Studebaker Acres

   Picture from last year's show.....

 

So a little story. For a while ( a few years back ) I was parking my parts truck up by the barn which is a place that is easy to see as a round the corner on County Highway Z. One lovely summer day a Studebaker pickup rolled down my driveway hauling a trailer that looked exactly like the box from my B2B. Apparently the owner had seen my truck parked up by the barn when he was driving by and decided to visit another old truck. Anyway this got me invited to his annual car show he holds at his place.

 

Well I decided to go. As I rolled in I saw a sign for visitor parking to the right and straight ahead for show vehicles which I considered myself to be driving. Now my parts truck had been painted by brush and a lot of the primer colored paint was peeling showing the 60's era Dodge green underneath ( you know the kind of sea foam green ). There were rust holes in the fenders big enough to put your fist through and a few other things that made it, well, less than show quality.

 

So I rolled up and as I turned the corner, I could see all the other "show cars" with high gloss beautiful paint jobs shining in the sun. Too late to turn around since everyone could see me roll in as soon as I came around the bend.

 

Anyway JR did not get many looky loos unless you count the rolled eyes. But Pilot House was represented !!

 

That was about 4 or 5 years ago and this year I will return with my beloved Clementine. Still not exactly show quality but a truck I poured my heart and soul into. Someday I will get to the BBQ in Clements, next year I hope to make Iola, but this year Pilot House will be represented again.

Give me a heads-up for next year. I’d drive my truck down there to help you “represent” Dodges. It’s just a quick 2 to 2-1/2 hour drive for me and the Ol’ Dodge. I had other commitments for this weekend so this year wouldn’t work for me.
