Special Guest Speaker – Richard Lentinello
Our Guest Speaker for Friday night is Richard Lentinello, a self-confessed car fanatic of the highest order! Among other things, Richard had a 22 year career at Hemming Motor News as Editor-in-Chief, retiring in 2020. Upon leaving Hemmings, he started his own collector-car magazine: Crankshaft. This is a high-quality, quarterly publication of 144 pages, which many consider to be a modern-day Automobile Quarterly, but with a soft cover.
Richard has also published numerous books and served as editor-in-chief of eight other car magazines.
In addition, he has judged at numerous prestigious events including The Amelia, The Elegance at Hershey and The Hilton Head Island Concours.
We’re very pleased to welcome him to the Carolina Jaguar Club Concours!
