Went on a little road trip to look at a Studebaker Daytona, and found 2 more on the way home......
It always helps to be driving a classic car when your out looking....I went and looked at a 65 Daytona, and after I left stopped a few miles down the road to get some gas in my 55 Pontiac Star Chief. A fellow walked up and we started talking about old cars, and when I told him I was up to look at a Studebaker, he said oh you mean that one over by the intersection that you cant tell whether its coming at you, or driving away....I said, no, BUT, wheres this one at. He proceeded to give me directions and up the road I went. There it was setting right along the road with a big FSBO sign. I havent called the number yet, so I will pass along the info if Im not intrested.
Then after a quick stop for lunch, I was off again, only to have some guy in a import blowing the horn and giving the thumbs up as he passed me on the interstate....as he went by, I noticed what I thought was a Studbeaker wagon setting behind a garage out of the corner of my eye. I grabbed the next exit, and followed my way back to the garage. I located the owner and got the story on it. Its a 60 wagon, he didnt know alot about it, but said the guy that owned it parked it there 2-3 years ago, and he was recieving monthly storage payments from him to keep it there. BUT, 3 months ago the payments stopped coming. He had said he was going to contact the guy to see what the story was and he'd call me back. And if he needed to sell it due to lack of storage payments, hed give me first shot. Although he said, it wouldnt have a title unless the guy would give it to him, or I paid the fees associated with applying for a title based on a mechanics lien. He thought that since the owner was older that he may have passed on, and that he probably sat it there instead of his own home because the wife wouldnt let him have it, LOL.
Anyways I will list pics soon as I get them uploaded.
I know, Im such a tease, and I will post the info on all 3 if I decide to pass on them. But it just goes to show ya, they are still out there, you just have to look a little harder....and like I said, tooling around in a classic car helps!
hmmm, my girlfriend has 2 GT Hawks....and I feel left out, wheres my "R" model Daytona????
