I JUST READ THE LATEST HCC; I CAN’T wait for each glossy issue to appear in the mailbox. Loved the story of the restored 1958 Pontiac Star Chief (“The Star Chief That Shouldn’t Be,” HCC #212). Kudos to owner David for the painstaking and expensive restoration, especially evident comparing the as-bought photo to the as-restored car in gold and white—it was just beautiful. I also enjoyed the stories on the 1961 Buick Skylark and the forgotten AMC cars.
I read the story on the original 1970-era Honda Civic. My dad owned three Honda motorcycles in the 1960s, and they were well-built machines, so we were not surprised to see Honda and other Japanese manufacturers enter the American car market. Not to mislead younger readers who have seen some great Honda products in the past 30 years, but you have to be amazed that Honda Automotive survived that early Civic entry into the American automobile
