          I try to drive my Hawk at least once a week, weather permitting. Today looks like it's going to be decent weather here in the PNW.

            With 12 inches of new snow I wouldn't be able to get it out of the garage.
            American iron, real old school
            With two tone paint, it sure is cool

            Its got 8 cylinders and uses them all
            With an overdrive that just won't stall

            With a 4 barrel carb and dual exhausts
            With 4.23 gears it can really get lost

            Its got safety belts and I ain't scared
            The brakes are good and the tires are fair.

            Tried to sell her, but got no taker
            I"ll just keep driving my Studebaker

                Car destroying road polluting salt puts an end to my driving for 6 months ever year.

                  I'm at work so I guess it will have to be a 994 Cat loader instead of the Studebaker .. sigh

                    Might come as a surprise to some, but salt can easily (!) be washed away with just water...

                      Drove my 64 Cruiser to work as I do every day. Glad to keep the Studebaker name visible here in SoCal.

                        In order to save the Banana Slug, or some similar slimy critter, Oregon doesn't use road salt except for a few areas around Potland. Slugs are my friend....!!!

                          It won't help much because as soon as we leave the car wash we are back on road salt, and the slop gets into every crevice on the car. It gets under bolt heads and into body seams, where it isn't easily washed away. In the 60's and 70's a person could buy lots of old cars in North and South Dakota, but in the 80's they also started dumping salt on the roads, so their cars are also rusted away now.

                              Backed the Avanti with stuck brakes into the garage, moved the Champ and got a cover over her. That's all folks.
