[Healeys] Healey Tidbit

[Leonard Hartnett]

Always on the lookout for obscure mention of Healeys, the following appeared
in the August 27, 2007, issue of AutoWeek magazine. The article notes the 50
year anniversary of the Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving and Chowder Society
(Chowderheads) at Sardi's restaurant in Manhattan. According to the article,
Sardi, a sports-car racer, volunteered a luncheon venue in 1957 for a group of
car aficioados who had been meeting at Le Chanteclair, the New York restaurant
owned by French racing great Rene Dreyfus when the group got too large to be
accomodated.

.  People quoted are: Ernst Lieb, president and CEO of Mercedes Benz USA and
Bruce Wennerstrom, co-chair of the organization and the Greenwhich Concours
d'Elegance.

".During the anniversary gathering, Lieb reprised 50 years of Mercedes' U.S.
history, while Wennerstrom reviewed 50 years of hilarious camaraderie. Sardi's
helmet and a portrait of his Healey were close at hand.".
