TLS signed "Alan," one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA letterhead, October 31, 1962. Letter to Claude McCammon, Jr. of the General Motors Styling Staff, in full: "Much obliged for the photo of Bill Mitchell's latest 'Spook.' It's a lovely car. Hope its reentry is as successful as ours have been. Am enjoying driving the '63 Stingray. It is a marked improvement over previous models. My congratulations to you and the staff." In fine condition. Shepard had famously been presented with a 1962 Corvette after his return to Earth following the successful Freedom 7 flight, beginning a tradition of astronauts driving the classic cars.
