Thanks John.
The journal is huge this time. Marc Star’s massive unorganized collection took most of my attention. Good luck Marc in packing it up. Zippo car lighters were new to me. That Savoy car museum looks worth a visit. Finally, there is real concern noted in the journal about the tariff effects on our hobby.
Even here in Canada, a e-mail to me from the USA Corgi Model Club indicates model car tariff costs are spreading beyond USA boundaries.

Vitesse planned a Zippo car, but it never materialized. The Savoy museum displays at the Chattanooga Motorcar festival and last year they brought that Ferrari 375 monoposto.

The Savoy is not too far from me - will have to plan a trip there! Thanks, John.

Really enjoyed the reprint of Dave Sinclair’s letter. A real snapshot in time!
