What were you doing in the 1950's??

[57 Silver Hawk]

I was in grade school from 1955 until 1963, in high school from 1964 to 1967, then went to college for two years with my mom's '57 Silver Hawk. I didn't realize what a great part of my life was then..til now.

Here is a link below included a photo of '55 Studebaker. Cool!!!

I wasn't born till 61. I enjoy lots of modern things, but have always felt I was born 1/2-1 generation too late

I attended both high school & college in the '50s. High school from '51 to '55, then college from '55 to '59. While in college, I had my first car, a '40 Studebaker Champion business coupe.

I didn't arrive in the 50s until July, 9 months after my Studebaker. It's my signature, which doesn't include me.

Steven : I was doing exactly the same as you, except in my case, just move everything up one year. From '59 to '62 we also had a '57 Silver Hawk, but ours was white with the darker Glendale Green on the bottom.
Actually, I spent the '50's dreaming about Studebakers (at least my life is consistent!) as Dad had a '53 Champion before the Hawk.

I graduated from High School in 53 and bought a 48 Champion Starlight, that was all decked out with spot lights, fender skirts, visor over the windshield, and curved crome visors on the doors over the door windorws. The car was purchased shortly after the first of the year.

Started my first year of collage the next fall at the University of Denver and drove the Stude down there. I was majoring in accounting and had streight A's in that field, but during my third quarter I decided that I didn't want a job sitting behind a desk with a coat and tie, which was the way then, so I droped out.

The next fall I switched to engineering at Montana State. While there I traded the Studebaker off for a 49 Mercury Club Coupe. Gtraduated in 58 and moved to my first full time job at Chinook, Mt.

Spent the remainder of the 50's at Chinook and moved to Browning, Mt in the spring of 60.

I was born in '52 also. That's why I like the SDC-makes me feel young sometimes!! Learned to drive in my grandmas Hudson though,makes me feel old. They don't make those anymore either,do they? In Canada maybe?[8D]

Earliest car memories: Cheapest gas price in NYC $.33/ Gallon!
The guy on the next block would show off his collection of Model T's to the kids every Sunday, if you went to church first.
Taking rides with my brother to the 24hr auto parts store (163rd st. & 3rd. ave. South Bronx), all hours, so he could buy parts for his '63 Impala. He'd use me to sit in the car to avoid getting a ticket!

I started the '50s in grade school, bought my '50 Land Cruiser in 55, my '53 coupe in '59, while wasting time in college.
