A funny Studebaker Story that I was told today. Well I went over to the Senior Citizens Village on Chestnut today I was in Mabel the 1949 Studebaker. The reason that I went there is I was looking for 50 Year old Cedar trees they produce a pine cone that looks like a Wood Rose. Well this older gentleman was watching me and he was waiting for me to walk across the street because he had a Studebaker Story to tell. He asked what year I said 1949 he said he had a 1947 Studebaker 4 door back in the middle Fifties.
He said he lived in Easton at the time and that he was employed to move the irrigation pipes every night him and three others. He said that old Studebaker would only go about 45 miles an hour it was screaming. They drove it for about 5 months that way. Then one night on their way to move the pipes a dog ran across the road in front of them . About this time I just knew he was going to say how they wrecked it. But no that wasn't it. This is great do you know yet? Well he said the driver let off the gas so that they would slow down and they missed the Dog. Then he gave it gas again and that old Studebaker just flew. Ya see it had Overdrive and they didn't know it. He laughed so hard telling that story. He thanked me for letting him tell it to me, I told him that I was going to share it with my local club and also that I was going to make him famous by putting it on the Forum so that all could enjoy it too.
