Does anyone know of a web site for this periodical? I'd like to read what
was said. I don't know why I still love these cars, but I do. I haven't owned
one in a long time, (although I'm still looking for a cheap local one to buy),
but I'm still enjoy all aspects of this subject matter. I also always check out
the web sites mentioned in here. Personal sites, and commercial....
All I can say is.....keep up the great work.....I'll be joining the "Owners"
group again someday...
