Pete, some of us are still waiting for a book; The Small Silver Speedster, that was promised last year and which is supposedly at the printers according to a Kickstart notice sent this week...we'll see...

Too bad.  Some cool looking stuff.

I have a couple of speedster/car books from Dwight.  I get the feeling he is a perfectionist in terms of his work, and maybe he has gotten overloaded with the current book (I have it on order also).

He seems to mean well, and hopefully will get caught up soon.

Keep trying to contact him, I guess.

Finally able to order a shirt. They didn't have size selection earlier.

Thanks guys. The Silver Speedster was in one of my orders. I did understand it was not completed and I would be on the list when it's published but I had a few other items which should have been shipped. I don't mind waiting if he'd at least respond and let me know what's up.

after 45 years as a businessman, I've learned that communication is everything.

that, and producing what you communicate to the customer...

I have one of his earlier books "The Little Red Race Car" or something like that, ordered for my grandson. Also have the "Silver Speedster" on order. Recently received an email that it just went to the printer. I have two of his Porsche T-shirts (not to crazy about the material). I spoke with him at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, about two years ago, nice guy, but I won't be ordering anything more from him.

Does anyone know what has happened to Bert Levy, the author of a series of books on 1950-1960 roadracing, "The Last Open Road", etc. Really enjoyed his books.

Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this business. I love his car art work but not sure if he's still in business. At the end of July, I did two orders one a day or two before the other and paid for both. I've emailed several times about my orders but have had no response.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks Robert.

Cool, Thanks Robert. I'll give that number a try.

Burt Levy is alive and well.  He sometimes attends the Watkins Glen Vintage Festival.  I talked to him a couple years ago , and bought a copy of his book, which he autographed to his ‘Intermeccanica friend’.

He’s a lot of fun to talk to, and his books are great reads.

Okay, I think it could be just coincidence or maybe Dwight looked into my orders after posting here on the SOC because today I received part of my orders with a note from Dwight that he was sorry for the delay.   Hopefully the rest will follow. Thanks Dwight and thanks again fellow SOC'ers.
