This is a summary of the conversation I have had with GM Website
concerning Cinnabar. Not that I have stock in Cinnabar, but their
presence on the 'net would be a help to us all. Imagine a fully
automated system that we could order parts and get prices that Jim
Bounds et al could blow away!
Dear GM Webmaster:
Re:
http://www.gm-restorationparts.com/ewopg/consumer/Search_Result_for_Parts.asp
I have been surfing through your website, mainly looking for information
on a new Chevrolet Tracker to tow behind my GMC motorhome. I like the
format and find it easy to use.
I am curious as to why your webpage dedicated to GM Restoration Parts
does not route people looking for 1973-77 GMC Classic motorhome parts to
Cinnabar, the GM licensed distributor? Cinnabar has most of the parts
necessary to repair/restore these classics. There as many as 10,000 of
them still on the road and many groups dedicated to their preservation
and restoration. In fact, there is a registry that has over 6000
coaches listed on it.
Pointing folks from your website to Cinnabar would help us encourage
people to restore these classic coaches, which were well ahead of their
time. These aerodynamic vehicles have continued to impress people with
their advanced styling even 27 years later.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I
would be happy to point you to an appropriate contact.

RESPONSE TO INQUIRY OF WHY DIDNT THEY PARTICIPATE
The feedback we received from the Trademark and Licensing group at GM
was that Wes felt he did not need the web site; that his customers knew
where he was and how to contact him. This was in August of 1998. We do
plan on
revisiting this issue with him as the site has been operational since
January
1999.
Cinnabar's licensed products would certainly add to the product
offerings on
the site and we would welcome him as an involved supplier.
Thank you for your follow up email.
