  • Drive your Studebaker today!

    Beatiful day here in upstate SC. Took the Hawk out for her first real cruise with me outside the 'hood'. Aprox 150 mile round trip to local chapter meeting/picnic. Hawk did very well, cruised on the Interstate and the 70 speed limit in overdrive was smooth and carefree. Good day, no issues, life is good.

    Dave, where was your picnic & meet; what town? 'Does sound like a pretty day.
    We'll be heading down past you mid-May to see our son and daughter-in-law in Charleston. BP
    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

          Ran the '54 around the county today. I'm ready for spring! We have another freeze in the forecast for next week... old man winter is having a hard time letting go this year.

            Drove my Hawk today, took one of our dogs to the local farmer's market and picked up a few groceries. It rained a little, but that's Oregon.... I try to have a DYSD at least once or twice a week.

              We took truck out and when to supper, ran into a couple who wanted to know about truck. He had just bought a 53 Chevy pickup and was happy to see a older truck out. Enjoyed the outing!

                  i took the '51 out to the local Food Lion grocery store today to pick up a few supplies. i spent more time talking to folks that gathered around her when i was loading up than i spent inside the store. that's what it's all about!

                    I drove the Champ today to town. I picked up feed, parts for my lawnmower, and some parts for the JohnDeere I am restoring. Igot the 51 out of the barn today for the first time this year and drove it to my folks house to pick up my daughter. I had to run the heater. At least the sun was shining.

                      Drove my 2R5 around a bit today. I generally drive it every day when there is no snow and salt on the road. Yesterday was freezing rain. Got my Galaxie out of storage and drove it also. Wish my Hawk wasn't having dirty fuel issues. I may have to pull the tank for a cleaning before I can get out on the open road with it.

                              StudeRich, somehow the pics don't look so much like spring! Our outting was in the high 70's (very little snow)
