Looking at this month’s magazine I’m struck at the sheer diversity of content… There’s everything from a pre-war (in American terms – they didn’t enter the Second World War until 1941) flatbed truck, to a Seventies boat of a Mustang, to brand-new Corvettes racing at Le Mans. We’re celebrating the achievements of Shirley Muldowney, America’s legendary female drag racing star and enjoying the VHRA’s annual shindig down at Pendine Sands.
Add to this a couple of movie cars from the Fast & Furious franchise and some straight-up Forties and Fifties favourites in the shape of a 1949 Packard and a 1957 Oldsmobile… I think you could say this issue is a veritable cornucopia of American automotive goodness! As always, we’re continually looking to improve Classic American in terms of content and what you’d like to read about in the title, so if you have any
suggestions, observations or even grievances, don’t hesitate to get in touch – we want to create a magazine that you enjoy reading.
