IIRC, that's right about when David E. Davis moved from
C&D to
Automobile . . . .
I loved
C&D from the late '70s to the early '90s. Lots of wit and incredible depth of knowledge. And some of the best auto photography ever; Jim Dunne's spy photos alone made subscribing worth it. For me, P. J. O'Rourke's
Sgt. Dynaflow's Last Patrol perfectly sums up why
C&D was so special. Now, not so much.
