We had a great mechanic for forty years -- he worked on my dad's 62 Studebaker which he bought new at Baker Motors in downtown Atlanta. He left Baker and opened his own shop some time in the 70s . . . in the 90s he moved up to Cherokee County. We followed him all over the landscape. He wound up specializing in Volvos and Land Rovers (hey - you've always got lots of work, especially on the Land Rovers!)

He just retired in August and none of us know WHAT we're going to do - especially about the Studebaker (know anybody that wants a cherry red '62 Lark convertible complete with shop manuals? It runs fine but needs body and interior work.)

My first car was almost a Studebaker. Can't recall the model but I think it was a hawk. Someone had installed a studebaker V-8 in it although it came with a 6.

Daddy tried it out for a day and we discovered the clutch was slipping. The dealer would fix it but not for the same price so we passed on it.

How much for the Lark? I have a mechanic friend that is president of the Tidewater Virginia Studebaker Assosiation (or something like that). You can FReepmail me with details.
