I, too, was much influenced by Kent. At the Oakland Roadster Show in the middle 80's, there were two cars as a stand alone display. Ebony and Ivory. One was Kents black C or D and the other was Buz Edies white 300 F. I kept coming back and back to gaze on those cars and intimately bought and enjoyed both years although different colors. I hosted a picnic for all Bay Area 300 owners at a local park in the 90's and Kent was there. What a Guy!
