Most of us attend multi-make car shows with our Studebakers from time to time as I did today, the Opening Day of our annual Hendricks County Indiana 4H Fair.
The Indianapolis Car Club Cluster Busters, probably one of the oldest continuously-operating car clubs in the country, sponsors a multi-make car show on the opening day of the fair, so I took the Wagonaire out to support the effort. (Click to enlarge photos):
Wile E. Coyote rode along in case any Road Runners were in attendance, but there weren't ('prolly couldn't have caught 'em with a 180 HP 259 / Flightomatic anyway...):
Meanwhile, they came around asking for donations for the 50/50 drawing, as we've all likely experienced. As usual, you could buy one ticket for $1 or six tickets for $5.
But they had a new twist: If you wanted to stuff the ballot box, for $20 they would unroll the long roll of tickets and give you the entire length of your car in 50/50 tickets...for only $20! Since each ticket was less than 2" long, that was a good deal.
I don't know how many people took them up on it, but I think this guy did...
It wasn't him that won the $138 pot, though, believe it or not. (It wasn't me, either, sorry to say...) BP
