I WAS SURPRISED and delighted to see David Conwill’s article on the 1915 Scripps-Booth Vitesse speedster in the October issue. I knew that I had seen the car before when I had a chance to visit Frank Kleptz’s wonderful collection with the Indiana region of the Classic Car Club of America quite a few years ago. The car was under restoration when I saw it. It is very rewarding to see that it is finished and being enjoyed by its current owner.

for your hard work in putting out a superb publication. I have every issue, from number one to current, saved in sleeves. The November article on the 1964 W200 Crew Cab caught my eye, as this is very similar to the vehicle I drove on active duty as a USAF military dog handler LEO at Langley AFB in Virginia. WhileK9 “Jack,” a most protective partner. As basic as that truck was it served Jack and me well during our service there. Despite the tough handling by young airmen, it never let us down. Mitch, the owner of the featured Dodge, is fortunate. I’d love to have one in my driveway now.
