Brocky Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Paul, If the people working the floor the day we were there are any indication of the upper levels of management I would say they were great.. I have also heard that the majority of the items on display have been donated to the museum? Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression on the phone they were pretty good people, but wanted additional input before I give them one of their old Whites back.

Paul _Paul, Check WOT issue within last year. Big article on Coles. A New England institution and you would ever hear a negative word about the company-at least I never did.

Not only trucks but they Honor our Military as well we went there last year, great place. I am going to give them on of their White's back I think. It's history shows they were the first owner. I bought a pair of them 10 or so years ago and one had the Cole logo under a ton of paint. They are both in a container now and I'll never ever get to them. If they will restore or refurbish it enough for display it's theirs, other wise they'll sit in their "box" .Don't want to haul it 1100 miles to have it rot out side.

david wild Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Coles was a great company and had a bunch of great people, but you would expect that from mostly northern Maine people, them and Dysarts, good people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Reo COEs and conventionals, GMC Cracker boxes and 2 White COEs that were used and sold because very quickly after purchase I was told they were not good on Northern Maine winter roads.
