Default Corvette Specialties Of Maryland is Relocating!

After 34 years in the business, and within a 10 mile radius of our present location, we are moving west!
Our phone numbers will remain the same for the foreseeable future, and our immediate priorities will be minimizing down time with our parts sales. Most of you are aware that our "sister" Company, Corvette Specialties Manufacturing has developed many products through the years. There are many other companies that offer the many fine reproduction items that we carry. Of course this is not like packing a trailer and going to Carlisle, We will be relocating in late September to Palm Desert California. We will not be accepting any restoration jobs after August 24, and will complete and ship all jobs that are in our shop before we leave. We expect to have our services up and running by late this year. Please call before sending any jobs that will arrive after the above date, as they will be returned to you. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We will be attending Carlisle, and will have our brand new, completely assembled, 58, 59, and 60-62 dash insert assemblies, and our correct upper moldings for 65-67 side exhaust.

I hate to see you moving out west. It has always been so quick and easy dealing with you so close. I am sure those out west will be glad to see you coming! Good Luck!

Nice! We're glad to have you out here. Somewhat surprised you're not setting up shop in Arizona or Nevada due to the business climate here, but I'm sure you've looked into it thoroughly. It will be really nice to have you here.

With our 65s winter home in PalmSprings, this is welcome news...

By the way I can't (but I will) to see our dash, clock, and other parts that you just finished your expert work on, that was just shipped out to us.

Mark.

Thank you guys, and to Chuck and Pat, you understood the desire to get out of the hard winters. Last winter was the last straw!

Does this mean you will now become "Corvette Specialties of Palm Desert?

Thanks for the great job you have done for me in the past!

Yes, it was brutal up in Maryland this past winter. We drove up to Mitzi's house right before Christmas, in the middle of that 36" snowfall.

I had given her and her husband my snowblower when we moved. NEVER thought I'd use it again, but I did.

You're gonna LOVE the warmer climate.

Others have said it, but I'll repeat it...

You don't have to shovel heat.

Oh yea, it will be a welcome change. The double shot of blizzards that we had, over 45 inches in a 5 day period was the last straw. We are still the same company, just a different location. We have found that many C-1 and C-2 Corvettes reside in the Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, Palm Desert area. Lots of us gray hair guys too!

Welcome to the west, but don't tell everyone how great it is. Let those east coasters stay where they're at.

Brian,

I am so sorry to see you leave the area, but understand why. Soon I hope to retire from CBP and you never know, maybe just maybe I will end up out there. Like you I am sick of the crap weather and looking for WARMTH. What is going to happen to Pat and the crew?

Hope to talk to you at Carlisle....best of luck in your new adventure. Are you sure the performance of the O's had nothing to do with this move?

We will talk...remember you are now CLOSER TO THE BORDER....

Collin

Does your move have anything to do with California Proposition #19 ??
