(December 29, 2022) It was, as recalled by memory and verified by Wikipedia, in the spring of 1967 that the New York-based Car and Driver magazine ran the Meyers Manx on its cover. And if you excuse the mag for being late to the game (production of the Manx began in 1964 — but "surf’s up" will never resonate in Manhattan like it resonates in Manhattan Beach), the cover confirmed what many readers and enthusiasts — even this then-teenager in Nebraska, for gawdsake — already knew: the Bruce Meyers creation represented a sea change in how we considered the recreational vehicle.
