KMP @ Costco?

David, good marketing work. If more people knew of your cars you would sell more. FYI, had I not seen your cars on ebay a year ago I would have never known about them and would have not bought the two cars. PS gauges work great. Look into advertising in the Dupont Registry. I have absolutly nothing to do with them but know it is a place I also would have become interested in Kirkham cars.

It was great to see that the Package went in less than 18 hours...Great job and not a bad way to get 22 million households to see your product. Costco...Now that is smart!

As for the Sam's Club post about " trying to one up Costco " That would be interesting as they most always take a great product from the USA, go to China and make a copy in thier factories ( If they were thier own country, they would be the 5th largest importer from china in the world)...I can see it now A plastic body with a aluminum graphic wrap, Halibrand Hubcaps, Genuine 'leather look' Vynil seats, BadYear tires...all for $8,893.93

Dan,

Costco has been moving into higher and higher quality products over time. We are very happy to have sold one of our 427 KMS/SC's with them. They are very nice people to work with.

Computerworks,

Haven't thought of a special emblem. Sounds like a good idea!

Ernie,

Costco is definitely moving up-scale with limited-offer products and fine art. I just think our fine art has 4 wheels!

As for who, where, why, etc...

I'm just happy it happened!

Murphy,

We are always looking for better ways to do things--engineering, manufacturing and marketing.

RaceDeck,

LOL

I think someone would be very hard pressed to knock this off in China. It takes highly skilled labor and a very large administrative commitment--not to mention the problem of actually getting product out that you have paid for. Wal-mart is one thing--they have the pull at a governmental level to make sure things get done and shipped. As a "little" guy, who is to say a slick salesman in China just won't take your money and run...let's just say...I have sad experience.
