Your not outdated - Ocean going vessels are still referred to as Steamships - the shipping companies still call themselves Steamship Lines

Do you know how hard it is to get containers coming into the country?
There is so much crap coming in that the charges going out are so cheap... it costs me $415 to ship a container from Charleston SC to Hong Kong... it costs $650 to get it from Greenville SC to Charleston SC...

On the other hand.... it costs about $4000 from Hong Kong to Charleston...

So does anyone have an answer to this...

"Was the Yenko stock numbers
( door jam numbers on the tag )
assigned to a car:
...When the car was ordered from chevrolet?
...or when the conversion took place?
....or is there another answer?"
