Isuzu North America Closing next week

So the Headquarters in Cerritos, CA is closing next week. I met with the corporate communications person and they just donated the VXo2, VX 4, Axiom convertible, and Axiom prototype to the Peterson Museum in LA. He also gave me a some stuff to give to the VX group. The easiest thing is if you live in the LA area and are willing to come to my house and pick some stuff up. I have 5 framed collectors photos, 7 swiss army knives, 11 Tamiya models, 10 hats, 10 visors, 9 air gauges, 5 bags, 4 t-shirts and 5 Sales VHS tapes. PM me. Might need to charge a little for S & H. Not sure how to upload the pics. Tryin' to figure that out now.

Hey I'm not in LA but willing to pay shipping. Please give us outliers some chance at this stuff. Pretty please????
Thank you.

I'll take a swiss army knife, an air gauge, bag, t-shirt (size?), VXo2 and VX 4.

Let me know on shipping/transport

aslo, did they mention if they will fill all orders placed this week? i have some parts i've ordered out of CA placed Wed. the 21st.

PM Sent.

I'm tallying the stuff as people PM me and make their requests. To be fair to as many people as possible, I'd like to ask that we limit to no more than 3 items. If they are small items we can do 4. PM me your address too with your full name. I'll send everything out at once after the tally is done and all items are spoken for.

PM sent.

I forgot, there are 3 notebooks and 4 hand held fans too that light up. It's pretty cool. I still haven't figured out how to post the pictures so you guys can see them. Do i have to upload them to another site?

did he offer a partridge in a pear tree??

Am glad the 'one off trucks' went somewhere that all can enjoy. Figured they might of ended up at Barrett -Jackson last weekend

PM'd you. Thanks for including us!

I'd like:
1) Tamaya model (purple if you have one!)
2) air gauge
3) Swiss army knife

My mother lives in Long Beach, if you're close enough, (she doesn't drive freeways anymore) could she just pick up the stuff (and pay you in person if you want)?

Lastly....I can only post pics in posts that I've already put IN MY GALLERY FIRST. Don't know if it's supposed to be that way, but it works. Hit "Gallery" at top....then click "Gallery links" from top, then click "Upload photos" 2nd from bottom.

Also, I could only attach pics the other day when I STARTED a thread.....so maybe I could go start a new thread right now, call it "VX Stuff -ISUZU Corp in Cerritos"...then at BOTTOM, you MUST HIT BLUE BUTTON on LEFT- "POST REPLY"

it will give you the little window on right that has smiles and and should be able to attach pics then by hitting "OPEN" in little box on right under smiles.

Maybe someone else can give better instructions.

Let me know, I'll start a new thread.

Swiss Army Knives are all spoken for now.

I will pay shipping...

If they are still available... Bag, picture frame, model and magazine.

Pretty please!!!!

That's very generous of you.

I'll take an air gauge if that cool with you? It's a given......I'll pay shipping.

Peace and Thanks.
Tom

Sent you an email - I'd like one of the models, please!

I'd like one of the notebooks please. I'm reasonably local - if you put it aside for me, I'll pick up in the next couple weeks - I'd like to meet you and see your VX while I'm at it!:bwgy:

Wow, that's pretty cool.

My corporate office is in Cerritos, I actually drive by the Isuzu HQ every time I'm up there.
And, I will be up there next week!
I sent a PM, I can pick up at your house.

Thanks,

This would be a great place for an LA based meet once you know for sure that the donated Isuzu's have been put on display!

sorry for the thread-jack.......back on topic!

PM sent...:thumbup:

I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to try to set up a private meeting for the VX club there. Also spoke with one of the designers of the o2 and he was let go last week. bummer. He's interested in a modification so he might join us.

I got most of the requests and hopefully answered most of you. I wrote all the requests down in the order it was received. Here's what's left:

5 hats (Isuzu)
12 visors Isuzu (that you wear on your head...think Volleyball)
3 tire gauges (Isuzu)
2 bags (Isuzu)
3 VHS Tapes (VX)
1 T-shirt (Isuzu)
4 models (VX - assym req'd)
1 Fan (Isuzu)
4 Mouse pads (Isuzu)
1 Umbrella (Isuzu)

Also, could I have a visor?

Email sent! I've always wanted one of those models. Some of the other stuff looks cool too! :cool:

Well that's the end of a era.


I guess all left is to say see ya isuzu. :(

E-Mail sent. Thanx so much, you're awesome!!!

Ok guys. Looks like the demand has been high and we are running low. I'm gonna ask that we put a stop to orders. I'm going to tabulate everything and confirm with each of you with the estimated S&H cost. FYI, I'll have to take into consideration the time I took off to get this all done. Was a lot more work than I thought. Will have to package everything and take it all to the post office to get weighed. Don't worry, it'll range from $5 to $30 depending on how heavy and how much stuff you asked for. If I have left overs, I'll repost. Looks like most have been spoken for. If you all could, please email me at baldwin.chiu@gmail.com if you placed an order. I'll cross check it with my list based on the PM's, forum, and emails. I had to delete a bunch of PM's so hopefully i wrote it all down right.

Awesome! You're the man! Thanks so much for doing this for all of us. The more I hang around these forums, the more I see how great this community is. It makes me feel even better for buying my VX.

Baldwin & Rickshaw meet up in Pasadena, CA

First off thanks Baldwin for offering these items to the members of this forum and thanks to the kind folks at Isuzu Headquarters for thinking of us and wanting these items to go to loyal Vehicross owners.

Fortunately I was close enough to drive to Baldwin's place and personally pickup a few items.

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...sAlexander.jpg
The James Alexander litho is extremely nice. The framed (signed and numbered) litho was suppose to go to the first 500 Vehicross's sold.
Well Litho number 477/500 now has a good home.

The "Art & Science: 1999 Isuzu VehiCROSS" Video is great. I enjoy the (hand built) manufacturing scenes.

x2...:thumbup:

Isuzu would like to clarify to us that Isuzu Motors America is not going out of business! The company will still be here, in the building in Cerritos, and will still have 230 service and parts "dealers" nationwide. People will still be able to get their parts. Only the sale of new vehicles ends this month.

Looks like I came late to the party ...

Would love a knife and/or hat

model would rock too if any are left ...

having probs with p.m. here...

spike913 at yahoo

I remember visting the site a few years ago on a business trip.. met with an associate of a friend of mine who worked there ... He gave me a walk through of the VX-2 that was sitting in the lobby at the time.

I couldnt get a good view underneath the building to see if the VX-02 was still there... he was kinda tight lipped about that anyway ..

Someone could put it on sendspace.com as a zip file and then send the link to those interested to be downloaded. It only keeps the file available for a certain amount of time. The files are limited to 300MB...not sure how big the video file is.

Some of you have already sent paypals so that's cool. This is takin' a bit more time with 20-something orders. I'm swamped with work for the next 2 weeks. Pretty much took 1 1/2 days of work off to goto Isuzu and pick up the stuff and get things divided up for everyone and will take some more time to package everything. Please be patient. Will be on a business trip next week. Will get things out asap. Can't lose my job in the economy. Thanks for understanding. LA folk, feel free to contact me to pick up your stuff at my apt if you don't wanna wait.
