Here is an email rec'd from David L. on the Dec. issue:

I really enjoyed reading your CCC about "space and organization." Those of us who live in condo apartments with a single indoor parking space and restrictive rules about car maintenance on condo property envy your amount of car barn room. If I want to do any car tinkering I have to use a city parking lot directly next door to us. As you can appreciate personal maintenance on the car is limited to about 6 months of the year due to weather. Maintenance is further limited by the lack of necessary amenities sich as a lift. There's only so much that can be done on a level outdoor public parking lot.

My storage space is also limited to a 5' x 9' closet in the basement, which must house other stored items besides car materials. That was one reason I built hidden storage compartments in the trunk of the Starfire. Practically all routine maintenance is done at commercial garages through necessity. How I long for a garage such as yours. When it comes to car maintenance condo living is not all it's cracked up to be.

I also enjoyed reading the rest of your article on "Automobilia," tracing the VIN number of post 1980 GM cars and the brief history of orphan cars.

Good article.

Here's a video about designer Harley Earl that you might enjoy. Love that '51 Buick LeSabre concept and late '40s to early '60s fin styling on the Cadillacs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ7_ec7OfNU
