Almost 500 miles on Frosty today

[Jerry Forrester]

Made the trip by myself today. Arose at 3AM. Out of the house and on the road by 3:45. Drove Frosty down to the swap meet/car corral in Moultrie in south Georgia. More than a half dozen Studebakers were there. Matthew will post some pix I am sure.
Frosty behaved quite nicely today, no major problems. only a loose excitment wire on the alternator causing the amp needle to twitch for the first half of the trip.
Got back home at 10:15PM. I am one whooped puppy.
Goodnight!

I bet that was fun, and worth the trouble. 500 miles is a full days drive most any time.

I saw-
2- custom 53's
1-rough 52 convertible
2-custom 50's
2-55's side by side
1-champ PU
1- nice 63 gt hawk
1-59 lark
Probably missed some as well, it was a mad house!

I put about 300 on the GT going the other way, but I had 2 grandaughters and Grandma with me. I hated to miss Moultrie, but we had a club meeting in Americus the same day. We are going to try not to let that happen again.



PS. Also had a wire come off the Alternator. Stopped at the Piggly Wiggly on the way home and had to be jumped off.

For many years now...I have said that, "you know you've had a good time when your Studebaker arrives back in your own driveway...under it's own power!"

Kinda like one of my horse riding days when the real joy was getting back to the barn...and I'm the one on top! (sorry to say that was not always the case)

Thanks for sharing the story, it encourages the rest of us to attempt the same. If the weather is nice on Thanksgiving, I will drive one of mine to the family reunion.

Sounds like a fun trip, Jerry. Glad Frosty had a trouble free trip. I missed another one. Maybe next year I'll get to make some of the meets around the southeast.

Hey Jerry
Have you posted any pictures of Frosty on the road?? Scenic backdrop stuff??
Good Roads

Tex, I looked for you all day. As a matter of fact, I looked for you the last three weekends, Lineville, Perry, then Moultrie. Are you ever going to come out of hiding?

No scenic backdrop stuff. This'll have to do today.

I think I'm going to have to install a set of 2" lowering blocks. I like the nose down attitude, but this is just a little too much.

Well...you could always weld on an I beam DOT guard like tractor trailers use.

Actually, it is hard to keep one of these cars from looking good no matter how it is oriented. (However, yours is a bit high.)

Might have something to do with those 31" tall meats I have under the ass end.

[jclary]

Jerry, you know that some of your north Georgia neighbors would say it is perfect...only thing missing is about 20 t0 25 gallon jars of moonshine in the trunk.

[showbizkid]

Jerry, I've always loved that rake - looks like a '60s custom, for sure! But yeah, the liftover into the trunk... maybe a bit tall
