Studebaker Stories:
My first Studebaker and
the Girls
By Michael DuVal
After leaving the Army in 1968 I was a very poor college student. Seems
the only car I could afford was purchased from my room mates (ex-Navy)
father for $30. It was a 1951 Studebaker Champion. It didn't need much
work.
I was very active in college
activities at the time and would take girls on dates regularly. If it
rained the girls would have to reach under the dash and make the windshield
wipers work so we could see. I would be so embarrassed that I wanted to
crawl under the floor mats. But the girls just laughed and giggled at
my dilemma.
That was over 40 years ago. And
some of the girls are still close friends today.
