I hope this patina-related question may jog someone's memory about an item from 50 years ago in Road and Track magazine. 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. It had, taped to one of the side curtains, a message to the effect that "This is not an abandoned car. It is a properly licensed and registered Porsche 356 Speedster, legally parked ...".

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.

Anyone old and yet young enough to remember this, and have any leads for me?

I have a mostly complete R&T collection going back to the 1950's.  I'll research to see if I have that issue.
