The Studebaker National Museum is a state-of-the-art, 55,000-square-foot facility that opened in October 2005. The building has three levels and features fully climate-controlled galleries and storage facilities to ensure the best possible care for the Collection. The Studebaker National Museum was designed by South Bend’s own James Childs Architects and features several design elements from Studebaker’s factory buildings.

The narrator is incorrect Studebaker did build and sell the 1958 Packard Hawk all of which were supercharged.
Oops. It was the convertible 1958 Packard Hawk that was never produced. I know they made a limited number of the hard top. With the fiberglass front clip. But the fiberglass proved so difficult to produce in large numbers the car was never going to go into large scale production. Moreover as this was near the end for Studebaker that too kept the numbers very low. But the ones they made are (I think) the best looking Studebaker ever made. AND I'll bet most of the them are still around. Just because they are amazing and rare.
@@ToyManTelevisionI would argue my 1957 Azure Blue Metallic Golden Hawk with white fins (same color as the Packard hawk convertible concept) would rival that Packard hawk on display.
@@ToyManTelevision You definitely see the late 50s Mercury Turnpike Cruiser roofline along with the 63 and 64 Vette front end.
Toy Man Television thanks, we moved to Helena Valley , MT AND MISS WARSAW/ S Bend areas: Interestingly there are some Studebakers here( & a bunch of WW2 4x4s, Trucks, etc. ) ..... love the Studebaker/ Packerd etc Histories....you missed TIPPECANOE PLACE, ETC.keep,it coming.. ALSO, MY Cousin, living in South Bend, had a Hawk ( ? Really fancy)in the 50’s, before getting a Port Hole Thunderbird in 59? Memories fail specifics, ....
Ron Dye Channel thanks, interesting to hear and see more of Hawks, my Cousin has one before getting Thunderbird portnHole windowsin 59??, the Hawks, Presidents, Super Larks are gaining in recognitions,
Studebaker's pickup trucks and woody wagons were and still are beauties to behold !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
😊😊
These are the coolest cars. I'm proud to be an ancestor of clement Stuabaker.my whole family is.
Super history!
That 1953 Champion Starliner @09:30 is one of the most attractive and sleekest-looking autos ever produced!
Right? I really like the Packard Hawk.
Know how much they are going for now?
Thanks for the memories. My granfather had an early 50's Studebaker Champion, I don't remember much about it because I was too young.
They were interesting cars. Now looking back… a great era in automotive history.
My 1st car was a 1953 Champion. Loved that car, wish I still had it.
Love the Studebaker! I owned a 1955 President as a teenager.
@herdfan697278 - My first car was a ‘55 Hawk, with a V8 engine and 3-speed auto, with 2-tone (salmon red body & hood, white roof & trunk lid. Almost got kept from bringing it on-campus because it looked “too racy for here!” To which the Bible College President said, “No, leave him alone - it fits that redhead just fine!” My next car was another $500 Stude, a ‘57 Silver Hawk, but the trans had to be reset. Really liked it, but it stayed in each gear for ~37 mph. So it wouldn’t shift out of 1st in town, and on the highway, didn’t shift up into 3rd until 72. So I drove too fast, but not very long! I think the former owner had raced it. So I got a trans job, and had no other repair expenses for over 2 more years. Sturdy car! Then I got a new car (‘66 Impala) which didn’t last much longer than either Studebaker had.
Thank you for taking us along with you.
Brings a tear to you eye sad they are gone !
Thank you for your tour, I’ve always have liked Studebaker‘s!
Some of the most striking beautiful cars ever made.
Really!!! Love the Packard Hawk
Yep, a 50s Commander Starlight or 40s pickup truck for me!
Thanks for sharing.
Sad that such an industry has ended ,,, distinctive, beautiful and practical design!!!
Excellent episode.
Thanks!!
Always love the Studebaker!
Some of the most beautiful autos EVER made
Just GREAT thanks for that.
Beautiful and elegant cars
Before being able to go to college in '79, I lived a couple years in a NH cabin, worked in a mill, egg processing, etc. On the back-woods road, there was a excellent unrestored Studebaker 1940's pickup abandoned, unmolested, in a logging clearing. Occasionally I pretended to drive it. Eventually the Studebaker was hauled out and restored. A friend's family growing up had a Studebaker Lark. Years earlier, a relative had the famous "Coming or Going" Studebaker. 1950 Starliner?
In 1950 I got my driving lessons in a Studebaker champion in the color light green and crème interior, it was an amaizing car !!
A wonderful family day
i still remember my dad's excitement when he got a brand new 55 studebaker champion. flat head 6, no radio, no blinkers, no heater, lime green 2dr...He got it at the end of the 55 year for a discount cause the 56's wre comming out. I learned to drive in the 55 studebaker.
Do you know back then bringing home a new car was a much bigger deal. The neighbors would all come over the proud owner giving them rides around the block. It was really a big deal bringing home a new car
The Packard predictor front end reminds me of 68 pontiac boneville . the bendix car looked just like a mid 30's Chrysler air flow. The studeabaker hawk one of the best designs ever.
I think the predator is ugly. But the bits and pieces are AMAZING. Corvette stingray. Pontiac. Plymouth. They all stole ideas. And I love the Bendix. But the Packard hawk. Wow!
Certainly agree with you on the Hawk.
I went through this museum a few years ago and they had a 2 for 1 discount ticket which turned out to be the Oliver house next door. The Studebaker family and the Oliver family got together by marriage. This turned out to be a home run and I normally wouldn't care for this The Oliver family for one item invented the plow used on farms. The Oliver house was a guided tour by a very knowledgeable lady and this place was wonderful just a mason with like 14 fireplaces and 4 stories etc. If you ever get to South Bend don't pass up this place. It is fully furnished inside with all the original furniture left there because as the heir's didn't want anything finally left there and it is a treasure just blows my mind. And this is coming from a guy who normally wouldn't enjoy anything like this.
Hi! Yes while we were at the Studebaker we went over to the Oliver house which was not available at that time for tours but we walked around the gardens and look the place over from the outside very impressive
Thank you for the tour of the Studebaker Museum. When I was growing up in the 1950's, a man, who lived in my neighborhood, had a Studebaker (with the bullet front). He was a single gentleman, & a lot of the children, frenquented his home. Thanks again.
The Muppets car!!
They truly where innovators in the car industry. Sad to see such a giant fall. the thing that I love about them, they always mixed art technology and form very well to come up with some amazing looking cars.
I am a "Studebaker people" :) We had one when I was very young;
my grandfather worked at a dealer in Bartlesville, OK.
My dad had at least 2 different Studebaker cars when I was a young child
wonderful story
Thanks
If I found myself in South Bend, I'd go to this museum on a lark (pun intended). But I'm amazed they're able to keep the lights on and the staff paid. Hat's off to them for figuring out how to make this work financially.
It’s huge. A real gem.
I owned a '59 lark!!
Interesting , Thank You
In 1967 when I became a young 16 years old my parents ran across a 1950 Studebaker Champion a flat head six with a automatic transmission. I drove the car for several years and it was very fun to drive. As a child my pop had bought a 1952 Studebaker Commander which had a v8 engine 2 door coupe. I remember it was a very fast car and at the time had electric windshield wipers which was rather rare at the time. If you ever had one you would never forget the features it had. Good memories.
I never was a real big fan of the Studebaker until we went to the museum. We both came away completely hooked. What amazing machines and what a rich history! Particularly their carriage building history that’s what really blew me away.
The Avanti (63) had a hidden built-in roll bar , dash was padded in its formation , all light switches were up above the rear-view mirror to be out of the way , all knobs on dash were recessed ....Dad bought it in early 63 , R2 blown , safest car on the road for years.....oh , and it was the first American car to have disc brakes up front !
I was born on ´73 10 years after SB's closure. I still find it sad they had to close down. Thank you for sharing such an amazing video, regards from Mexico
My father had a 1955 Studebaker pick up truck he bought in 1960 and man what a magnificent vehicle that was. It was light blue, a sturdy, very strong vehicle and he had it for years. I still remember riding with my father as a young boy to visit my relative in that 'big', 'huge' truck as I perceived it. Those were very dependable trucks.
Cool story.
We also had a Studebaker pickup that got traded for a 1964 chevy 4x4 pickup. My grandfather kept his Studebaker 2 ton truck, later gave it to his cousin without asking any of us who farmed with him if we wanted it. Dad and I were both upset about this especially because he wanted us to get it ready to be hauled away. I would have loved to still have that truck. We hauled many loads of wheat, corn, oats and stone with it. V8 engine, unsynchronized 4 speed, single speed axle, would top out ant about 55 mph.
I lovvvve!!! Your videos. This was a great car company. It made the transition from buggy maker to automobiles. Too bad they are not around today. Like the "amusement industry" so many elements and competitors can lead to your demise.
Good to see Studebakers
They were an amazing car in their day. The Packards were true gems.
I found that enjoyable and I learned things I know
I grew up with Studebakers! My parents bought their first one, a 1941, when I was a year old! Primary reason was the Studebaker heaters were located under the front seat allowing heated air to come out in the back seat area. When traveling they could lay me on the floor behind the front seat knowing I would be warm! The next Studebaker in the family was a '47 pickup, followed by a '49 and then a '51! Then came a '51 Commander with the bullet nose, the first year of the V-8 OHV engine! When I was in high school In bought my own '47 pickup and converted it to a V-8! When a Senior I bought my first car, a used '53 Lowery Hard Top! I later acquired a '57 pickup with the V-8 to pull my horse trailer. When in college I bought my first new car! A '63 Gran Turismo Hawk with the Avanti engine upgrade! That car was capable of pegging the 160 MPH speedometer! I owned it for 30 years, how I regret selling it! With the long 120.5 inch wheelbase, upgraded Avanti suspension, and the excellent front to real balance it was the best road car I have ever driven. Even with the supercharged Avanti engine, it would average about 22 MPG at a steady 80 MPH! I called it the "snooze cruise"!
That is some impressive Studebaker history there! Yeah a lot of people never thought of Studebaker is a high-performance car, but they offered many high speed cars not just the Avante. And reasonable modifications we have seen in the volunteers it to 200 mph there at the museum
I really thanks you for this video,of this museum that I might never get to see in person ,thank you so much.
Looking forward to visiting this musium. A future fun times
Brings back memories of my childhood. My dad had 2 in succession. The second was a Commander, 2-tone blue.
What ever happened to two tone paint??? Love that look!!
That was great many thanks 😊
Great Museum, that everyone should see. Thanks!
Thank you guys! That was a great tour! I've always liked Studebakers. It was a great company.
Great cars. Great museum
Thank you for a trip down history lane! Hope you appreciated it as much as you viewers. If our society do not know where they come from, they will never KNOW where they are going! Blessings.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I NEED TO ADD THIS MUSEUM TO MY BUCKET LIST!!!!! TO MUCH FUN!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!
Thanks for watching!!
I've always wanted to see the museum...and now I don't have to! Thanks! :) Jack
Hi Jack! Haven’t spoken in a while how are you doing? How is Marc? Hope you guys are staying safe down there, lots of Covid running around you’re part of the world. Pretty scary. I’ve noticed a few car shows starting back up and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I love seeing the car shows but…… Anyway stay safe, stays sane but not too sane! After all that would be boring.
@@ToyManTelevision I'm going to visit. Thanks for the peek
Loved it, particularly the idea cars....now I can say I know what the Studebaker Museum is like! Thanks! :) Jack
Great place, and great cars.
Mr and Mrs ToyMan, Your delivery is clear and easy to understand plus a great job on filming. . I'd be glad to hear more from Mrs. ToyMan. Nice job on the music too.
I like listing to her too
Thanks a lot. Studebaker trucks are famous ones in the USSR due to Lendlease while WWII.
You said a 1958 Packard Hawk was never produced . I owned a 1958 Packard Hawk back in 1966 . It was indeed produced and I loved it ! Wish I still had it !
Right. They cut off production after (as I recall) 580 cars. So very very rare. They couldn't get the fiberglass parts for the Packard version, so they gave up. Same problem with the Avanti but not as bad. In that case they could get thousands, but never the 10s of thousands they needed. With hand laid fiberglass getting thousands of parts in no time was a trick. No idea how GM kept up on the Vette.
The Studebaker I wanted was the 1964 Studebaker Gran Turismo, black. What a beautiful car. I had an Uncle that used to buy a new Studebaker every year. I got to ride in one of them.
gran tourisimo hawk was a badass ride! Remember it well.
I so wish they had survived! I can’t even imagine what a modern Studebaker would be like
That was fascinating, so many beautiful Studebakers! I didn't know the whole history of Studebaker, had no idea they made buggies and wagons first. When I was a very little girl, about 60 years ago, my parents owned two of the bullet nose Studebakers. They were both 4 doors, one green and one a purplish color. I remember them clearly because I shut my fingers into the door of the green one, ouch! My father was a mechanic so he would acquire fixer-uppers cheap and then sell them for a profit. My childhood was full of all kinds of neat old cars. Thank you for the great memories!
I want to thank you so much for presenting this video. It brought back a lot of memories. My Daddy was an automotive mechanic, and service manager for a small Studebaker dealership in Albany, GA. From the 1950's until the mid /late 1960's. So, I am VERY familiar with Studebakers from that era.
It brings back some good memories.
I was born in 1954. So I didn't start driving until about 1970. I remember my Daddy's 1954 Commander being like a rocket on wheels. That thing was FAST !
My first car of my own was a red 1963 2 door Lark, 6 cylinder, 3 speed manual transmission.
In 1972, Daddy bought a new Plymouth Satellite Mark III for Mom. So, I inherited her blue 1962 4 door Lark.
It was also a 6 cylinder, but it had an automatic transmission, AND a ThermoKing under the dash AIR CONDITIONER.
Woo Hoo ! Having air conditioning was a BIG thing back then in South West Georgia !
Thanks again for the memories. The 50's and early 60's Studebakers had all of the style. I miss them.
Well, how cool is that! You came to my home town! A lot of the men in my family worked for Studebaker. Glad you enjoyed it here!
Really is just like a flat Utah County. Same people. I felt right at home. Didn't think mush about Studebaker until planning this trip. But we we are fans!!!
I went there in 1998 on a business trip. i was very impressed with the quality of the displays.
Thank you for sharing with us, these amazing cars.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing this. I was there 10 or 12 years ago and it seemed like it was in real trouble. It looks like they have improved it tremendously since then. I'm very excited to see their success. I was only 9 when the Andy Granatelli set the speed record, but it made a big impact on me and I frequently rode my bike down to the Studebaker dealership and sat in the Avanti they had.
This is a worthwhile video !! Not only is it a learning experience , it's a fascinating history about the Studebaker motorcar .
Very good about Studebaker Museum. I am from Indiana and we had relatives that lived in South Bend. When we would visit them, as a kid in the 50-60, I was amazed at all the Studebaker cars there. A lot more then was in Indianapolis. Again Very Good Video, Thanks
Started out on a tertiary 2 lane then went to WOW.
Lots of good Studebaker history here.
I’ve been to the Sudebaker Museum and it’s a GREAT museum.
Isn’t that something! We love car museums but this is really one of the best ones. I think the thing that blew my mind the most were the presidential carriages.
I love the Maroon 1951, my dad had a coupe just like that. Beautiful..
Thank you. Will have to travel there
You should! Amazing.
My grandson is a sophomore at Notre Dame. On one of our trips to visit, we visited the Museum. It is a must see! If only for the Avanti’s.
Very true!!!
wow that was a great history presentation thank you guys,I didn't know to much of Studebaker, Gracias from TEXAS.
Didn't know either, which is how we got a few things just a bit wrong.... BUT WOW!!! Now a fan! Want a Packard Hawk!!
While looking at my OLD CARS Magazine just today from the past June.I see a 1958 Packard Hawk for sale, the ad reads a fabulous examplelisted at $49,500..............................................
Thank you Dale, and Karyn, that was a beautiful trip back into time! We really appreciate all that you do for us, every week. We don't miss a single video of yours. We pray that God Almighty will crown all your efforts with success. It's amazing how you fit in the time to make every video such a pleasure to watch. Your narrating skills are exceptional, and it's what has us hooked to the story. Thank you for another job well done!
Hi. And THANKS. We get a huge kick outa doing it. And this year a huge kick that doesn’t leave a mark is a good thing! Thanks.
I loved my ol' 62 Studebaker Hawk. I wish I would have kept it but that little 65 mustang convertible was looking so good i had to have her.......
Thank you for the comprehensive history of the Studebaker Company and how it evolved, I did not realize the company had the long history it did. Studebaker Car designers made bad decisions in the 1950s with their wild designs trying to look futuristic or different and ended up producing cars that did not appeal to enough people to keep the company in business. Ford and Chevrolet on the other hand produced car designs in the 1950s and 1960s that are classic models to this day.
Excellent museum tour. We visited Studebaker perhaps three yeas back and learned a great deal more from your video. Nice production!
Thanks!!!! That’s a great place. We have a bunch of auto museums on the channel. And a bunch of other fun things!! th-cam.com/play/PLBuDn43_eyerhNBRPsy50dHfHFFejRVzf.html
Some of the most beautiful,stunning,styling and design cars were made by Studebaker.My father owned a Studebaker Silver Hawk
(@ 08:52) My Father owned that model 2 dr. coupe with the awesome wrap around rear window. As a kid at age 4, that rear window was my "window on the World". I could stand on the back seat and see everything! I cried when he traded it in for a 56 Pontiac.
But what a great memory...Thank you!
On another note, it seems like a good time to mention that my Grandparents met each other while working as the Head Butler and Maid at the Studebaker Mansion back in around 1910 or so.
Excellent video with some interesting back stories along the way.
Great story!! One of the studebaker houses is next to the museum and used as another museum
thanks for posting this. very entertaining and informative.
Worth visiting.
Enjoyed this video very much. I've owned a few Studebakers over the years. Very well built, stylish and in so many ways ahead of their time. I hope to visit the Studebaker museum some day. Thank You for posting this video and sharing your knowledge of Studebaker history.
Thanks, Ps ,hopefully you got to the Museum……we relocated to HELENA MT…. Finally to the Museum, Mansion, etc… some 20 years ago*(?)…..ANYWAYS, ODDLY, I sort of avoided STUDEBAKERS: seemed to rust terrible ((*esp 1951 BULLET NOSE, around Noble/ Kosciusko County, road salt)…Dad getting my first Car (1954/Ford/2D/v8, customized a lot) in 1961/….Funny, my GreaT Aunt traded her HAWK, fir 1957:Thunderbird…. Anyways, of course, miracles to get some, one the HAWK GT, AVANTI, or Suoer Larks…….etc.: especially in 2023, come to think …
I've owned a 51 Starlight coupe and a 54 two door post model. The 53 Starlight coupe is considered by many to be the most beautiful American car ever designed. I agree.
Truly amazing!! We have come lat to the Studebaker fan club, but they are beautiful. Always loved Packards, but didn't know the relationship. My bro was and early EMF fan, had 2. And a 12 Stude.
We had two bullet Studebaker's when I was a kid. I still remember the "Thup Dump" sound of the clutch or gas pedal as it rose from the floor when braking or shifting and the starter switch on the floorboard.
Thank you for making and sharing this video!
Thanks for watching!!
You did a great job with this video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thanks for another great video. A childhood friend's dad raced Studebakers through out the Midwest in the fifties. My dad told me in later years he was fairy successful. The street one he bought in 1956 was beautiful and very fast. I wanted one🤑. Looking forward to next Sunday.
Thanks! Next week we have a guest, Ben Franklin. Hum....
When i was a kid we used to pull those motors out and put in a huge cad motor. They really hauled ass then. 1st one we did was a 53 studebaker hawk and it was a coup owned by John L. Ball (RIP John). Those days were fun up in The Dalles OR.
I had a 54 Studebaker coupe for many years. It went thorough many Oldsmobile V8 and Corvette engines. Ended with a fuel injected Chevy engine when I sold it in about 1973.
Studebaker was there own engine builder and made an early over head valve V8 modelled after the Cadillac flat head in the early 50s
It had forged crank , connecting rods and camshaft which was gear driven . The block was cast in steel , not cast iron , making it one bullet proof engine that was small displacement 232 . Hot riders in the 50s had some aftermarket goodies available and today the engines are turbocharged or supercharged to get amazing performance from them with forged pistons and larger valves . That’s how you hot rod your Stude , not with brand X swaps ! The cars from South Bend are the living end !
Camas, Washington also was a great place to grow up. The high school dropout up our street put a 392 Chrysler in a 53 Studebaker using a big tree in the yard to hang the chainfall from.
I love those old Studebakers. Those guys knew how to think outside the box.
Great history!!!!!!!!!
Saw alot of ones I would like to Drive and own. Now I know how they should look restored. Thanks, I know where to go now.
We just put up a new show on a car museum. The Forney in Denver. And they have huge locomotive.
Thanks on your "screwing around travels" you carry us with you . I enjoyed it !
Not trains, but darn fun. Interesting. Never knew much about Studabaker. WOW.
SOUTH BEND MY HOME TOWN LOVE THEM STUDEBAKERS
Going through my family tree on my Father's side, I found that Peter Studebaker was my 5th great grandfather and yes it's all the same family and descendants. Its fascinating going through your family tree, the things you find out. Also found out my ancestors made the Leedy Drumsets.
Now I can understand some of the talents that my children have and where they come from.
The history thats found through ancestry "through the ages" takes you back in time.
One more thing I found out about my ancestors, they had lots of children.
Back then some of them married cousins, that grossed me out !!
Fun looking at family trees. On my fathers side it’s easy to find history all the way back to the 1600s. Others not so much.
I enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
Have you seen our other car museums and Colton the channel?
Have you seen our other car shows? We just put up 3 new ones ones Christmas. And another coming in 2 or 3 weeks.
Thanks for this. My Dad owned a 1920s (don’t remember the exact year) Studebaker Phaeton with special genuine sterling silver headlights. He was a car guy, which I inherited.
It’s a shame Studebaker’s went away I can’t even imagine what they would be like today had they survived! They were always in their own particular league
Dan! My Dad was always sentimental about Studebakers too! And so am I! In the fifties our family drove a light yellow midfifties Studebaker to the drive-in movies. We saw the Revenge Of The Creature. And LOTS of Westerns!
A really really American story there.
The 1947 Studebakers were designed with Raymond Loewy stylists working with (or against) inside guys like Virgil Exner, later of Chrysler Forward Look fame. The 1953 was mainly by Lowey. Ghia may have done some prototype construction, but it was Lowey not Ghia doing the designs.
First car I owned, 1951 commander, flat head 6, burnt more oil than gas, loved the hawks, the presidents, but my favorite was the Avanti!
That was a real super car. Faster than a Ferrari
larry wiggin me, too.. Frankly, I am really smitten by the
“special GT, PRESIDENTS, and SUPER MODELS;; still remember a 63? , Super Lark in our area with Classmates Brother( 4 speed , race Model?), and Studebaker was just doing BONNEVILLE.....Interestingly, a few STUDES WERE , Worked on at Factory and Dealers....I,think.
Thanks for doing all the traveling for me, so I can enjoy those places.
You should get out there too! As best you can when you can.
Toy Man Television When I had money I didn't had time. Now I've got time and no money.
Toy Man Television Hi. I visited this museum two summers ago. Now I can share that experience with your video. BTW, "convertible" not "convertable." Thanks.
Here in Utah we say lots a thingies different. My favAright is Weber County pronounced We Burr. Started as Weaver. On a map, misspelled as Weber. No one wanted to say Web er. So it became We-bur. I'll be in ma rag top.
Thanks for making this video. On your next trip to Northern Indiana check out the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum. I visited the Studebaker Museum in 2012 and it was nice to see it again. I will check out your other videos.
Nice video of a great museum. Thanks.
Thanks!! Did you see the Mc Bride shows?
I had a 50 s baker pickup when I was ee the was all agrital the the was in perfect if still had what is b
Very easy to listen too,..Fine Presentation.
They were ahead of their time ,so sad like to see them make comeback
A real loss. Dang.
Ho trains make you feel young again and relive them younger days when toys were toys for us as kids. Back in the 50's and toys made in Japan lol.
Very interesting visit.Thanks for posting. Not many here in New Zealand,but I have ridden in a few,and driven a 50's hawk.Lots of brave pills must have been swallowed for some of these.But I like that they were different and stylish!!
Odd cars. But often amazing!! The packards are all art!!! But the Avanti. Fastest production car in the 60’s. And gorgeous. 170 mph stock! 200 with minor mods. Wow!!
Great video Thanks !
Thanks back. Fun place. Soon we are at the Peterson in LA. WOW!!!
I would just like to say welcome to Indiana. Love all your screwing around.
Thanks!! Knew nothing of the place. Still don't really, but great place, nice people and GREAT automobile history.
