  1. I enjoy the pictures very much.

  2. Thanks Jim. I enjoy taking them and sharing them :)
    I have lots more, I just wasn’t sure how long to make the posts and if it would take too long to load the page.

  3. I was starting to get worried there, as I scrolled through all the pics of cars, that I wasn’t seeing any Studebakers! But you didn’t disappoint with that pic of the wonderful Daytona.

    TV spot for the Daytona:

  4. That is a net commercial for the Studebaker. I’ve never seen a top open like that.

    As for the lack of Studebakers on this post, have no fear, I’m hoping to get out to the museum in South Bend next month. I hope to get some pictures.

  5. Very nice pics. You couldn’t have asked for better weather. I am curious … I’ve lived in the Mishawaka area and don’t recall ever hearing how one becomes “Princess Mishawaka.” Does anyone know?
