Saturday, January 17th, was the Arizona Winter Studebaker Celebration in Gold Canyon (just east of Phoenix). With temperatures in the mid to high 70's, it didn't feel particularly "winter-y," but the location was beautiful and we had a nice turn out. Here is Frank ("Frank41" on the forum) and Elizabeth van Doorn's gorgeous ride.
This Champ is a daily driver and was towing a "project car" that made Tracy feel pretty good about her Lark.
Malcolm Stinson was selling T-shirts (out of the back of his wagon) for the Antique Studebaker Club, which was also represented at the gathering. You can find out more about this club and their activities at their website

Another beautiful wagon. John is definitely getting wagon envy.
This electric Studebaker was one of the hits of the meet. Even more exciting than looking at it was watching it drive down the road. What a fun and absolutely stunning vehicle!
We love the color of this Stude. It is an eye-catcher each time that we see it.
Trucks are obviously always a big favorite with us. Even better was driving side-by-side with this one down the highway! We turned a few heads on the US-60...
If John has wagon envy, Tracy has President envy. Any year. Really. This car, though, could make anyone drool. Talk about perfection...
An overview of the venue. The chairs set up were for George Gezelius's tech seminar on aligning your Studebaker front end that was scheduled for later in the day.
The Avanti Club was also well-represented. That's Denny Lockman in the cowboy hat, ready to share about his car.
A flock of Larks. Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture of John Pfingstag's ("allstateguy") Lark, which is coming together very nicely. Our favorite feature: it runs! :)
Hey, who does that handsome truck belong to? We were so hoping to get the "Vehicle Most Loved By Its Family Award," but apparently that one only exists in our heads! :) That's okay...we got a really awesome dash plaque to add to our collection.
More cars that actually received awards... :) It's not too hard to see why!
A view of our Winter Celebration neighbors. The truck must have been pretty comfortable seeing as he's parked next to a '60 Lark everyday at home (except this one was a VI and Karl is an VIII...oh yeah, and this one runs, too!). One of these days, little blue Karl will be there, too. It wasn't that long ago that we were telling ourselves, "One day, we'll bring the truck to a show like this!" With the help of our Studebaker friends, we are beginning to think anything is possible.
