Ive seen that when I lived in San Diego!

That’s actually a picture of my worst nightmare from back when I used to pass tractor trailers in my ‘60 Beetle 😬

Skyway, it is also very reminding of looong time passing those double trailer semi's with my 85 Fiero four cylinder and looking up at the lug nuts on the rigs tires & rims.

….and in heavy rain too; yes?

And don't forget the snow / sleet, this is Wisconsin.

Yup, that in St. Louis too.

At least a threesome from the Sunday, June 5, 2022, Old Motor; two coming and one going:

And at a leisurely pace of 30 MPH. Ah, life was slower and simpler back then.

Wow! I didn't realize Oregon had those blue/gold plates for so long.

I can't find any Studebakers IN this photo, but I am sure one was parked in the empty parking place immediately in front of the large light pole to the lower right in the photo. <GGG> BP

Bob,

Good to see only a few used Studebakers on the lot and many SOB's (some other brands). There was a late model Mercury and lots of Buicks. Sadly that would change over the years when sales dropped and the only one that might give you any money for a Studebaker was when the Studebaker owner wanted a new Studebaker.

Thanks for the Memories
