I guess Charles Barkley made fun of the people who went outside to see the eclipse. "I've seen darkness before"...

That was one of Jay Leno's favorite yearly trips to the Heartland.. -
Brooklands 1920 - Racecar with female driver
Studemax replied to John E. Guitar's topic in What is it?
If that's the same woman, then it's decades later - and the chances of that being the case is slim to none. So... NOT the same woman. -
To get you to think. But you didn't do it.

And your point is?

Nader was an idiot looking to stir up trouble to gain attention and make money. -

Why must every topic get off topic!? (OYE!)
Studemax replied to Peter Gariepy's topic in Forum Questions and Answers
Petey boy, your problem is you take YOUR JOB personally. If people want to jack up a thread, they aren't doing it to piss off Petey boy, okay? They don't care what you want, and they don't have to care what you want. This forum is NOT yours, it's just where you work. So take care of business and go home happy instead of playing the victim. -
They would fit, but they are not stock Studebaker.

Yes, there are. Ever heard of Pendine Sands in Wales, or Southport Beach in England? -
Period RACE CAR Images to Relieve some of the Stress
Studemax replied to Steve Moskowitz's topic in Period Photos - Race Cars
At one point, this car was the fastest in the world - first to top 180MPH. The car still exists, and is driven regularly. The engine was 836 cubic inches, and the car was direct drive. -
I was in Long Beach a number of times and always figured I'd visit next time. Then they moved it to Oregon.

I didn't make a killing on it, but during my senior year in high school a guy Mom worked with gave me a '59 Galaxie 500 4 door. He even trailered it from Oklahoma to my house in Wichita for nothing. He said it kept overheating and quitting on him, and if I could get it going and keep it going - I could have it. I found a pinhole in a soft plug right behind the passenger side motor mount. I cleaned that soft plug with gasoline, then rubbing alcohol, and then soap and water before filling it with plumbers epoxy. Drove it for years, and kept improving it. Sold it to a local businessman who was restoring another '59 Galaxie and he ended up using his for parts and restored mine. Mine had factory air, and even a tilt front bench seat. The 352 ran strong even if did burn a little oil, and the Powerglide shifted into 2nd at 69MPH if you held your foot to the floor long enough. I think I asked for a grand, and he paid in cash. He drove it home. This would have been in the late 70's. -
Probably belongs on a museum car.

Here’s a fun one — Who bought a car for under $ 100 ???
Studemax replied to mobileparts's topic in General Discussion
I was 13 and bought my aunt's trashed '58 Ford Country Squire for $10. Drove it around the farm and worked on it for 5 years before selling it to a salvage yard for $50 without ever getting it tagged. -
How do I get started in endurance rallies? (ERA events, etc)

You are not asking the right crowd. -
OUCH.

I wish I still had a picture... One of my pals is a well known artist here in town. He specializes in mobiles. Back in the 90's when I totaled my '65 Malibu 4 door he asked to strip trim parts from it to make another work of art. It was quite large and interesting, and sold at the first showing he took it to. Title? "Christopher's Pile-up at Malibu".... My name is Chris Pile.... I don't recall the price it brought, but it was over a grand.
