Wabigoon: When I was in high school one of my classmates "borrowed" his Uncles 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk and we got it up to 120 M.P.H. on I-90. Never owned one - thought they looked fugly. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Evnin, I had a real red faded, think allis chalmer in a field for 20yrs. Drove it in the winter to save my 1967 big block camaro. It had a Chevrolet 6cyl. a ford 3speed automatic, but only showed 2 speeds on the dash. You put it in low, then to get the second speed you shifted into hi for a second and then back down to second and up to 3rd for drive. Some of us that hung around the general store sitting on the porch drinking pop etc. my buddy shows up in his 68 charger 383. I ask him to race the studebaker, we joked & ribbed him till he agreed. I go get the pink stud & motioned to my cousin to get a quart of oil out of the back & told him to go explain to Fred how we were to start and as he's telling him to pour the oil under his tire (no posi) . We were racing to the Rialway track looser to buy the pop. Well we start & of course I leave & head to crossing, behind me was nothing but smoke. I was half way there when he finally got moving, dang he beat me & I had to buy the pop but it was so worth it we laughed our asses of. Ya, no video games for us!!!! Some time I'll tell yas about our steer & pig riding. Bill. 👣🐾👣🐾🇨🇦

Dad bought a used Lark VI around 1969 for a work car. He only paid a few hundred bucks for it. We got backed into by a car salesman at the local Ford dealership and cratered the drivers door. Dad found a door from the junkyard and changed it out. He probably made 150 bucks on the deal and he didn’t care about the paint not matching. A few months later a guy driving a pickup without a bed lost control and hit it head on parked in front of the house and the insurance totaled it out. He got twice what he paid for it. Took that plus some and bought a new 70 Chevy pickup.
Step brother had a 57 two door president that I drooled over but he didn’t keep it long.

My hunting buddy is a Studebaker fanatic, has a barn full of them. A couple of pickups, a '34 sedan, an Avanti and a '51 bullet nose Champion. There are others I don't recall. Last time I was out there he showed me his latest prize - a high performance aluminum head for a flathead 6.
