This is great Bob, especially for folks in Canada as shipping from the US can add a lot of expense to parts.

Jim Hill maintained a very detailed list for many years, but is no longer due to health/age reasons.

I have a copy of one of his last lists produced. But I'm not sure how accurate it still is as the pandemic devastated a lot of smaller companies and suppliers/manufacturers that supplied them.

Folks like John Ulrich have already stated that they are winding down and no longer producing additional stock as his suppliers now want large minimum runs, which are not feasible. He said the catalog he has out will be his last, and a lot of stuff in the catalog is already sold out.

The same has happened with Bill Hirsch's company, as they are no longer reproducing any of the Packard hubcaps.
