Dan Talbot and his wife celebrated their honeymoon 50 years ago in a Studebaker. Now, they’re celebrating their golden anniversary in another Studebaker.
These are the kinds of stories I love. There just seems to be an undeniable attraction between people and the cars they grew up with. Fond memories and life-changing moments surrounding certain types of cars make folks wax nostalgic. A prime example of this is the Studebaker. Studebaker clubs exist all over the world. People never tire of these old-school classics and demand for them is higher than ever.
I had a Studebaker many years ago that someone gave me for free, just because they wanted to see it restored and back on the road. Although I was never able to finish the car, I had a wonderful time working on it. I was amazed at how well these cars were made. Studebakers have a very simple design, possess remarkable power and are very reliable. It’s no surprise that collectors covet these cars.
I am getting married in exactly 7 weeks. I wonder if my fiancée would go for a honeymoon in a Studebaker?
