bigdaddy Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 I'll be out and about tomorrow! Mine is a work in progress, but I'll have plenty of tools & cell phone. No destination in particular, but we have some beautiful country in my area and I plan on driving through it. Looking forward to all the questions that I normally get! ............ Dust 'em off and get 'em out!
mfg Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Heading out shortly to a local auto show held a few towns away in the '63 Avanti....IDYSD just adds to the fun! ENJOY THE DAY EVERYONE!
bigdaddy Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Posted September 13, 2014 Just got back home, put a little over 200 miles on the Avanti. Got a real good reception while sitting on a Ferry crossing the Mississippi river. One guy shook my hand and thanked me for getting it out, said that he has a model of a '63, that he has kept since childhood and was never this close to a real Avanti. Did see 2 other Studes on the road. Had a great day!
MARK Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 I had plans to join the Staten Island club Verrabakers for a drive and then dinner, but NJ / NY weather had a different plan as rain arrived. So earlier in the day, I drove my 63 GT Hawk to a high end mall for the monthly coffee and cars meet. I was the only Studebaker there among Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls Royce and a classic 63 split window Vette. Later I drove over to my mechanics shop as he watched me do some repairs. Tomorrow I plan on a small show locally and will drive my 64 Avanti R2. Two (2) years ago my R2 took a 1st in Class at a Concorse de' Elegance. Mark
