Growing up in New York, which is where Heaton was born on Oct. 22, 1917, Rutigliano remembers going to Yankee Stadium during the 1950s to see the classic matchups between the Browns and New York Giants. Having such a deep appreciation for the history of the game, Rutigliano greatly enjoyed his conversations with Heaton, who had covered the likes of Paul Brown, Otto Graham, Lou Groza, Dante Lavelli and the like.

The so-called “high”cylinder head appeared as a running change during early 1917 production. Of slightly lower compression ratio, it held considerably more water which aided in cooling the engine. Accompanying this new head were longer head bolts, now 3-1/4-inches long, as compared with 2-9/16-inches before this change.

Sarah Bernhardt appears in several one-act plays at the Dauphine Theatre on January 28 and 29, 1917. It will be her last engagement in the Crescent City. She is seventy three years old and has lost a leg, restricting her repertoire. Despite her infirmities her voice was still magical and her manner charming and gracious.

After the initial production of the carryover convertible Coupelet, a new Coupelet appeared for 1917. Similar in style to the convertible model, the new one had a solid top and removable door pillars, making it one of the first “hardtops.” The top was leather-covered above the waistline, therefore looking like a convertible but with a fixed top. This model apparently saw little production; few survive, and the 1918 type appeared before the end of the year.
