Dwight FitzSimons Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Dave Thibeault was at the SDC Int'l meet in early May, so that might be one reason for him not to attend the AOAI met. I don't know whether he will be there or not, just sayin'. --Dwight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Any info as to how the meet is going up in Wisconsin? Just wondering how the price of gas may have affected the attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Were trhere any cars for sale? How was the swap meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkus Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 15 or 16 cars in parking lot friday during judge period, the most of any of the 3 days, 3 total inside venders from wednesday thru friday, 2 of those being mike baker and john hull, the 3rd someone selling "literature", no "swap meet" period, 1 avanti on the sales board, (an ambitious project). drove 2277 miles round trip, very disappointed! if this turnout doesn't scream for a reconciliation between the aoai and the sdc, (i belong to both), than i don't know what will.

mfg Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) In my opinion, the Studebaker Drivers Club needs to clean house at the top.....Term limits on all paid positions would be a good start. Edited June 20, 2022 by mfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 The seminars I attended were great; John Hull's, Alice Preston's, and Andy Beckman's on the Wednesday. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend Jim Pepper's presentation on the Bonneville cars that evening as I had to head for home and be at work on Saturday. Some of the information was new to me. Agree with others, there could have been a few more cars on display, and a proper swap meet, but it was great just to see everyone again after 3 years from not being able to travel anywhere. This meet was not the main point of my trip, therefore, I won't complain about any distance traveled. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I agree, the two clubs need to get along better. I’m not sure who’s to blame now but thirty years ago I actually dropped out of the AOA as it was obvious that most Avanti owners were ashamed of the Studebaker heritage. The popular notion was to remove any thing on the car that said Studebaker. Someone even mentioned, in print, that all Avanti owners should be on the look out for Super Larks and Hawks to strip the disc brake components off those cars for their Avantis. I’m a Stude guy and that just rubbed me the wrong way. That being said, I would imagine the crazy price of gas, hotel rooms when traveling and food was the biggest reason for the lack of attendance.
