The local SDC clubs visited the Bardahl factory about a year ago. They gave us lots of samples, hats, and stickers and we had a great tour of the factory. Sounded like most of the products are sold overseas these days. I really enjoy touring factories to see how they operate. I well remember the Miss Bardahl hydroplanes and their Indy sponsorships. We called their product the "oil of ole" (Olay).

Edsel and Studebaker, eh. You probably figure a bleak future ahead for this dealership. But McAuley Motors survives today in it's original location in Merced, California selling Lincolns. (Maybe the future still looks bleakOriginally posted by JRoberts View Post
). They also sell Fords 40 miles away in Patterson, Ca. I don't know the history of this dealership, but Fred Fox probably does. It's not far from his town of Delhi, Ca. Too bad he doesn't frequent the Forum. A friend's family purchased a new '57 Edsel from McAuley, and the car was in the family until a few years ago. (It had the unfortunate paint/trim code of "KKK." 
[it was green/green])

If nothing else, Dick, the presence of that woman in that garb in that setting qualifies this image as possibly the weirdest photo in this entire thread! It does beg for an explanation.

I was just noticing this thread's popularity and endurance, so 'decided to do some math.
This thread has been open 1,535 days as of December 26, 2015. During that time, it has garnered 5,263 posts and 276,602 reads (hits).
That computes to almost 3 1/2 posts per day and more than 180 reads per day....for over 4 years! Amazing.
What a great thread...thanks again for the idea, Bob Andrews. An enduring, positive contribution to the Studebaker internet world, for sure. BP
