Richard Lentinello is the Founder and Editor in Chief of Crankshaft, a 144-page, high-quality, quarterly publication that many consider to be the modern-day Automobile Quarterly, but with a soft cover. His mantra is Fascinating Automobiles That Will Blow Your Mind. Richard was the former Editor-in-Chief at Hemmings Motor News. Educated at Pratt Institute, where his studies took him to the field of interior architecture, his publishing career began back in 1987 when he founded Carrozzeria, a magazine dedicated to coach building. He was appointed editor of a succession of car magazines whose titles included High Performance Pontiac, Muscle Cars, and Vette. Richard has published several automotive books and he has judged at many prestigious concours events. When not at work with Crankshaft he can be found in his garage where he’s restoring his 1960 Triumph TR3A.

I will pass the word. My brother has entered his 64 Nova at the Hagley Museum in Delaware. A great venue. It is 9/24. On lhe grounds of the duPont Mills where gun powder was refined.
