The last page of many issues was titled PS and had a large car-related black and white photo. Some time in the early 70s I was amused to see in such a photo a subject that I had seen in person many times. During the late sixties I was taking evening classes at U. of Pa. in Philadelphia, and I often parked on the same block as a Porsche Speedster in black primer.

The Road and Track photo showed a three-quarter view of the same Speedster and an inset close-up of the message. I would love to see that page again, or even to know exactly what issue it was in so I could pursue a copy.
