Boat Load of Studebaker's Friday

[Bellingham Studenut]

This Friday morning we are joining some Studebaker's from eastern Washington, Bellingham and Whidbey Island taking the Anacortes to Victoria ferry, to drive up Vancouver Island for the 2016 Northwest Overdrive Tour.
If anyone else is planning to catch the 8:30am boat and want to caravan with other Studes, we hope to see you in Anacortes.

The Vancouver Island Chapter always does a fantastic job with driving tours and events!
We can't wait to see so many Studebaker's driven and their drivers creating "Miles of Smiles".

Thanks to the Vancouver Island Chapter for hosting this years NWOD Tour!

Hi James & Stephanie,

We actually have a reservation for the same ferry on Friday morning. We will be driving Uncle Stu - our 64. We look forward to seeing you again. - Kenny & Kathy

Your Vancouver Island Chapter hosts are looking forward to your arrival! And yes, we do have a few fun things planned to fill your weekend. The photo below is from 2009 when we last hosted this annual Pacific Can-Am Zone Event.

James, I wish I could join you folks, but I will be traveling to the Kansas City UMV Zone meet,... however we are going by way of Colorado.. Perhaps I need a new navigator?

Say Hi to Phil Singher on Whidbey, who cares for the Swedish Studebaker, the Volvo.

Dang!

Wish I could ride along, but just got back from delivering a G.H. from Fresno to Stevens Point, WI and an Avanti from Lancaster, PA to Tacoma.

Gotta get back to my regular job and put some real money in the bank or my wife is liable to gut me like a fish.

Enjoy the weekend!

The 63 Wagonaire I'm planning to drive needs to have the carburetor rebuilt tonight when I get home and test drive to work tomorrow.
Last week it had no door panels, rear seat and a long list of things to do.
The week before there were no door window frames, regulators, glass and carpet to install.
The NWOD is a good motivator and challenge to prepare a Studebaker for.
Once you make the journey, it's very rewarding and motivates you to continue doing more!

Thanks Rich for the window regulator, carb gasket and hopefully seat belts tomorrow
Looking forward to seeing everyone who makes it.

No apostrophe needed in Studebakers.

No apostrophe needed in Studebakers.

This is interesting to me, I have been taught that the apostrophe is only used to show Possession, but the darned spell checker systems always want me to include one for everything that is Plural!

What gives, modern newbies and "techies" in this World don't know what they are talking about or what?
