No sooner did the sun start to bake the ground than, yes, that autumnal chill in the early morning air has arrived… how soon the summer flies by!
Relive those lazy, hazy, crazy days of the summer of 2018 with the September issue of Classic American, which is packed with reports of super sunny show days and showcases cars that were pounding the freeways even before the long hot summer of ’76.
In fact, a Seventies survivor is this month’s cover star… a 1973 Camaro Z28 which has quite a history. It’s brown, but don’t let that put you off… brown is the new black! Some clever headline writing (or a sheer coincidence!) means that article rejoices in the title Brown Sugar, and another Seventies offering in this issue also has a Rolling Stones hit as its heading… Emotional Rescue. That’s Albertus Viljoen’s 1973 Chrysler Valiant Charger, which was built in South Africa.
