Today, We Packed Up The Family And Headed Out West

No, really...we actually did! We headed out to the northwest side of Phoenix to attend the Grand Canyon Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club's monthly meeting and gathering. This month's meeting took place at the Pioneer Restaurant at Pioneer Village, an old 1800's "town" with lots of old buildings of historic interest and a true "old west" atmosphere. In keeping with the "old time theme," we thought we'd include a black and white photo of the Studebakers lucky enough to come to the meeting with their owners (due to our almost-completed wiring project, the truck did not make today's trip with us).
This awesome little Wagonaire is John's new dream car. He'd really like one like this with a sliding top. We'll just add it to our dream list!

Okay, we'll admit that we are not huge Avanti fans, but this is one of the nicest we have seen. It was downright pretty as a picture!


This Lark is truly amazing! It is restored to showroom-clean perfection(right down to the tags on the radiator), yet has the added modern amenities of A/C and tinted windows. The best part: it can fit a stroller in the trunk and a car seat in the back seat! What an awesome family car! (See, Mom...should have kept the old boy!)


This Silver Hawk was stunning, as well. We didn't post pictures of all the vehicles present today, but they were all just gorgeous and made our club proud. What a fun way to kick off what is soon to become our busiest "Studebaker Season" in the Southwest!

Looks like a a nice meet, sure hope more Az. cars show up in 2010.

Love the pictures, the black and white ones you do are pretty cool.

Now about them Avantis, dude if it's good enough for Alice it's good enough for me.

Wish me and Ol Snort could have been there.
