.............................................................................................................. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

..............................................................................................................
      I have been interested in the Excalibur automobile since my days in highschool.
      Recently I read about the Excalibur in a copy of Buyer's Guide Reports, hi the article, I noticed that a publication called The Roundtable is sent to owners and often includes a listing of Excaliburs for sale.
      My reason for writing this letter is to ask for a subscription to The Roundtable. Please bill me for the costs.
      Thank you very much.

Tom
      Thanks for informing us that we were given recognition in the Buyers Guide Reports - this came as news to Us. We are sending you a complementary copy of the last quarterly Roundtable.

1st Place Winner of Longest Distance traveled was Mrs. Louis Lombardo of Lombard,Ill. who had just arrived in time to enter the judging after having driven the Series II Phaeton from the West Coast accompanied by her poodle.
Had an award been granted for outstanding costume of the nostalgic era Mr. and Mrs. Lombardo would certainly have
been winners.

      I've been a member for a few months and enjoy your "Round Table" publication.
      I'd like to be listed as a new member in your next issue, if possible. I'd like to keep in touch with local owners.
      Thanks Jim!

      Thank you Doctor Ricci for the input and the accessory order. Publishing your letter I'm sure will get the message across that you would like to keep in touch with brother members of our Excalibur Assn. Have a nice day.

      I'd like information on your club and membership fees. I'm searching for a good Excalibur and in doing so, I'd like to become a member of your club. I'm hoping the club will provide information concerning normal problems and their solutions, body parts availability, general parts crossreferencing with info on what model GM vehicle the part is from. Most of all I'd hope to see a listing of Excalibur owners interested in selling their car.
      Thank you for your help and information.

Hi Gary,
      Thank you very much for the inquiry. We have mailed you info on our Assn. I'm sure you will see by reading our latest Roundtable edition that what you are asking for is precisely what we are attempting to do. We will be getting more and more into cross referencing of parts in future Excalibur Comer articles. Concerning the sale of used Excaliburs, we find at this point in time we have far more buyers than sellers. This however makes for a strong sustained high value investment in the ownership of an Excalibur. Sure beats buying a Detroit luxury liner for approx. $15,000 and finding out 2 years later that they're now worth about $5,000 to 7,000.

Thanks
J.K.


      I am writing in request of information concerning the musical air horns I heard at the meet in Milwaukee.
      Recently, I purchased a set of six musical air horns for Jubilee Manufacturing in Omaha, Nebraska. This set has tune discs which are placed in the compressor to play a variety of tunes. The horns are chrome-plated plastic. After spending several hours assembling the set, I dismantled it and returned it. I was very disappointed in the tonal quality of the horns. They just did not have the resonance of those that I heard in
