I recently bought a 63 R2 Avanti from the original owner. He's 85 YO now and can't see to drive anymore. He cried when I towed the car away. He asked me numerous questions about what I planned to do with it and if i would keep it awhile. It has been in his garage unstarted for 21 years so i have alot to do to get it running right again.
I just think about the pride he had when he first brought it home.
I went to buy some plugs for it and the counter guy said "Now who makes Studebaker?" I guess because I have had Studeies all my life, I just take it for granted that people know what one is. Quite a legacy this manufacturer has left!
