Dealer Code Update

[gsxnut]

Update on the Dealer Codes. I will be added more dealer codes. I made a trip to Detriot for Woodward and stopped at Flint. They had a document that showed all the dealers and dealer codes for dealerships from 1970-1981. I will be adding the entire list. There are approximately 5500 codes. Only the dealer name and city were on this list. No address. I have additionally been working on entering addresses from a 1968 document. There should be about 2500 address from there. The problem I have with the database is I have information from different years and I cannot guarentee that the address for a dealer did not change from year to year. I am trying to decide how to put the database together to keep the information separated but still give the all the information I have on any given dealer. It will me another month or so before I can get the information completed. I will then need help backchecking all the data. Just thought I would let you know how it is going.

I don't need a copy. I take peoples word for it. The only Candian ones I have are already on the list. There may be more in Flint but I did not have time to look.

Thanks for your hard work compiling these dealer codes,Mark! I too,appreciate your dedication and determination.

Have you ever thought about publishing a dealer code book? I think it would be very benificial to guys like us if something like this was available.

Wilkinson, Virginia Harriet Wilson
Virginia Harriet Wilson Wilkinson 1920 ~ 2005 Our precious mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother, Virginia Harriet Wilson Wilkinson, left us
Tuesday, March 1, 2005 to reunite with her beloved father, mother, and
brother. Born June 10, 1920 in Salt Lake City to George Frank Wilson and
Harriet Retta McIntosh Wilson. Virginia grew up in Salt Lake in the Avenues
where she met and married the love of her life, Finley Fawcett Wilkinson,
March 20, 1941. He died December 27, 1989. While Finley served in the
Philippines during World War II, Virginia lived in California with her
parents. Virginia's only sibling, Frank, was shot down over France while
defending his country in July 1944. She missed him every day of her life. When
Finley returned, they moved to Bountiful where they raised their family of
five children. She also helped her parents raise her brother's son, Terry.
Virginia and Finley owned and operated Wilkinson Buick in Bountiful for 35
years. She worked for Flying "J" Refineries for several years before joining
her daughter, Barbara, and son-in-law, Ken, in their jet charter business,
Barken International, until her retirement in 1999. Virginia was a friend to
many. She was dearly loved by everyone who was lucky enough to get to know
her. She will be greatly missed. Virginia is survived by her five children,
Barbara (Ken) Hepner, Rebecca (Paul) Larsen, F. Frank (Sylvia) Wilkinson, Deb
W. Wilkinson and his close companion Marda Quick, and Cynthia Meeks; her
nephew, Terry D. (Linda) Wilson; her 10 grandchildren; and her 14
great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Frank, and
