| Local Stude enthusiast Ian Graham (and owner of Graham's Garage in Haydon, Ontario-just brought home this '50 Commander Starlite Coupe-(had the bigger engine so the front clip is a bit longer.. it had been parked in an airplane hanger for 25 years. Needs a lot of TLC but lots of potential- Ian wants to sell it-call him at 905-263-8172 (east of Toronto, Ont. |
| Just got back from the big Studebaker Driver's Club National Meet in South Bend Indiana (June/07) . Great turnout - lots of Avanti's and Packards showed up to- guestimates are about 800-1000 cars and lots of people. The new South Bend National Museum is simply awesome! Had to go back a second time- congratulations to the City of South Bend for building one of the best car museums in the world.. Also lots of modified Studes there.. I took a bunch of photos and will upload them shortly. My friend Ian Graham drove his modified '37 Coupe Express and we went to drag races at Osceola - It took Ian a few tries to get the hang of it but on the last run he beat this 64 Lark R2 Stude- the Coupex hit 94 mph in the quarter-nice work Ian.. |
