  • Bought something of Studebaker

    I bought some crushed cement this week to build up my driveway.
    The guy delivering it saw one of my hawks and told me he owned 4 or 5 of those.
    Then he told me that the concrete he is bringing is from the Studebaker factory.
    He said some peces were 5 to 6 feet deep in size.
    I am sure my Studebakers feel better now that the driveway is from the same factory.

    Just a litle trivia.

      Very cool, Paul. And, good to hear from you! What's your current project now that the CE is done?

        Hi Bob.

        I was thinking of resuming work on the 53 hard top that was interupted by the CE.
        How ever my wife and I went to that car show at the museum today and my wife keeps on
        hinting how she likes the bullet nose.
        So ?????

            It sounds like the rebar, brickwork, concrete, etc from the Studebaker plant is being recycled into other buildings or structures. So if you have a new building, street, sidewalk, or anything with these materials that are used, a piece or pieces of Studebaker's plant may end up in in it.

              Could there be an opportunity for a local chapter to package a small amount of residue from the plant site and sell it to those enthusiasts that won't ever have the opportunity to visit South Bend? It could be kept on the shelf in the garage or displayed in the man cave. We gave our son a commemorative brick from a UND stadium renovation.

                Bob, in theory it sounds like a great idea. But in reality; I could not even give away (as in FREE) bricks from various demolished Studebaker buildings.

                Somewhere written in the "Laws of Human Nature" it must state:

                "If it's FREE you won't want it; if it CO$T, it co$t too much."

                Go figure!!!
