[…] presentations were going to be top notch. Once again, there are few conferences that match the food offered at the conference. Most important, of course, are the people who attend, ranging across the spectrum of the world of automotive history. We hope that in April 2021, YOU are among them.Other Things The Society of Automotive Historians in Britain (SAHB) has reached an important milestone: The publication of SAHB Times has now reached issue 100. An always fascinating publication, it is a journal that invites not only reading from cover to cover when it arrives, but many re-readings as you realize that something you are reading at the moment triggers the memory of something that you remember from another issue of SAHB Times. My best wishes to the SAHB and for the many more years of the SAHB Times that are before us.

Of the dozens of entries, only six competed in the contest, the Duryea of Frank Duryea eventu- ally emerging as the victor. As someone with a lifelong fascination with the city of New York, its history and espe- cially its architecture, I must say that I was more than a tad embarrassed to realize that several photographs that I thought I was quite familiar with contained an element that I somehow managed to overlook, de- spite knowing better! How I ever managed to overlook the Hansom cabs appearing in […]
