The Cade Museum here in Gainesville isn’t having its grand opening until May, but they’re having an event there tomorrow and the staff wants a half-dozen of the family’s Studes on display.. Specifically the ‘31 President. Part of the “appeal” is the opportunity to ride in the rumble seat if one wants to.
While the car hasn’t left the shop in a number of years, this past week was devoted to getting it road worthy again. This morning I was given the honor of driving it the half hour ride from the shop to the new museum. With the big straight 8 and a later T86 Overdrive transmission, it’ll go faster than I wanted to go. I’ve had the opportunity to drive a lot of cool cars, but it might be down hill from here. I still can’t seem to wipe the grin off of my face.
