LETTERS TO THE EDITOR DASH Dear Dan, Congratulate David Rattiner for me on his tribute to Dash Marder. The stuff about playing Manhunt in Springs was really great and the story had a big heart. I was very impressed. Best, Terence Lane Montauk Thanks —DLR CARS Dear Dan, In last week’s “Classic Car” column, Robert Gelber cites that when a Ferrari Lusso was two years old (that would have been in 1966) he paid all of $4,200.00 to get one. He goes on to say that today that same car would cost someone “$500,000.” I make my living brokering high-end collectible automobiles (mainly Ferraris) and I can tell Mr. Gelber that $500,000 may be a sufficient sum for the purchase of that half of the car without the engine. It would be nearly impossible to find a Lusso today that costs less than around $1.1 million. A couple of them I know about, which are currently being restored, will have finished prices of $1.3 million and $1.4 million—if purchased well prior
to the completion of their restorations. Nicholas Saridakis Hampton Bays

Could you get a side view mirror for $100,000? —DR The dawgs have spoken. —DR DAWG Dear Dan, I am puzzled by Friday’s dog leash hearing in which nobody spoke in favor of the new ordinance yet the Village seems set on approving it. The only stated reason by Village officials has been the effect of dogs on picnickers. The problem is that picnickers for years have been flagrantly violating village codes 211-15, which prohibit open containers of alcohol. Everybody has turned a blind eye to the alcohol ban as there has been a joyous live-and-let-live attitude on the beach as long as nobody gets hurt. However if the Village decides to disrupt the status quo by singling out enforcement against one group at the behest of another group, that is already flagrantly violating the law, then there will be considerable trouble this summer. The Village will be forced into enforcing the alcohol ban and you can probably imagine the trouble and costs that will ensue once the Village has to put an
STILL Dear Dan, Love your paper, and at almost 82 years old, I do get laughs on you now and then. Your story on the Railroad Pickle Works (Calverton Fire Department). They never had one and still don’t to this day. My mother came to Manorville in 1907 at seven years old. Also my 92-year-old sister had a car wreck into a train at that crossing, train stopped, took her on board and dropped her off at Manorville Station as her car was wrecked. I like your stories Dan, keep it up. Elsie H. Brown Manorville Glad you’ve enjoyed the paper all these years. —DR Email your letters to askdan@danspapers.com
