There [are slated to be] TWO articles on Pagoda restorations in the Jan-Feb 2021 issue of [MBCA] The Star. I don't know whose cars they are, or if they are members or not...
In the mail by end of December, in your mailbox first week of January.

The January-February issue of The Star Magazine of the MBCA has been printed and mailed; member can expect your copy in the next 5-10 days depending on your local mail service.

The cover article (see cover shot) is about a 1966 230SL owned and restored by Neil Andrew in honor of his father, Gary Andrew. This car is in Alabama. Neil Andrew is a member here.

The second article is about a 280SL owned by Reza Mashhour and his sons Steve and David. Curiously, and in a break from tradition at The Star, the owner(s) nor the author seems to be a member of the MBCA. The car and the owners are in Nevada. They are not members here.
