The Paddock

Are they closed for good or are they reorganizing? I have gotten a few things from them. Hate to see them go. The market needs competition to keep the prices honest.

The way this economy is going, it is starting to become hard for everyone to stay in business. It's sad to see a place like this close down.

I used them for many parts for my restoration. Like the rest of you, I am sad to see them go if they are really gone. I hope they are re-organizing.

I live about 20 miles from Paddock. I just recently bought an old car and I tried to order some parts from them, and got the same message on the phone saying they were closed. So the rumor around here is that they got into some financial trouble, which is understandable, given the economy and such. I hope they are able open back up in the future. My dad always used to buy parts for his old car there!

I heard they just shut down and sent everyone home one day and that's the end for them.
