Now yer talkin',, buy in quantity, these babies won't last forever....(might not even make it out the door)...I see you recognize quality when you see it, and not one to linger when there's a bargain to be had,, so I'm prepared to offer you a one time only deal of 300 units at the wholesale price of just $200 each, out the door today...(well the order is out the door today, delivery may take up to several years)...Yes the beautiful retro styling of these moneymakers is inspiring to say the least...and sure to be a collector item..(sooner rather than later) Now get those orders in folks, they don't make em like this anymore....(legally they can't)
