Classic American Magazine 331 November 2018 Edição anterior

331 NovembeWelcome to the November issue of Classic American!
You’d think things would be winding down for the
magazine at this time of year; however, things are
actually busier than ever as we prepare for the Lancaster
Insurance Classic Motor Show at Birmingham’s NEC. For many
folks it’s the last event of the year before going into classic car
hibernation until the spring… whenever that may be!
Classic American will have one of the biggest stands in
the American section of the show, with all the finalists of
this year’s Footman James & Kingstown Shipping Car of
the Year competition on display. We’ll be announcing the
winner on Sunday afternoon, but of course the main point
is to put on a good front for the American car scene in this
country and hopefully spread a little Classic American love
in the greater classic car community. If you make it along
to this excellent event, make sure you stop by the Classic
American stand in Hall 5 and say hi!
The recent passing of Burt Reynolds inspired us to put
together a tribute to him in the form of his best (and
worst!) car movies and probably his most famous co-star:
The Bandit Trans Am. I have stuck my head above the
parapet in the great “to MoT or not to MoT your classic”
debate and decided that I will continue to MoT my classics.
You can read my reasons why on page 79. Happy cruising!Welcome to the November issue of Classic American!
