(For what it's worth, it appears to be a Grand Prix from the early 80's.)
That's actually a pretty cool service for someone who was going to keep and use the frame. but if it's too small, and you're going to trade or sell it, you should definitely pass that email to the next owner. I know I'd love to that info!
