  • Special Invitation

    Last Friday we were at Chubbys Friday night Car show. This Guy comes up to me and asks it thats my Studebaker. We had the 1957 GoldenHawk there it was car of the week also next to it was our 1957 SilverHawk. Well he had this special Party coming up tonight the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was doing a Fund Raiser at this 3.5 million dollar Home. He was looking for 12 Cars to put on one of the garages for a car Show to go with the silent auctions and numerous other things that they had going. All the people there which there was from 250 to 300 people there got to vote for their favorite car.
    There were two 1958 Chevy's, a 1951 Kaiser Traveler, a 1959 Impala,1956 Gmc Pick up,1956 Chevy, 1955 Chevy,and a 1957 GoldenHawk. I took the book with me that shows what it looked like before and after plus we have a Model just like our Studebaker. Well I told everyone that would listen that there was a 1951 Kaiser , a 1956 Gmc Pickup, and a 1957 GoldenHawk all the rest were Chevys. I also showed them the before and after pictures of the Hawk. Well the Gmc won second place, the 58 Chevy light Blue won 3rd place and the 1957 GoldenHawk won 1st Place, by two votes you were allowed to vote for your own and they encouraged us to. The Chevy guys said that I bought the votes well I just promoted Studebakers like I always do. It was so much fun. I took lots of pictures of this house it sure was a Dream house. I'm pretty sure Stude Blue marked his territory. There were 8 bathrooms in the main house, it had a Theater bar Butlers suite, library. It also has a two bedroom 1 bathe guest house and another Cabana the pool had two waterfalls. Big screen tv's in every room. Wow.They fed us and free beer wine and Mezcal. It was a Great time.

    What? We have to have Chamber of Commerce's for each Ethnic Group now? [:0] I think I'll start one for Studebaker People!

    So basically you did NOT buy the votes at all, as accused, you just cheated? [}] [)] Lol, I love it!

          Anne, be careful you might get use to houses like that when you hang around them and wind prizes.

          Great job of pushing the Studebaker cause.

          How could those Chevy guys question a vote for your Stude over what little competition they brought to the table?

                That house was amazing it is for sale the owner builder was there so was the Realtor. No Furniture in the house but big Flat Screen TV's in every room. I guess people paid big Bucks to come to this Fund Raiser. It was free to us. The Chevy guy that was with our group was crying foul because of my contact and interaction with the voters. Herb who owns the Kaiser told him that I was doing a fine job its why I'm such a good President of the Local Club. That it is my job to Promote Studebakers plus I have alot of fun doing it.

                      Ok so we were at our Monthly Studebakers meeting. I told the group all about the Special Invitation Car Show. Well it turns out the 1955 Chevy owner was more tee'd off than I originally thought. He went to the guy putting the Car show on wanted to know just what place he was in . 7 out of eight places well he thinks really highly of his car and to come out second from the last beaten by a Studebaker was more than he could take. Now I heard this from a very reliable source that got such a kick out of this guys reactions. Heck he had his car entered he was 4th place and he voted for the GoldenHawk. Just thought that I would share . When I see him at a Friday night Car Show its gonna be hard not to chuckle.
