P.S. Did you know there was a Stude Club exclusive to 1953 - 1962 C/K's as far back as 1957?  I was founder/president of "The East Bay Studes" located in the San Francisco/Oakland East Bay Area. Our membership swelled to about 35 by  1962 when the national SDC was formed. Most of us joined the national in 1962 and in later years.  I owned "Black Beauty", a beautiful 1953 Commander Regal Coupe and two 1956 Sky Hawks, one was parts car and the other I purchased in 1962 with 40k miles. Thanks for your time and let's make this roster the very best of the bunch. OK?

Studebakerly yours,
Gary D, Talbert
