I've been to the store at North St., location of GMC. It has been completely remodeled and now houses the merchandise store. It's nice but kind of a bummer as I really liked to old look it once had...creaky floors, parts everywhere, etc. But time moves on, I suppose.

Hopefully GMC will spring back. I miss not being able to stop in for spare parts!

That’s the best news I’ve heard today.
Really liked using them for some parts.

It seems that GMC is reopened at North St, the merch store has moved back to the factory and museum.

It looked like they are still moving in parts but have a small selection now and should be getting their online operation back shortly. Hours are on the Martin website but the company is on shutdown until Jan. 4th for the holidays.

Sooo, got a phone number that works for GMC?
All I get is the main Martin number, with no options for GMC.
The other number I had just gives a busy signal all day.
Wanting to order a few things....
