Hi Alex,
You are very kind in your comments. Thank you. Yes I was lucky in the 1980's to be able to score a lot of good CMP and Carrier spares from Levy Auto Parts, a huge surplus dealer in Toronto, but after close to 20 years of selling, my supply has thinned. I wish I still had "warehouses full"! Many CMP's across Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Europe sport decorative parts that I have sold including the rare bumper jewels that I used to buy by the box full.
Levy Auto Parts in Toronto was, I believe, the only potential source in North America for CMP parts and I was lucky to spend several years scrounging through their vast storage buildings. Only a handful of collectors had the time to spend there buying parts; it was just too time-consuming and the CMP market was quite limited at the time. It was estimated that 10's of thousands of tons of army truck and tank parts went to scrap.
Worth a complete story one day!
