It was, to me, written for those that drank their tea with a pinkie finger in the air, and smoked high dollar cigars while discussing the nuances of the cognac they were drinking. When I got the first issue of Automobile, I realized that the magazine was not written for the average car guy. There was an entertaining article by Davis, about the fact that he was driving home one night with a friend in his Mercedes 300 TD wagon when they ran into a couch sitting in the middle of the road, and his complaint that the headlights required by the US DOT were woefully inadequate for driving at night, and the article was based on doing a European headlight conversion. My favorite by her was when she entered the "Tough Nuts" demo derby and won and wrote an entertaining article about it at C&D. Davis was a Euro snob upper crust old crock, but there was also Jean Lindamood (noe Jennings) who was a great writer at C&D. I was excited about it because I was a big C&D fan (started reading it in 1973) and yes I knew David E.
