Kendallville Auto Parts is a locally owned auto parts store on the corner of Main Street and Mitchell Street in the small town of Kendallville, Indiana.

This is the kind of locally-owned auto parts store I remember my father taking me to when I was a child, before the big chains like AutoZone came to Indiana. It seemed like all of them had beat-up old metal counters, and rows of fan belts hanging along the tops of the walls. Like Kendallville Auto Parts, the old stores didn't have computers to look up parts; they had big racks on the counter that held catalogs that the salesmen would pore over to find the right part numbers.

The owner told me that his father opened the store in 1972. He said they have so much old stuff in stock that the second floor is also full of car parts.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Unframed prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print and to allow it to cure for several days before I package it to ship. Framed prints usually take about two weeks, because my framer usually requires about a week to complete his work.

Please Note: In late 2024, I was forced to dramatically increase the prices for framed prints. This reflects the actual cost of framing them. I make no profit from the additional charge for framing; I charge you what the framer charges me, and every framer that I know has had to ramp up prices due to inflation in recent years. I earn my living selling my photographs, and offer the framing at cost because many people prefer to buy a print that is framed and ready to display.

Thank you for supporting my work.
