More than likely this is a typo. Both the SAAC and ACOC newsletters I
receive monthly are filled with typos. Even the Shelby American World
Registry, which is listed in the Classic Motorbooks catalog for $60,
contains many such errors. Keep in mind that these newsletters are put
together mostly by volunteers under deadline pressure who generally
don't have anyone to proof read their work.
