Some of my SDC brothers have given me a heads up about the cover of January's Turning Wheels. Seems my 55 made the cover. If so, I really wish to thank Bob Palma and all the SDC folk who helped me not only put the car on the road, but upgrade it to qualify for the PSMCDRs. What a hoot. I have five albums of the many year build and this will be the capper. Hope to drive it to South Bend, again, in May. Cheers to all and Happy New Year!

LOL. Still waiting to see it. Thanks to Ann Turner for choosing Bob's photo and thanks to Pekka for the shots he took, too. Peter Sant did a nice article, too, in the Ontario Chapter's Studebanner.
Ever since I saw my first 53, I wanted a Studebaker. Bought the AMT model kit at least three times. Found a 55 C in Elkhart when I was 22 (1974) and drove that until I was leaving Canada to sail across the Atlantic. I owed Mr. Transmission a couple of hundred dollars and gave him the car, instead. Marriage, divorce, then law school and every time I felt overwhelmed I would buy an Auto Trader and look for Studebakers. Took me almost 20 years but I was finally in a position to buy another one and between SDC and eBay managed to rebuild it. The drag races were the icing on the cake. Can't think of a nicer present to start the year.Last edited by warrlaw1; 12-31-2013, 11:06 AM.Dave Warren (Perry Mason by day, Perry Como by night)Comment

We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
