1934 Bendix - Studebaker National Museum

A one-of-a-kind automobile by the Bendix Corporation. Bendix Woods, home of the orchard of trees that spells "STUDEBAKER" when viewed from the air, was once the Studebaker automobile company car testing ground.

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.

Studebaker Birthday

I'm rocking my 36th birthday with this Studebaker Red Ball sweatshirt. It may be freezing and raining outside, but I'm all set with this reminder of the Champion in the garage... ready for a ride when the weather settles down.

See this sweatshirt at the Studebaker Museum shop.

5 Things To Do After You Buy a Studebaker

A great list by the Studebaker's Drivers Club - "5 Things To Do After You Buy a Studebaker."

My only addition is that you contact a local garage that services older cars; employers/owners are a wealth of knowledge.
