  • What famous Studebaker executive....

    ...was born January 24, 1871?

    (Hint: Dick Quinn might be old, but he's not that old..and he was never a Studebaker Corporation executive...) BP

                Thanks, Milt.

                Since wisdom comes with age, I'll interpret that to mean you took my wisdom into consideration before hazarding a guess.

                'Much appreciated. BP

                      An Indy car very similar to what Rodger Ward drove at the peak of His driving career! Aren't these old Indy Roadsters great?

                              Well, the '63' probably stands for 1963 (aren't I brilliant?)
