Studebaker at show

[TMAN0950]

There was a car show Saturday for a Police officer that was shot and killed. There were over 200 cars there and I took the 59 pickup. It rained before it was over so it ended early. [img][/img]

Your pickup looks nice and I am glad that you showed it. I have owned two 1959 pickups.
The guy with the GMC sure looks like he wanted to snuggle up to a Studebaker or he just can't park it in the middle of his space.
Normal parking spaces are really too tight for a car show. It is hard to see the vehicles or to take pictures.

I saw several cool ones at a show today, Labor Day, in my hometown.





Love the color on that Olds! I'm ashamed to say my Studes stayed home. I'm too thin-skinned at shows when guys walk by and make snide remarks about orange peel in my paint, or maybe see a little run in my clearcoat. These guys have mile deep paintjobs of perfection. My cars and truck are 'seen' at Home Depot parking lots.
That's a '28 Mack truck, BTW.

Great cause, hope the show brought some needed funds to the fallen officer. Nothing better than the generous nature of car clubs, car guy's/gals.

LOL I have a truck like that.
I think a bumper sticker is in order,
I'm here to make yours look better.(TM) [:0]UPDATE: Better go ahead and trademark this one[8D].
I drive it to help yours look better.(TM)

And this reminds me of a thread months back,
The next show I go to and park next to a nice Vette, and the owner is about to come unglued because I'm next to his GEM[}], I can say, Yeah....I'm going to park it here, cause I make your car look better[:0].
2R5-how many do you think we can sell?

That sounds like a bumper sticker that would be really popular with anybody who has a work in progress or beater that they drive. I think they would sell to people with all kinds of cars and trucks. Print it and they will come.

I find at car shows with the mirrors on these Studebaker trucks that people are always running into them , usually happens when they are looking at the vehicle beside you and they turn and start walking and "bang" right into your mirror [}] I now usually take a wrench with me and turn the mirrors into the cab.
