I found out in my editorial meeting today that CCT has a 41-percent sell-through at Wal-Mart, and 40-percent at the bookstores. Those kind of numbers are off the chart. I'm really curious to know who subscribes, and who buys CCT off the newsstand. I know sometimes someone will tell me they buy CCT at a little hole-in-the-wall Mom and Pop store in the middle of nowhere, I love hearing that kind of stuff.  

Thanks you guys,  

I don't ever have to buy them, they come to the office directly and hot off the press  

That's called a subscription.  

Haha I didn't subscribe either  

Yeah okay Lewis, we get the point you work for the company so you get the magazine for free.

Obviously you are a much shrewder negotiater than I am, because all I get is what is known as an editor's discount.

The next time my contract is up, I want you to rep for me at the table, so I can get free copies of CCT.  

Don't worry John, I put up a good fight. Ill get your demands met.  

Funny, I just read the copy Lewis gets...  

I was wondering where that issue went... Hmph  

Gee Ed, and Lewis, this is real swell — Now the general public knows if they want to take a massive cut in pay they can come to work here, and get their magazines for free.

Oh well, to anybody that buys their magazines at Wal-Mart this is a personal thank you because Custom Classic Trucks is kicking the crap out of Automobile magazine on Wal-Mart's newsstands. I gotta tell you that I was just flat-out amazed, because Automobile is a major magazine with real writers, real photographers, and those guys can tell you at the drop of a hat which new Volvo comes with a built-in Butt-Warmer or if the car in their 4-page gatefold ad. is worth buying or not.

Anyways, thanks again!  

I can't find CCT at wal-mart or any other store in the Levittown,Pa. area.I would like to get a copy of the dec. issue i was told my truck is in it at the ALL TRUCK NATS.,Thanks ONE EYE WILLY  

rodder 135,

Email me your address at john.gilbert@sourceinterlink.com and I'll mail you a copy.

As a rule most Wal-Marts carry CCT, but that figure of 41-percent sell-through means it sells out pretty fast. Early in the month you can have Wal-Mart order more copies. This is true for bookstores like Borders as well.

Which truck is yours?

Thanks,

John G.  

THANK YOU JOHN G I WILL EMAIL YOU MY ADDRESS,MY TRUCK IS A SATIN BLACK 57 CHEVY,AIR BAGED.THE SHOP NAME ON THE DOORS IS ONE EYE WILLY'S street rod shop,WITH RED STEELIES   THANKS WILL SMITH  

Cool truck Will, I'll mail it out first thing tomorrow. While we're talking, what kind of stuff are you building? Maybe we can shoot some of it for CCT. Either Cody or I, will be back in Carlisle for 2008, trying to shoot as many trucks as we can.
