What are Eminger Invoices.
They are the second page of the origional FOMOCO Invoice that had to be signed for on delivery of the vehicle as it left the factory.
As these are Origional Paperwork, they can only be obtained once if they have not been claimed in the past.
Named after a wonderful lady that worked for Ford from the mid 40's to the 70's.
She discovered that Ford were destroying these invoices and realising this was History, convinced management to let her preserve and distribute them to owners.
Unfortunately, most pre 1969 Mustang Invoices had allready been destroyed.
I first met Lois in 1983 and then again in 1994 at Dearborn in Michigan.
Purchased my first invoice from her in 1989 and had been doing so until her health stopped her doing this and all remaining invoices were taken over by Kevin Marti.
Her motivation was not Profit and she seemed to get a genuine satisfaction out of giving you a further piece of your Pride and Joy, She only charged her costs of storage and postage, after you had proved by posting her a copy of your Title or Australian Rego as proof of ownership.
All contact was by Handwritten letters, I don't think she had a computer then, and was not contactable by phone.
I still have all her correspondence.
In 1998 I was woken by the phone very early one morning, and even though it was years since we had last met, she was very concerned that she had seen on TV a story about the devestating floods Townsville had recieved, and asked if I was OK.
This was the attitude she had to everyone she met and in every thing she did.
Link Below was one of the many tributes to Her on Her Passing.
