[Healeys] Healey Tidbit

[Freese, Ken]

 That would be around the time Sardi was selling his 100S to go slower
with a 100-6. He didn't keep it too long!

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.".
