*(new) car!!!

After years of wanting a good ol' car...I've finally become the proud new owner of a 55' Studebaker, 2-door Champion...yipee! My brother and I drove over to Utah to pick er up yesterday. She's in really good condition, the body is nearly perfect with the original paint job - and get this, it was originally sold at a car dealership in Oakland...my ol' hood!
Today I went to work cleaning and reassembling the carborator...which is quite a task. I have no idea if we'll actually be able to fit all the peices back together (the previous owner had already taken it apart to rebuild it.) Keep your fingers crossed! But I'm so excited...I hope she's up and running soon!

And check this out...it almost rivals the 2 Elvis' I saw shopping together in Costco a couple weeks ago...a taxi driver playing a guitar at a stoplight (ahh...I can't upload the picture...i took a video on accident)!
