[Tigers] How Did the Dealers Get the Cars?

Uncle Wally, where are you when we need you?
 
Uncle Wally would have the answers since he was in charge of all
Chrysler dealers east of the Mississippi.  I believe he said he  had
a POE in Newark NJ.  Also one in Houston.
 
One tidbit was the last boatload had 30 Tigers MK IIs  and 62  Simcas.
The Cleveland distributor had ordered the 16 Tigers and 32 Simcass.He 
swapped the Simcas for all of the Tigers.  Thus the last of the MK IIs  went 
to
the Cleveland area.
 
I spoke with an old Tiger nut, Richard Greisberg in NJ who said
most of the racers didn't want the LAT options because some of
them were not great quality.  Instead they used off the shelf  stuff.
They raced on Long Island.  He called the options LIT's for
Long Island Tiger  instead of LAT.
 
My MK IA (B382002668) was built in mid-December 1966 and
came over in the first quarter of 1967.
 
Dave
