Human Error Hi Tom,
and hope to run into you again while in York this year at the East Coast Nationals in my ‘37 Ford. Vince LoPresti Via e-mail Vince, They tell me AI will eliminate human error, problem is, I’ve never liked “milk toast.”—ED Historic Replica Bill Tom, I last wrote to you 10 years ago as I had been working on an Ohio House Bill that addressed titling kit cars or swap meet- sourced parts builds.

You’ll often notice a lot of ‘30s movies with the old cars, the lines in the road are yellow where they should be white. Maybe I’m too critical, but that makes it even more fun to point these things out. I always enjoy your articles
