SMILING THROUGH THE DECADES

As the “touring season” approaches it is fun to recall events from years gone by and all the smiles and laughs and warm feelings that went with them.  It also makes me think of this photo that I have posted next to my desk here at HEALEY MARQUE World Headquarters.

The primary figures in the photo are Roger Menadue (white coveralls) and Geoff Healey, and the scene is Le Mans in 1953.  Despite the stress and sheer length of the race, they look quite happy about it all, as do the other three smiling characters in the Austin-Healey pit.

Please join me in making it a goal to duplicate that spirit and make more smiles across the decades, thanks to our common bond in a great car.
