Cool beans, Pat. We're anticipating a thorough report. BP

We had a great turn out, nine Studebakers joined by 3 VWs, 2 Mustangs, a Camaro, 57 Chevy and a Ford. Weather was great, lots of chances to talk about Studebakers with people who never heard of them. I am growing tired of people thinking my car is a Thunderbird though, and our GT Hawk owners got a lot of "There is a Grand Torino, like in the movie."
Here are some pics:
The Weather was perfect 82 degrees, deep fried food was plentiful, including maggots, there were lots of gadgets and animals to see, and the people watching was spectacular. All in all a great day.Last edited by Pat Dilling; 07-17-2011, 06:22 AM.Pat Dilling

What a fine showing of our cars! I personally would like to get ahold of a couple of those "Village Studebaker" license frames. I worked for the owner, Bob Kershaw in the early 80's, years after he had closed his Studebaker dealership but had 8 body shops, plus a leasing company, Village Marine that did final assembly to yachts (60 + feet) that were made in Asia. He would then finish them here in Marina Del Rey, installing custom interiors, teak, ect & then sell them. He also made reverse osmosis water purifiers that was purchased by the U.S., Egyiptian, & Israeli navies in addition to an installation on Catalina Island that enabled the construction of a few hundred condo's on the island, providing additional needed fresh water. Interesting man to say the least!59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!

So that's what shiny Studebakers look like. I didn't know they came that way."Madness...is the exception in individuals, but the rule in groups" - Nietzsche.Comment
