Backfire

“I really get a charge when attending a car show with one of these oldies, especially when parked near a fully restored gem and mine gets more attention from folks who are fascinated with an original.”

excerpted from the letter by Cliff Wilson

One-third of a page? What a lousy tribute to Mr. Lido Lee Iacocca in your September issue. He had more street sense, common sense, and business sense than anyone you or I could name. If you had read any of his three books you would’ve known that! You owe the man and his family a redo.

Thank you for a very nice obituary and photo of Lee Iacocca in the September issue. He was a classy guy, a great salesman, charisma personified, and a fellow Pennsylvania native. He was a person I wish I could’ve met.

300 Club International, I enjoyed Matthew Litwin’s Car Corral feature in your August edition covering the 1970 300 Hurst. For clarification and proper identification, this later “beautiful brute” should not be referred to as 300 H, as the only 300 H is the 1962 letter car.

In a story about the ’62 letter car, we would refer to it as the 300H (no space between 300 and H). We decided to refer to the 300 Hurst edition as the 300-H to differentiate it.

In the October HMN Between the Lines, McNessor wrote: “Recently, admitted BTL reader Patrick Donahoe…” What is BTL? Since when do we employ initials with no antecedent in the story?
