What are some of the most comical experiences you’ve had involving stereotyping (to you or someone else). This one may get out of hand, so I’m braced for the absolute worst!

Jake Robinson Kaywell: Shoo-wops and doo-wops galore to the background of some fine Studes. I'm eager and ready to go!
1962 GT Hawk - "Daisy-Mae" - she came dressed to kill in etherial green with a charming turquoise inside. I'm hopelessly in love! -
I don't know about comedy but that's what my Dad did at the local newspaper. So I guess he was pretty good at it.

Not trying to dump on you, Jake. These type of posts generally don't get a lot of responses in Stove Huggers but FYI a stereotyper is someone that make the metal plates that go on the press to print the newspaper. Newer technology has supplanted the metal plates but that's what my father did for a living many moons back. Bad choice at comedy by me.Originally posted by Stude Shoo-wop! View Post
IAC, welcome to the forum and an old guys attempt at humor. Glad you are here to drop the average age and love Studebakers also.

Old guy- old enough to know better-at a car show told me my car (silver '63 Gran Turismo) was "exactly like the one in Clint Eastwood's movie, except his was black..." Clint's F*rd Gran Torino was actually green in the movie IIRC..... Some youn'uns have told me my 289 motor is made by F*rd.....Comment

"Wow! That's a neat old Studey. It must be worth a fortune."American iron, real old school
With two tone paint, it sure is cool
Its got 8 cylinders and uses them all
With an overdrive that just won't stall
With a 4 barrel carb and dual exhausts
With 4.23 gears it can really get lost
Its got safety belts and I ain't scared
The brakes are good and the tires are fair.
Tried to sell her, but got no taker
I"ll just keep driving my StudebakerComment

Sometimes having Citroen DS & ID in the fambly you ever so often hear folk saying "That's one of those that goes up and down, right!"...
Or what ever old car I'm driving I'll hear that they had one in the past or knew someone who had.Comment

This happened to me on several occasions. I thought seriously about a bumper sticker reading: "This is NOT a Gran Torino!".Originally posted by 63 R2 Hawk View PostsigpicComment

There was a Clint Eastwood movie where he smashed into the rear of a black GT hawk with his Chevy.Comment

I put a bumper sticker, available from SI, on the rear bumper of every Stude: KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL, DRIVE A STUDEBAKERComment

Bob, I think the one you are thinking of was Steve McQueen's last movie "The Hunter". He drove an old Chev and pretended he couldn't manually shift gears. Yeh, Steve McQueen, sure.

Jake,
Thanks for joining us on our race to the finish line. I hope that you will be at the finish line to pick up the baton.
Show me someone who is ready to refute ALL stereotyping, and I'll show you someone not old enough to have gained perspective, or smart enough to have learned from experience.-BillComment
