We get a lot of mail here asking,' How do you get your car into a magazine?" Generally we resist the urge to ask for fifty bucks in a plain brown envelope and instead just tell it like it is. The fact is that it comes down to being in the right place at the right time with the right car. The term "right car" doesn't mean you have to have some sort of big-dollar show car that looks like it just rolled off the Concourse at Pebble Beach. What it does mean is that it has to be cool in one way or another. Maybe it's a nut and bolt work of automotive art or it could just be a cool boulevard cruiser that has the right look. Maybe it is flogged around the local racetrack, and even the rock chips carry a mystique of coolness because they were earned while doing a buck-fifteen down the straight at Willow Springs. Martin Pond's '71 Torino GT falls into the last category.
