When I was in the wharehouse in Colombus in 1998 Leif Montin, the 
former parts manager, was working for DMC at the time and showed me a 
cardfile that he said contained vin #s, dealer lists and frame #s. He 
said it wasn't complete but there was a lot of info that someday would 
(time permitting) be made available. For further info contact James 
Espey as he might know what became of it.
