Warm weather is here, all the salt is off the roads, and more of us are thinking about hitting the open road in our Studebakers. Some of us have cars that are highway veterans with many long trips under their belts. Others might not have left their home towns for decades.
Twice now I made a long trip without prepping the Stude or carrying emergency supplies. Once I made it home just fine. Once I had to rely on the kindness of the club members to get moving after a breakdown.
Here's my request: Could some of you who travel with your Studes avise us who WANT to travel with them, what should we check on the car before starting out, what spare parts should be carried, and what tools?
Thanks in advance to all who give their advice! I've already learned alot from prior posts![8D]

Studebakers were made to drive! (Besides, they don't get lost as easy in the Wal-Mart parking lot!)
