It appears to be a bit habit forming that every town that John visits, he searches for at least one Studebaker. The 12 hours that he spent in Kingman, Arizona, were well worth it when he found this wonderful bullet nose.
The location of the Studebaker is in the Power Plant Visitor Center, which is the home of the Route 66 museum. The staff welcomed John with a great smile and inviting greeting. They encouraged him to go in and take as many photos as he wanted. Pretty nice for volunteers that seem to genuinely love the museum. If you're into the Route 66 or just love to look at nice Studebakers, this is a must stop for you on your travels. Nice people in the entire building- I believe the county attorney's office is located in the same building and he might have possible held the door for me as I left the building. He even asked me if I enjoyed myself and invited me to return anytime....you just don't find these kind of pepole in every town. Trust me on this one.
The following is information off their web site:Hours: 9-5 Daily (last tours admitted at 4:45) Address: 120 West Andy Devine Ave., Kingman, AZ 86401 / 928-753-9889. The Route 66 Museum is truly unique in that it is a museum of history, housed in the unique and historical Powerhouse building, located in the “heart” of the longest remaining stretch of the 2400 miles that was Route 66.
We are located on Historic Route 66 in the Powerhouse Visitor Center in downtown Kingman, across from Locomotive Park and a block from the Mohave Museum of History & Arts.
The Route 66 Museum depicts the historical evolution of travel along the 35th parallel that became Route 66. Our brilliant murals, photos and life-size dioramas capture each of the groups that have traveled the route that has come to be known as the Mother Road.
On a side note, John notice the swamp cooler on the side of this Stude. If you follow this blog, you know that this was one of John's favorite finds for our truck. Lo and behold, here is one on a Studebaker, no less. The man will never leave the house without it now!

I need to stop and see this place. I've driven by it so many times and have not gone in.
Maybe on the way back from Frisco.
