Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine just announced a contest for
"Muscle Machine of the Year" in the new, October 2005 edition I got in
today's mail as a subscriber. They picked 24 Muscle Cars on which they
have reported since the magazine began, and are soliciting reader votes
from among those 24, for "Muscle Machine of The Year."
The only Studebaker in the list is Car #11; Nelson Bove's 1964 R3
Commander 2-door they reviewed last year. (Groan...they identified it
as a 1963 model!) Oh, well.
You can vote on line at this dedicated website:
www.hemmings.com/mmoy
Scroll down to the photo and brief description of Nelson's car. Click
on the little circle by his car and then hit SUBMIT. That's all!
Or votes can be snail-mailed to:

Thanks, we have a real shot. We have a very strong net presence, and
there is ony one Studebaker on the list and it won't split up the votes
like the brand X guys.

Good observation, John. The AMC folks have only one entry, too, but
considering how few of them show up at The Pure Stock Drags,
I wonder how interested they are. BP

I think everyone should make that page their 'home page' and vote every time
they boot up and go to the internet.
We need LOT'S of votes..
Don't leave it up to the voter's in Florida <lol>

Well....there ARE a lot of deceased Studebaker enthusiasts who would
certainly vote for Nels' car if given the oppportunity posthumously....
and we don't like to forget anyone who's "gone before....."

I voted for it too. Sheesh, they not only called it a '63, but a
"Lark" instead of "Commander"! I guess in the early brochures they did
call them "Lark Commanders"!

John Poulos - 03 Sep 2005 17:41 GMT
Technically, Studebaker referred to all Lark types with the super
package as "Super larks." , even in 64.
