That's a name I concocted for SI's new annex, which contains all the SASCO stuff. It's definitely not SASCO, but didn't seem accurate to call it SI, so that's the best I could come up with on short notice[:I]
Had a great time in SB! But most of my pictures are the same as others have posted. But I wanted to share the pictures from this amazing new facility[:0][8D]
First let me say that it is beyond what my mind can comprehend- still. I have no idea how Ed and crew pulled this off! Words and pictures cannot convey the magnitude of what has been done, but it will give you a taste of it. I asked Ed, what ever will become of the sheet metal with no water running in or snow drifting over it???
The place is amazingly organized and CLEAN- no filth, scum, or mouse turds to be found!
The tour was fantastic, with super-guide Tom Molnar. If in the future you go, I'm sure it will be sans Tom- Disney, San Fran Tours, or the Grand Canyon management will certainly be hiring him away immediately. Really! Great job by Tom[8D]
On a serious/sincere note- Infinite thanks to Ed and Heidi Reynolds for literally accomplishing the impossible. I can only imagine the sacrifice they have given to make this all happen, for the benefit of the Club and the entire marque. We all know what they have meant to the Stude world for so long, but this is beyond anything- it is honestly a true monument to them that will be remembered long after they- and all of us- are gone. I barely know the Reynolds', and don't owe them a thing- this is not a suck-up- simply credit where it's due!
And let me say this- having seen not only the staggering product line they have developed and offer through Studebaker International, but what they have accomplished here: If a CASO ever wants to grumble about any of their prices in the future, do not bother looking for a sympathetic ear from me! I'll be too busy thinking about row upon row upon row of parts that will not sell out in 50 years, yet were saved and will be costing rental space in case one of our yet-unconceived great-grandchildren need it for their Studebaker. Ask the AMC guys what that would mean to them. I frankly have no idea how they can make this work from a business standpoint, but if anyone can they can! Nothing but the best of luck and prosperity to SI- and long live Studebakers[^]
