FROM THE EDITORS DESK
Welcome to the October issue of The Pentashield.
This month you have a new Editor and, due to the different Computing
equipment now used to publish this magazine, you will notice a slightly
different format to that used in past issues.
I would like to commence by issuing a vote of thanks to John
Huntington for his excellent contribution to this Magazine as your
Editor during the past few years. His dedication to the principle that
every member of this Club is entitled to a comprehensive journal that
covers the interests and the passions of club members has led to the
development of one of the best Chrysler Club magazines published in
Australia. His personal contribution has included detailed
well-researched articles on the historical development of mopar engines
and the various breakthrough vehicles and models introduced by Chrysler
over the past 70 years. My special thanks John for a job well done!
Every new Editor will have a different emphasis on journal
content and style. Accordingly in forthcoming issues you will notice
some changes in content with an increased emphasis on techniques and
suggestions for the restoration of your Chrysler. Articles by Club
Members and others on their special interest in the marque will be
featured from time to time. To introduce this feature we have included
this month an article by club member Gerard Rivet on how to “Lighten up
your Mopar”.
Some style changes planned for the future include a different
magazine layout with a section devoted to discussion on selected
technical and special interest topics and reprints from magazines about
Australian mopars in the past.
In the immediate future I encourage all members to consider
contributing to this magazine – if you are worried that you do not have
the experience to write an article do not be concerned. Part of the
Editors job is to help you with the content and the words. Don’t be shy
– contribute your knowledge and see your name in print!
I also encourage all members to write to the Editor if you
have a point to make or you have a suggestion for improvement in the
journal or the way the club operates. Make your voice heard by writing
a letter to the Editor!
