  • Another Studebaker Adventure-Update

    Well we went on an adventure. Put gas in the Hawk started down 99 southbound to meet Rick for pizza. Right before American Ave David notices the Temp Gauge is pegged. He puts the hawk in neutral shuts it off and we coast to a stop off the offramp onto American Ave. We call Bobby to bring gallons of water. We had 1 gallon in the trunk. David pours that in slowly watches then from the back of the engine water is pouring out. So I try to Call Bobby back of course he is already outside gathering supplies to take to us. So I call our neighbor Bob to go outside and stop Bobby from coming. Told him we had to get a Tow Truck. So then I called a tow well that would take an hour. Mind you we were on our merry way to get Pizza. So I called our friend Rick he was already at the Pizza Parlor waiting for us.
    So I asked him to order the Pizza and would he deliver to the side of the road. And he did while we were waiting for the tow we had Pizza. Just as soon as we were finished the Tow was there. He took us the Ten Miles home. First Time the Hawk was ever on a Tow Truck. We are pretty sure that the water leak is from the head at the back where the plate is. David figured it wasn't leaking so. Well we will see tomorrow.

                Well the update is one of the new freeze plugs popped out at the back of the engine. Got a few spares today so David will pull the starter and replace it. We will keep you posted.

                    Hey, Anne

                    Glad it was nothing more serious. You've been having too many adventures lately.
