i'm an ol goat Dave, no way can i get snootie, just looking for some prewar post without being told to go to another site. Can't make Lulu, she may have to tow me to the meet. But i did see that cool touring car in california. Would look good in your garage if ya beat the tin men to it. Just think it would be the only one parked on campus.

I love pre-war stuff. It sure wouldn't hurt my feelings if more guys posted who have early cars. It has always seemed to me that more early car guys avoid us than the other way around.

Back in the days, over 30 years ago when I was considered a young man amoungst my peers.....the Vintage car guys. I loved early Iron too. But my friends were all 30 + years older than I was, and were in a whole different life style or place. It was fun to party with them, but once we started our family, we had to seek a much youger group to hang with. Thus the slide to Street rodding....where driving hard, fast, and long was the goal of each day. My tastes in rides changed somewhat over this past 30 years. And now I too am getting into the comfort age. Driving a Model A Raodster 500 miles to a Vintage car meet thru rain, snow and over the rockieis at 40 - 50 mph seemed fun when I was 24 years old. But now, hanging the needle on 90 mph going across Montana or Idaho or Nevada or Utah on route to Bonneville has much more appeal. Did I mention that my new project Studebaker will be equiped with Vintage Air, GPS, and a great sounding CD player. None of which were in my model A.
I still love to look at the "Antique CLass" cars, but most there owners are very old now, and have given up on the all night parties they used to enjoy. And the truth of the matter is these cars are being sold at estate sales for very little money because most of the generation that remember them when they were new are gone.[}]

Thats what i'm talking about, that is just plain beautifull. Is it coming to Phoenix?

Old Iron still make wonderful Wedding Cars and perfect for that day picinic at the local extended care unit. Parades are tough becuase of the overheating problems associated with the slow pace.
Didn't want to sound negative here. But every car has its own purpose and niche.
Hope you love the one you have! Because I know I love all 20 of mine and they are all different.[]

Phillip,
I don't know who owns this car so I don't know if it will be in Phoenix or not. If this one doesn't make it I'm sure thaere will be a large turnout of antique Studebakers in attendance.
