A WORD FROM MCKEEL


SUMMER AT LAST


American philosopher Sam Keen said that “deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.” While car people are rarely lazy, summer is the time when activities that don’t exactly affect lives, livelihoods and world peace get some elevated respectability. It may have something to do with the fact that it’s the only time of the year when those of us without heated garages can do things like hang out in said garage until two in the morning and share good times with friends while scraping old undercoating off the bottom of the Chevelle or F100.


As I’ve mentioned before in this column, we’re going to be rich in significant anniversaries over the next couple of years. In the Spring issue, we looked at some of the best from the American Class of ’63. This issue, we take an in-depth look at a blockbuster car from Germany, the immortal Porsche 911, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. And we go back a decade fur- ther by pairing two cars that made their debut in 1953 — the Chevrolet Cor- vette and the Austin-Healey 100, two variations on the same theme.


Executive Editor Jonathan A. Stein continues his fascinating look at the psychology of car collecting in “Caution to the Wind,” where he shines a light on four ordinary car guys who had the foresight to beg, borrow and find enough change between the cushions in order to buy cars that turned out to be very special indeed.


Finally, we decided it was time to feature a classic American wagon in an experiential story, so we put Hagerty employee Dan Beutler, his wife and two daughters in a ’71 Olds Vista Cruiser and sent them on a classic summer vacation. Could two 21st century teenage girls armed with old- fashioned car games and an AM radio survive a week in the Olds without iPods? We’re happy to report that they could — and did — and maybe became old car converts in the process.
