Today I *finally* got my '55 back together from when I inadvertantly
took the whole front of the motor apart while replacing the heater hoses
yesterday :)  anyway I was a little concerned as when I'd driven it last
the temp. gauge seemed to like to sit about 3/4 of the way up the ...

A few minutes ago ( maybe 8:45 PDST) the house shuddered. - rattled things
in the house
If I weren't so lazy, I'd turn on the radio to see if it was just a
bitty one right under me or a whopper a long distance away.

Who is the HMFWIC of the NC (Charlotte) area??

does anyone sell Alberta Blue in a spray can?  Thinking of painting the
motor in my '55 the "correct" color (for the chassis) as a black engine
in a black car is just a little... too... much... black.
Dang, did I just say that my car was *too* black?

Billy,
Rick and I think you need to bail out of NY and c'mon down here....
We have a couple places that you and Ellyn would fit right in (meaning...a
LOT of retired Yankee's live there <lol>)...

I have installed a new front emergency brake cable, which has a rubber
covering, and it is touching the left exhaust manifold.
Is there a bracket or clamp that is missing, that will keep it from
touching the exhaust manifold ?

Call me nuts, but this seems like a lot of car for the money:

(6 cyl.).

I got the new shoes from Stude International, but I'm trying to figure out

   How much of this is history, now much is hype ? i.e. was Andy " Vice
President, Chief of Performance Engineering, Chief Driver, and Chief
Engineer." ? Did he personally direct engine and chassis development at
Studebaker ?   I can find nothing in my history books about the ...

Well, Looks like I have a road ready lark but I cant get insurance for
it. The state I live in (michigan) requires insurance before I can get
a plate.
I am 21 years old, and most collect car insurance insurance will not

  I have no idea why, other than it was a bargain, and Dick could not
find anyone to commit.<g>

Attended a great little car show in Castro Valley, CA, today at Bob
Peterson's church.  The only show I've ever been to where admission is
free for participants AND they feed you a BBQ lunch!  About 150 cars.
Great Studebaker turn out (thanks to Bob).

Here's another one of them 'thar rare updraft carburetor models. I
always though Studebaker might have held on to some technologies too
long...<G>:

Had an interesting experience yesterday that I thought might get an
interesting thread started.
What was the worst weather you've ever driven a Stude through, or what
