ON THE COVER. The Peter Brock-

designed Shelby DeTomaso P70 is one

of the most beautiful cars we have ever

seen.When we caught wind that owner

Mark Moshayedi would have the

freshly restored car at the 2016 Amelia

Island Concours we had to be there to

see it. Peter Brock was also there,

walking around clucking like the

proud rooster he had every right to be.

We took plenty of pictures and we in-

vited several other SAAC members

who were attending the event to take

some pictures that would fit our verti-

cal format requirement. We hadn’t

planned on a “cover contest” but that’s

what happened. They were all worthy

but we could only use one, so we just

covered our eyes and chose.
