That Sept 96 article on the '58
Fury is what caused me to stop reading Cars & Parts. I actually have
been published by them 6 times, with junkyards I have found and taken pictures
of. That article was so full of errors and inaccuracies it was
ridiculous. I talked to Bob Stevens, editor at the time, and was told they
felt obligated to do some story on a Forward Look Mopar, as they had received
many requests.
So they threw this story
together, not bothering to check their facts. Very poor article, and it
looks authoritative, to make matters worse. Notice that all the cars they
rebuild and award as prizes are '57 Chevs or Mustangs, etc. .. .
I used to really enjoy this mag
as they do have lots of good resto tips, but the people in charge of the Mag are
most certainly not interested in Mopars, especially Forward Lookers. . .

Subject: [FWDLK] Cars and Parts mags
available
I
have a couple of Cars and Parts mags available, which may be of interest
to
some of you:
Sept 96 which has a 5 page article on the 1958 Fury
complete with a
Specifications chart. Also the 1996 Great Race, 1934
Pierce-Arrow, and more.
Oct 97 which has a 5 page article on Richard
Carpenter's 1960 300F
Convertible, complete with a specification chart.
This issue also has an
article on Jay Leno's 1938 Brough Superior
motorcycle, along with a 6 page
article on a 1957 Bel Air
Convertible.
$5.50 each, including postage to the first one who asks,
or $10 for both,
including postage.
I also have a Microfiche Reader
for $50. plus shipping. This is what they
had on the parts counter to read
the sheets of parts film. No film, but it's
out there.
Thanks, I
gotta get rid of some of this
stuff.......
