Studebaker Celebration: It’s All in the Details

I’ve owned my Studebaker for over six years. One of the first resources that I looked to for advice was the Studebaker Drivers Club (SDC) – they have a terrific online forum with loads of info and helpful fellow Studebaker-ites. After getting my 1955 Studebaker on the road and to it’s first car show years ago, I realized just how unique us Studebaker owners are. Seldom crossing paths with other Studebakers, I’ve always planned to attend a SDC chapter event – but it just never happened. Until recently that is…

The Old World Studebaker Car Show is put on annually by the Beach Cities/Inland Empire chapter of the SDC. One of their members, John (who’s also a reader at GreaseGirl), emailed me ahead of time letting me know I should put it on my calender. I had penciled-in Studebaker events on the calender before, with every intention of attending, but my own car club or some other function always seemed to get in the way. But this time I was determined – Old World Car Show would be my very first Studebaker meet!

Picture of the Week: Salty Studebakers

2010 Speedweek – Bonneville Salt Flats

Some things just need to be seen – like this grouping of Studebakers we shot out at Speedweek this past August! Two racing Studes and two spectator Studes. With less then half a year to go until Speedweek 2011, I’m already counting the days!

Be on the lookout for more picture’s of the week – there’s so many great shots I don’t always get the chance to share here on GreaseGirl.

Speed Week: Speed-Seeking Studebakers #3

I’ve already covered the two record-taking Studebakers for this 2010 Speedweek in previous articles of this Speed Seeking Studebakers series (#1 & #2). So before looking at more racing Studes, I wanted to show you some of the fine Studebakers that spectators were driving around on the salt!
