Just When You Think You've Heard Everything

[paintim613]

Our custom has been called a Thunderbird, a Lincoln, a Hawk, a Johnny Cash car to name a few. But the topper was last weekend when it was called a Corvette. My wife immediately said that it was exciting to know that we probably had the only Corvette with a Continental kit in the world.

I've heard Tbird, Cadillac, Rambler, Jaguar...they just keep coming. It's usually the wino on the sidewalk that get's it right.

I was asked if my Studebaker was made by Ford. I answered, with a straight face, "yes; Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Studebaker. Just like in the commercials." LOL

I stopped in a little BURG in S.C. for lunch last week and a lady walked in and told her husband that a 52 Studebaker was on a trailer and he doubted her and had to look for himself, I told him she was correct before he went to all the trouble, We had a good CAR TALK but I was surprised that SHE was so informed. You never know.

Our '50 Starlight coupe gets a lot of looks and comments.
When they look under the hood and see an S10 V6 engine and running gear.....They say....What Dat??
I tell them that this be a "Studeblazer"..................

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked if my '59 Lark is a Rambler. It points out a very important point. We have to keep our cars in the public's eye to educate them about Studebaker. Most young people have never heard of Studebaker.

My '65 Cruiser has been called a Rambler, Mercedes, Valiant, and Nova. My Champ has been called a Dodge and a Rambler ("Nice truck, but I did not know Rambler made trucks")!

It seems the most common mistake for Larks is that they are called Ramblers. I wonder if Rambler owners have their cars called Studebakers?

That is one funny line. LOL

You know Dave, you are right. The panhandlers usually get it correct. One did ask the other day, what it was, because the top looked like a t-bird, but the rest didn't. Knew his stuff.
