What an awesome surprise. "Doc" was featured in Turning Wheels' roundup of International Drive Your Studebaker Day 2011 photos. TW is the official publication of the Studebaker Drivers Club - 12,000 members strong. This is a great honor - many thanks to TW editors' for choosing our photograph.

I love old photographs of Studebaker dealerships and such. This is the first time that I've seen photographs of new Studebakers on car carriers.

I found this amazing Studebaker showroom picture on Shorpy.com. Check out the picture below and visit Shorpy for the 8" x 10". It looks like there are a few '51s on the showroom floor.

The Studebaker Southwest Zone Meet took place in Sacramento, CA this past weekend. Here are a few photographs from the car display.
Here are some great photographs of UK Studebakers. I'm particularly interested in the slight customizations, e.g., spotlights, eyelids (or lashes?), bumper guards, sunshields, etc. on the '50 Champions.
"Through visits to the Studebaker International Meets in the US and the encouragement received there in particular by Harry Barnes, Denny Lockmon and other Studebaker Drivers Club officers, the pressure was on to consolidate all this UK interest in Studes!"

LIFE Magazine released 10 million photographs on Google Image Search today. There are 171 Studebaker images - many of them amazing historic shots that have never been seen before.
See the 170-plus Studebaker images on Google.
Google's statement:
"LIFE Photo Archive available on Google Image Search
The Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination; The Mansell Collection from London; Dahlstrom glass plates of New York and environs from the 1880s; and the entire works left to the collection from LIFE photographers Alfred Eisenstaedt, Gjon Mili, and Nina Leen. These are just some of the things you'll see in Google Image Search today.
We're excited to announce the availability of never-before-seen images from the LIFE photo archive. This effort to bring offline images online was inspired by our mission to organize all the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. This collection of newly-digitized images includes photos and etchings produced and owned by LIFE dating all the way back to the 1750s.
Only a very small percentage of these images have ever been published. The rest have been sitting in dusty archives in the form of negatives, slides, glass plates, etchings, and prints. We're digitizing them so that everyone can easily experience these fascinating moments in time. Today about 20 percent of the collection is online; during the next few months, we will be adding the entire LIFE archive — about 10 million photos."
