Studebakers Gone Wild!

Yesterday was the All-Arizona Studebaker Gathering, "March Madness," which was hosted by our very own Grand Canyon Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club. The event was held at South Mountain Park in Phoenix and drew in 75+ Studebakers and hundreds of enthusiasts. We were proud to bring both our truck and George to the meet. George had the luxury of riding most of the way on a trailer, since we don't know him well enough to trust that he'd make it the whole way.

Thayer got to visit with his favorite orange truck from Tucson.

This Cruiser was built on Thayer's birthday, just 41 years earlier!

Jilly LOVED this pink '50 Champion and matching golf cart! The owners were very sweet and let the kids pose in the golf cart for pictures.

We've been a fan of this truck for awhile, and now there's another addition to admire. The owner has motorized this bicycle and further customized it to match the truck.
This '60 Lark wagon was restored in 2002 in celebration of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's 50th anniversary. The Desert Ark was used throughout the years by the museum as an outreach program in the community. Many different wagons were used over the years, so it was exciting that they chose a Lark for this project!

It was a great show yesterday! I just wish I could have finished restoring my brakes in time to bring my Studie out. I also took a pile of pictures. http://www.theymightberacing.com/Shows/MarchMadness.aspx
