Sad Loss for Studebaker Family

"Ed Reynolds, a longtime friend of Phil Brown's, wonders if the pleasant weather on Sunday prompted the 60-year-old Osceola resident to bring his 1967 Avanti out of storage for the first time this year.

Sadly for Reynolds and Brown's many other friends and acquaintances, it would be the last.

Brown was killed about 3:30 p.m. as he was heading east on Dragoon Trail, near the intersection with Blackberry Road, when his car left the roadside and rolled, ejecting him."

Our condolences to Phil's family. Full article here.

1953 Studebaker Commander - Studebaker Stories

A great little Studebaker story on TampaBay.com:

"We were just married in August 1953 in Princess Anne County, Va. (now Virginia Beach) during the Korean War and wanted to make our first car a memorable one even though we were living on a U.S. Navy enlisted man's pay. It cost more than $ 2,000, but the salesman convinced us that it was probably the most beautiful car around. It was a hardtop convertible V-8 with overdrive, a "hill-holder" and a red and white leatherlike interior ..."
