I'd like to introduce to the list brand new listee, Gary Gettleman, long time friend and major troublemaker as he sold me a 300D about 17 years ago, the car that rekindled my great affection for the Brutes and over the years has cost me a big piece of my children's inheritence. Gary listened to my babbling about a C softtop in Switzerland a few years ago and I showed him the website story about the car. Next I know he is IN Switzerland buying the car from Nick Conrad and shipping it back to the States, kilometer speedo and all. The C, formerly pale yellow (Swiss cheese?) is now turquoise and one of the top 5 rags I've ever seen after a very thorough restoration. This Sunday, the Hillsborough Concourse judges awarded it the Strother MacMinn Design Award for the "most inspirational design elements for a car of it's era" Last years winner was a '53 Skylark so the judges know what they are doing and the crowd loved it. Gary is new at computers and this email stuff but he will have some questions for the group I have no doubt.
