Years ago, my fading memory, recalls meeting Chuck a couple of times. When I say "fading memory," honestly, I can't recall our conversations, but here's a couple of thoughts. He was very gracious to this hillbilly with a southern drawl. My other memory is that he was "bigger than life." It was not easy to have much conversation with him because everyone was clamoring for his attention. We have lost another "LEGEND" of our Studebaker family. Somehow, when it comes to my impression of Chuck Naugle, in the background, I hear the tune of a song made famous by Frank Sinatra..."MY WAY."John Clary

This is a great loss to the Studebaker world and to the World in general. I knew Chuck for many decades. Our "thing" was to go out for ice cream each time that we met.Gary L.

I don't even remember when I first met Chuck, but it was a long time ago. Back when he used to drive Earl all the way from Arizona to York with a load of sheet metal and such, he always stopped at my booth and picked out a few things. One year (late '80s as I remember), he walked in and handed me cash for the '63 Daytona Skytop I had for sale in the lot. He loaded it on Earl, took a couple quarts of oil that I had left in the car, poured one in Earl's engine and left for Arizona. Some years later I had found a NOS set of the late wire wheel covers, but I didn't have any clips and I couldn't find a part number for them. Chuck sent me as many as he could spare. That was the last time I spoke to him.
I sure regret never being able to visit his Arizona domain.Paul Johnson, Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.
