I am looking to do this with my 61 Lark. I am getting burned out on the tour and car show thing. I want to use the car more. Besides they don't work well when they sit up a lot.

I know what you mean about burn out with tours & car shows, though one is more likely to run into other drivers at a local car show than at the SDC IM. Attendees are so used to looking at immaculate show cars, they don't even know what a driver is, and often view a driver as a future show car under construction. I met more than one person in SB last summer who, by the questions they asked about my 56J, I knew that's what they were thinking; I didn't even bother to tell him any different. Of course, one has to realize that a driver Studebaker (or most other classics for that matter) are about as scarce as chicken lips, so I suppose it does catch folks off guard. The bumper sticker on the rear of each of my Studes, "Keep America Beautiful, Drive A Studebaker" says it all.Originally posted by drnittler View PostComment

mine was a daily driver until the trans took a dive on me. 3k miles on a dying trans isnt too bad in my opinion. I hope to get a 200r4 to swap in to it unless I try to pass the car on to someone else.Comment

I reread the original question and does me working on it and researching different jobs and parts counts as "using it every day". Does it?
I guess the Topic of the post is about "Daily Drivers". So it isn't at the moment but will be. As many have in the past.Comment
