I am a person who is happiest when I have a plan and a goal. I am also a person who has limited mechanical skill and a limited pocket book.
Therefore, I have made a decision: that my time with Miss Rose, the 1963 Lark Regal, is going to be limited because I love the car, and can not do for it as I wish that I could. So, that means that I will have to sell her at some point in the near future - 2011 or 2012 (I do want a season with the car which I bought last fall), and would like to sell her to someone who can love her as I do and has the expertise to get her back to tip top shape. Right now I would say that she is a daily driver for a warmer climate. She will need some Stude tin worm repair to the lower doors and a paint job up top. Mechanically she's not bad and always starts right up.
The other side of the coin is that I have also decided that when I do find her a new home, I want to buy a 1959-1966 Studebaker station wagon - OR - 1963-1965 Daytona or Cruiser that is in fairly good condition, and close to stock (no rods or custimzations - just not my style) as I can find.
So what I am asking is - if there is anyone out there planning finding a new home for your Studebakers in the coming years - or know of someone in the same boat - let me know or at least keep me in mind. I can promise love it, take car of it and keep it safe and spread the Studebaker gospel.
