I just noticed where I have to choose to be notified of responses, so sorry for the delay. I'm in Asheville, NC. I've had over a dozen Studebakers, from 1955 to 1963, my current is a '63 Champ, and of all 47 cars (or so) only four have been automatics. This includes modern daily drivers. So yes, I can drive a straight easily. What I am not versed in, is matching gears in a non-synchro trans. Honestly, a nice afternoon ride and a few moments behind the wheel would satisfy me. Our local clubs seem to cater to post war and hot rods, so there is no help there. I'll be in Chattanooga in August, maybe I can meet one of you all and talk? (and ride?)

And what about the three MGTDs?

Very sad. At least I had not renewed yet. The past few years weren't ads good as earlier years, which had some great how-to info

I'm not sure I really want to *own* a prewar Stude or any prewar car. Still, driving one is an experience that I've not had. I'm less intrigued with smaller and more basic cars like a Light Six, Dodge, or the more basic cars, but in the larger, more elegant automobiles... sort of a bucket list thing. Just an hour or two of driving something opulent from that era. Or even a nice ride would be great. I've driven a steam locomotive. I've piloted a small aircraft. All with a lot of supervision, which is grand, needed and well recieved. I'm in the southeast US. Can anybody help me tick this box off?
