to start putting these in all the car dealerships around town. So Frank took some pictures and shared them to all his clientle..
One summer day in early 1980 I walked into Frank's business to pay a visit to him, and as I did the telephone rang and the secretary answered and put the person on hold and informed me to hang on, she would be right back. She came back and said no one was present and the person on the telephone wanted to know about the automobile stands. I did not know all about them but shared with her I would speak to him. It was someone from Volkswagen in Salt Lake City, UT. He said he had looked at our car stand while in San Diego and wanted some information concerning them. I talked to him concerning how they have been effective and he said he wanted one so I got his name, address, and phone number. When Frank returned I told him I had talked to a individual that had called in and he needed one of the car stands handing him the note. Frank said, "I'll pay you for that", and I said, "Give me the call."
In the beginning it was sluggish as no one knew what I was talking about when I called them and told them what we had that would help them make more sales and I would mail them a couple of photographs. One dealer in Southern California said he liked them but was not sure and after talking for a few minutes four or five times over a few days I told him I would bring two of them up and set them up on his lot for thirty days. After thirty days he could tell me, get them out of here or pay me for them.
30 days afterward I gave him a telephone call and he said, "I have good news and bad news. We need these two and 2 additional the same as them." I said, "OK, what's the bad news?", and he asked, "Can we do the same thing with four of them at the new Mitsubishi store. I know they want them, they just want thirty days to pay." I said, "Sure, what's the bad news?"
Over the years I have had thousands of people buy one to try the car platform out and then buy more. The Chrysler Zone Headquarters in Houston, TX acquired 5 of the vehicle display racks and place them out at car washes. Having good luck with them they then ordered seventy additional and we shipped them to a variety of dealers in their zone, some got one, and some 2 , three, and some 4.
One day I received a call from someone in New York that said he checked out one of our platforms in San Francisco, CA on his way through and wanted to know if we could ship it to Guam.I said we could and have since shipped them quite a few.
We have shipped our car stands all over the world since then.
