    I was discussing in another thread how my 1972 Ford Maverick Grabber was purchased new at Aclin Ford Company in Arkansas.

    I googled the name and I found:

    - Regulated Storage Tanks (RST) Data Files Storage Tank Details for This Facility
    ACLIN FORD COMPANY
    AIR BASE EXIT
    JACKSONVILLE, AR 72076
    County: PULASKI

    Official citation and/or docket number and footnotes (if any) for this case available with purchase.


    - Found a used car dealer called: Ford Aclin Co Inc.

    Sherwood, AR 72120-1753

    - Aclin Ford Co. -Dba Aclin Toyo Air Base Exit

    - And about 27,000 other results



    So....there is lots of stuff out there. Anybody in Arkansas know where this dealer is located?

    I grew up in Little Rock and Aclin Ford used to be a huge new car dealership that even sponsored an evening talent show on Friday nights. Not enough room here to go into what a fixture they were on radio and TV. Biggest one I remember is their midnight talent show they ran along with some late night "B" movie with local talent, regular side-kick acts (Jessie the talking mule---that don't talk). The host for the show was Charles McRaven and I still remember it------"Charles McRaven here for ACLIN ford, AIRBASE exit, AT the freeway in downtown Jacksonville".

    Excuse me........I wax nostalgic.............

    Arkansas dealer

    Craig, what procedure would I use, to find out which dealer my Mavericks came from? Is it through the Marti Report? Yhanks, for any information. :Handshake

    Marti report would work for sure.

    I happen to find the original Bill of Sale in this mess:

    :biglaugh: Ok, thanks. I have looked through both of my Mavericks, for such information. Yet, finding nothing. I guess I will have to quit being a cheap a$$ and get the Marti Reports.:Handshake

    Oh man, I made the mistake of reading this and now I can't get Charles McRaven out of my head...

    They definitely were a fixture.
