    That GT is perversely beautiful. Knowing that it's a mere hour and a half's drive from me is almost painful.

    The Jag? Hell, it's a classic - and classy - Jag. That's all that needs to be said to explain it. But the GT, hell. #boston

    That MkIX is a lovely car. It boggles the mind that the likes of Raymond Baxter rallied them. #boston

    @Murilee Martin: Murilee, I think it's just coincidence that the Grateful Dead and the Late Studebaker "S" symbol are the same colors.

    During the early 70's though, a few of the "flower children" I knew thought the Mercedes-Benz symbol was a Peace Sign. Yes, i knew more than a few people who followed the "Peace,Love,Dope" mantra. The lovin' was very easy then. #studebaker

    I knew a guy who had a collection of Studebakers. His daily driver was a light green, mid '50's Stude pick-up. He had a building full of Larks, Hawks, and lots of parts.

    He was a nice guy but kinda creepy. He was murdered several years ago. #studebaker

    @skaycog: Hmm. So having a bunch of Studebakers gets you killed?

    I've heard of going to extreme measures for rare cars/parts, but that might be crossing the line.

    ...

    Well, at least in the case of Studebakers anyway.... #studebaker

    I sure like the message notification they have here. I just came to logout and saw that I had a message.

    Hope you had a nice weekend!

    Later! ;) #studebaker

    Hell yes. Best EOTD post by a mile.

    I was mistaken, my friend's dad's '64 Daytona is only an R1, but hey. Friend's '65 is, unfortunately, equipped with a Chevrolet 283. #studebaker

    Wow, a left hand drive Jensen GT? How many of these were actually sold in the US? After all, Jensen was already gasping its final breaths when the GT was introduced, and under 500 GTs were ever made. I'll bet the fact that it's based on the near-disastrous Jensen-Healey didn't exactly draw customers either.

    The dowager-empress Mark IX was an impressive beast, but it was very outdated by 1958. I'd rather have a Mark X or 420G. #boston

    @Dr. H. F. Danger: I see some new high buck Italians at the Ritz Millenium. But they don't stay exposed long. Probably worried about being taken down by roving packs of feral cabs.

    Also saw a new Bentley on the street in the Leather District - with a Chrysler 300 side by side.

    Guess I need to limber up my camera. I could be a stalkerazzi, and demand that the glitterati stop blocking my shot of their cars. #boston
