Classic Trucks: Other Makes

[Steeveedee]

My first car out of high school was a '61 Studebaker Lark VIII convertible. For what I got in trade-in money when I bought my '64 SS Malibu, I should have stored it in a barn. If we only knew. But I lived in a tract house, and the storage would have been more than the $122.50 I got as a trade-in.

Studebaker parts were already hard to find in '70. I worked for a Chevy dealer at the time, and not only were parts easy to find, I got them at 10% over cost, as an employee. Pretty sweet deal.
