Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2006Forty years
It was about forty years ago today that I wrote a check for $3.00 and sent it to Harry Barnes. As the submariner said, "A lot of water has gone over the bridge since then!" Karl Harry came to our Florida State Meet in Vero Beach Florida back in the mid 90's. He was a great guy!!! > It was about forty years ago today that I wrote a check for $3.00 and > sent it to Harry Barnes.

When they closed up the dealership (then selling Datsun) in '69 to move to North Carolina, they loaded up Harry's car "to the headliner" with prewar NOS Stude parts from the Parts Department. There were a lot of parts too, since they had bought out several other Stude dealership's parts departments as they closed. Don't even ask what happened to the rest of the parts<groan>. Paul In thje mid-1990s I wrote an article for TW comparing our "vanity plates" with the British "Cherished Numbers." (They've gone for as high as $50,000.) Harry phoned me and asked me to start a Club or Chapter over there. It was a very enjoyable experience with a fine group of people and, later, the independent club became the first European Chapter. I must thank him for that - and did! Karl > > It was about forty years ago today that I wrote a check for $3.00 and > > sent it to Harry Barnes.

Ed is asking for those who have had success in starting an SDC chapter to submit their experiences to the editors. Craig |
