Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Top Ten funny responses to Inquiries about your Studebaker
If the witch that was sooooo snotty in the way she talked about the car she has, she should just be driving a 4 door white with a blue interior something else instead of a Studebaker. If you are going to drive a Studebaker I have a ball responding to folks in different friendly fun ways when they see me driving my 61 Cruiser! 10. Yep, 10 more payments and she's all mine!! 9. They don't make em anymore? Gosh, I need to get to town more often!! 8. Yep, I am the original owner cause my dad gave me this car new when I was six years old!! 7. Parts? Don't have a problem with parts cause a Studebaker is not like other cars that need parts. 6. Oh my gosh!! I started my trip in a Oldsmobile!!!!! 5. Yeah I remember Studebakers too! I just don't remember why I started this trip!! 4. Haven't seen one in a long time? Well, come over to my house then!!!! 3. You learned to drive in a Studebaker? Well I am still learning!!! 2. Yep, they are so ahead of their time, I am still waiting for the other guys to catch up! and the Number ONE answer: 1 A good car is like a good wife, ya gotta hold one to them as long as you can!!!! Feel free to add to the list gang! Bob Miles Tucson AZ I'm wary of #4... I don't think I'd wanna invite one of the local buba(s) to my house. Better he/she share their idiocy with the population as a whole! <G> JT > If the witch that was sooooo snotty in the way she talked about the car > she has, she should just be driving a 4 door white with a blue interior [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > Bob Miles > Tucson AZ 11) I bought it new, but couldn't drive it until I got out on parole. 1 A good car is like a good wife, ya gotta hold one to them as long as you can!!!! Bob, hold one "WHAT" to them? Gun, knife, stove pipe, hammer? Inquiring minds want to know just how you've managed to keep her, so long. 12 Dang salesman told me it was a Mercedes! Bo My favorite when i was driving the 57 President: "It's a Lada. They were made in the Soviet Union during the 60's."

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Bo Or, once when I was rather snootily being pressed for where in the world I could get parts for a Studebaker. I looked at the guy, kinda smiled, and said, "Oh sure, I tell you where to find them, then you tell two friends, then THEY tell two friends, and pretty soon the whole darn country will driving Studebakers." Richard Lawler '57 1/2 ton Transtar '51 2dr Champion '87 Avanti I had an interesting conversation the other day while driving my Champ to Home Depot for some stuff.... Nice fella, comes up in the parking lot and asks " is that a '63 or a '64? Wow! here's a guy who can tell what is visually the same as a '61 or '62 from a 63/64! Had he looked through the window and seen the suspended pedals?..well, I don't know, because he started talking about all of the Studebakers his dad once had and all of the ones he once had. His first Stude, and his favorite was a '55 Power Hawk. " a '56" I said. " No, it was a '55. Had a Packard engine in it." "Oh! a '56 Golden Hawk!" "Nope, those were '57 and '58" he says. Now knowing that his guess on my truck was somewhat lucky, I pressed more cautiously..." was it supercharged?" " Nope, it had a '58 Packard engine in it, right from the factory." " Yep, those Studes sure were ahead of their time!' I said, thinking of how advanced thinking had the factory put a '58 Packard engine in his '55 Power Hawk.... >My favorite when i was driving the 57 President: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> >> Bo Ron/Champ 6 1963 8E5 Champ (Champ 6) 1962 Lark Daytona Convertible On eBay now...(Boomerang) 1995 VW Passat (Vanilla..yuk) 1994 Volvo 850 (Tilley) 1973 Volvo 1800 ES (Hyacinth Bucket) No one can hold anything next to a good car or good wife, but one can hold ON to them as long as possible<g> OOPS!!!!!!

This does not settle a thing, of course, since we then have to conjecture what the differing definitions of Old are for cars vs. wife(/ves). With your tractor, the tractor has to be older than the wife, period. Because of Certain Kinds of women out there, houses and cars sometimes work by different rules ("When are you getting rid of that OLD car? When do we move out of this OLD house?"). Feeling around for that limit can be dangerous and expensive. I firmly believe your old car ought to be senior to your eldest child, but that's just my prejudice...(Oldest car you admit to? Eldest child with this wife?) > Good cars are easy to find and fun to swap now and then, good wives > are harder to find and much more riskly to change.<g> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Bob Miles > > Tucson AZ |
