C-85 726 #3 Posted December 24, 2020 Hi Gearnut, My family was also a W/H dealer in VT, in White River Jct. We did dealer swaps with 197 Pearl and I believe it was Randy Parker that owned it. I went to this dealership several times and always enjoyed visiting with them, they had an impressive shop! 197 Pearl had some distinction, I think they were the largest W/H dealer in New England back in the 80's. I've driven by in recent times and they are no longer there, at least where they used to be, so I'm not sure what became of them. Good luck with your search! Best, C-85 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best, C-85 C-85 I have always wounded if there where dealerships in our home state. Being further up the road never saw to many of them. Where there others in the state that you remember of? Happy New Year. I just saw the dealer list maybe add info there or have a Mod do it. There is no listing for Vt.

C-85 726 #6 Posted December 28, 2020 Hi Retired Wrencher, This sounds like a memory test! I'm sure there was another dealer in Barre, but I can't remember their name. I'm sorry, I can't think of any more in Vermont. We also did some swaps with Deb's Wheel and Deal in Haverhill NH. Best, C-85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best, C-85 Thanks C-85. You would seem to think southern Vt would have some? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
