So sorry to see this. I met Mr. Smith several years ago at his building here in Lovingston, VA. There is a trailer parked there now from the Saratoga automobile museum. I was driving by and he was loading or unloading a vehicle. I am a muscle car guy and stopped to chat. He was very gracious and invited me inside to see what he had. Incredible! While everything in there predated the muscle car era by several decades, it was obvious that the vehicles were high quality and very valuable. Wish I had taken some photos. I told Mr. Smith that I was seeking a painter for a matching numbers 1970 Z28. He said that someone in Roanoke was working on a car and to call him in a month or so to see how that came out. I never made the call and certainly regret that. Mr. Smith told me that when he was young he wanted to become an attorney, but instead became an Automobilist as stated on his business card. When I was young I wanted to become an Automobilist, but became an attorney. From reading these comments I think he would have excelled at anything he chose to do.
