My brother-in-law collects Studebakers...

[Adsos Letter]

and decided his niece (my youngest) should have one for graduation.

I don't think she likes it... :rofl:





Not that she'll be driving it much with gas at over $4.00...

1. We had a Studebaker back in 1954.

I can still see that car in my mind. :)

[Adsos Letter]

2. I think my bil's collection is up to about 19 now...

minus the one he gave my daughter. He is a complete fanatic about 'em. My father-in-law collects them also...he has 7...I think...


:hi:

3. Yeah, she hates it...

she should give it to me

[Adsos Letter]

4. I'll relay your observation and request...

but I'll have to go outside 'cause I think she's been sleepin' in it since she got it... :D

5. Wow. Is There No Way to Convert the Engine / Compartment

For something more economical?

[Adsos Letter]

6. Not without destroying the collector's value of the ride...

this model was Studebaker's version of the Corvette...sort of...very fast, but bad on gas.

We are helping her buy a small Nissan for regular driving...I suspect the Studie will mostly get driven to meets or on special occasions...

7. Too great!

My parents had a Studebaker in '56 when I was born. I have some photos of myself as a fat baby at the steering wheel, but I won't be posting any.

8. My in-laws are totally into those cars...

...they even had a special barn built for them at their place in Oregon.

I suspect this one will be driven to a lot of meets.

9. Aw, you are depriving us

:rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

11. YOU hardly seem deprived, young lady...

...skiing in the Alps and traipsing around Europe... :rofl:

[Eurobabe]

12. LOL, yesterday summer started

It was close to 85F, cloudless sky, burger on the grill for lunch - yeah life REALLY sucks. :rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

14. You're barbecuing your city councilman...?

oh, wait...I thought you said "burgher"... :hide: now, was that joke an absolute abomination, or what...and yet, I could not resist.

Which also explains quite a lot about my life, but I digress.

Sounds like we've traded weather...overcast, cool, and windy here at the moment

EDIT: Punctuation and speeling... :dunce:

[Eurobabe]

16. we had your weather all through the beginning of May

I am happy that it is more like summer now. Although today it is 87F, that is pretty heiss for Deutschland.

10. Very nice present!

I know another recent Drexel grad who would be happy to receive it should she really not fancy it.

:rofl:

[Adsos Letter]

13. Fancy it?...she damn near sleeps in the thing...

:rofl: and this is the High School graduation present for the younger daughter; the Drexel daughter must remain content with her jeep and Civic, for the time being...and there is NO WAY their uncle would give her a car like that for Philly's streets and traffic. :D

[Eurobabe]

15. Oh my, no wonder she is smiling!

My kids were lucky to get used Fords after High School, although we are thinking of helping the youngest out with a DP because she is now 70K in debt after grad school. How are these kids ever going to buy homes or start families? I have to wonder. :shrug:
