Old car rescue trips are usually a fun and enjoyable trip. A good friend and I left southeast Michigan Monday 2/13 and headed southeast to southeast Pa. My Hudson/Studebaker buddy was gracious enough to volunteer his brand new Mercedes Suv for the towing duties. Really made for an easy trip. Spent most of Tuesday morning at Ernies's shop/storage location pokin, lookin and loadin.
For those who chose to pass on the 59 red 2 door wagon, you missed a near perfect project. My friend, Mark was weak in the knees and almost went into a deepened state of depression because he couldn't buy it. I'd warned him about it and he first said he didn't want to look. But I was determined to watch him suffer. The big issue for him is that he was warned before he made this trip not to bring anymore steel babies home. He did, however, succomb to the allure of a 1965 Honda 65cc motorcycle. Not only does Mark own a Studebaker and a Hudson, but has acollection of Harleys from the thirties into the seventies. One of them has it's own spot in his den. The Honda is red, so he cleverly sent a picture of to his wife as a red Valentine's day gift. She told him he could come home, but he'd be sleeping in the barn with all the rest of his 2 wheeled accumlations. Mark and his wife are fun people and we had a ball.
I thank Jim Sinclair and Bob Andrews for being the encouragement to make this venture. Most of all, "Ernie" for letting us have the car, Honda and assorted parts. We will keep him in our prayers.
