We enjoyed taking pictures of the Lark on the way home at some of the areas of interest along the way. Here we are Friday morning at the windmills near
Indio, California.
This is one of the other Larks at Bob's yard that is waiting to go home. The gentleman whom it belongs to happened to show up while we were there and we had the pleasure of meeting him. As Tracy was taking pictures, she was surprised to see the dealership emblem on the back of his car. Evidently, the car was from
Beaudry's in Tucson, Arizona, which is the town that both John and Tracy grew up in! To make a long story short, the gentleman was kind enough to give us the emblem, which was just icing on the cake to us as far as we were concerned. We couldn't believe our good fortune and we really appreciate his generosity!
As John pondered the work he had ahead of him, he decided that he needed a drink. JUST KIDDING! (Well, he was going to be driving, after all...
HaHa!) Actually, we spotted this little bar on the way out of town after picking up the car and couldn't resist the photo op!
After we finished our lunch, we came out to find this hearse parked next to us. We were a little concerned that it was a bad omen (It was more that it wasn't something that we exactly see every day next to our car.) Leaving the parking lot, though, we ran into our first Studebaker fan. A gentleman stopped us to tell us how much he liked our car, which just made our day even brighter. Even more special was the fact that when we stopped the car down the road to check the straps, this same man and his wife stopped to make sure we didn't need any help. Once again, they just don't make them any nicer than Studebaker folks!
John looks in through the window, holding tight to his wallet as he imagines all that Tracy is going to want to do to her new car... (Or was he just checking out the dash?)

We stopped in Beaumont, CA, to rest on Thursday night. Friday morning we were ready to complete our trip and get back home. For more pictures of the car after we arrived, visit the Studebaker forum at http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24689
