Original Stude doesn't get recognition at car shows

Don Smith 18 April 2005 13:15:39
 I recently entered my original 64 Daytona convertible at a local car
show. It sat along side restored Chevys and Fords and didn't get
honorable anything with the judges preferring the "restored" and
mostly modified cars. I know this isn't the concourse, but I don't
think I will bother any more with these shows other than to just
attend.

 Don:

One of our local monthly shows only gave awards to GM, Ford, or Mopar
cars. If you had anything else you were out of luck.

 I concur. we took a 32000 mile lincon mark II that was a national
l.o.c. winner to the local show. this was a 390 plus car. we got nada.
alot of guys who really know cars were all over it and we were asked to
show at other places.
don't give up however.we need to show the flag, now. hemmings has been
helping for the last year.I think its up to us to get out there and
show.
I will get off the soap box now. R

 Car show awards have always been about the recognizing the condition of
the cars on the field. If your car was showing a bit if wear and tear,
the judges are going to pass you by. We have several shows in Maryland
where they won't allow any car on the field if it's not real nice.
I'd prefer that the shows have a 'display only' area so everyone can
show off their cars.

 Don - the important thing to do is keep showing that Stude! The SDC
wasn't formed for the purpose of winning trophies, it was to preserve
Studebakers, promote Studebakers, and educate about Studebakers. The
one comment I keep hearing year after year at non-Stude events is "Nice
to see something besides Ford & Chevys". I don't hear "How many
trophies have you gotten?" You've got to think evangelically, and get
out there to spread that Studebaker gospel, OK? If you don't - then
today's youth will grow up remembering Grandpa's Lexus, not his Daytona
ragtop.

OOPS!!!! That should have been Preston the '51 2R, not Jake. It's terrible
when you have so many Studes that you mix up their names. LOL

 Funny thing is I never enter these things because I know that a worn
original isn't necessarily a crowd pleaser. But don't get me wrong, I
love my car, love tooling around town and have had some great comments
from the next lane, like a Rolls pulled up beside me and said how much
they loved MY car! I have gone to many shows and usually just park it
and watch the other cars---I don't like baking in the sun for hours on
end anyway. But thanks for the feedback; I feel like my perception
wasn't entirely wrong.

Get together with the other orphan owners you see at the show and go to
the promoter. Tell them you want an orphan class!!! It works... we now
have orphan class at three of the local shows and the public loves them.

 Don,

The local road hogs around here used to laugh and make jokes when I showed
up in a Studebaker. I never got any kind of recognition at any of the
shows, that is until Mr. Mach 1 decided he was going to wipe every comer. I
passed him doing 130 mph (and still had plenty to go) in my 64 R2 Avanti.
Now, they won't even talk to me! Of course, none of them want to race
either! So much for the DQ night out.

Bo

After getting tired of show politics, I was thinking of pulling off a
stunt like this: Get an old R-Series pickup, hopefully a pretty ratty
one that still ran. Add side boards with as much real junk as it could
hold. Old bikes, bed springs, hot water heaters and the like. Paint
SCAP METEL on the door with house paint. Take it to the national meet
and enter it in the concours. Oh well...I thought it was funny!
LOL!!!!
