    Hey, Murilee. I think I mentioned this before, but maybe I didn't. That Rambler American you guessed as a '61 is almost certainly a '63. The grille is definitely from a '63, as is the trunk lid with the "330" badge (the 220, 330 and 440 trim levels were introduced in '63, which was the last year for this platform).



    While it warms my heart to see my beloved AMCs so well represented here, I have to echo our Perambulating Entertainer friend's lament as to the relative dearth of Studebakers. Such is life, I guess. If they aren't there, you can't shoot 'em, right?

    @Mike the Dog: Hell, I don't know how or why I decided that car is a '61. I'm scared of changing posts once they've gone live, what with the Server Hamsters Of Fury, but maybe I'll try to fix it after they've had their meds.

    @Murilee Martin: I'm guessing you based it on the DOT approval year molded into the taillight. the lenses were the same '61-'63, so they all say 61, just like the ones on my '63.



    EDIT: If you fear angering Nibbles and having him eat your posts, don't bother changing it. I'll just try to remember I mentioned it already.

    @Murilee Martin: 'Server Hamsters Of Fury' would be an excellent name for a rock band. Catch 'Murilee Martin and the Server Hamsters Of Fury', live at the Jalopnik, Saturday and Sunday only. Fifth caller to correctly date the Rambler American gets two passes and a signed 'Save the Enzos' T-shirt.

    @Mike the Dog: I never, ever go by the DOT taillight numbers when trying to figure out the year of a car. Taillights stay the same for years and/or get replaced frequently. Mostly I go by the Standard Catalog.

    DOTS really makes me appreciate how spoiled I was growing up. My town had the occasional Golden Hawk and DS19 sighting. Word is there is a Bentley I've never seen, not to mention all the ancient, solid iron trucks throughout the county.

    I'm not faulting you, Murilee, but the lack of sufficient Studebakerage is utterly disappointing. My roommate's father owns a '48 Land Cruiser and a supercharged '64 Daytona on top of the '65 Cruiser.

    Alameda needs a Studebaker enthusiast.

    @A strolling player: Sometime last year, I had an all-too-brief glimpse of a Studebaker PICKUP--a creature I didn't know existed. Based on my research after the fact, it looked to be early '60s. Obviously restored, and visiting a NJ McDonald's. Just weird, in the best way.

    There are plenty of these in Colorado, although the number of Scouts in Golden peaked about a year ago with a maximum of six or so. Now I only see a couple around town, and only one consistently. I have, however, counted at least three Willy's Jeeps lately, all within about three blocks of each other.

    I see a Scout pootin' around probably once a month or so down here. The last one I saw kinda threw me off, though--it was driven by a fake-tanned enormous-shades-wearing twenty-something girl. The kind of girl that's smokin' hot but probably vapid as hell? Except this one was driving a Scout. mindfuck

    When I lived in Rochester, NY, there was a Scout that I saw downtown regularly that was super beat up, but it was a year-round daily driver. Oddly, it had really small front tires, and no front driveshaft. I suspect the owner somehow wrecked the transfer case or front diff, and found the simplest possible solution to the problem.

    What a wonderfully/hideously '70s color-combo.. who knows, the guy might even get around to painting the top before all the green wears off the body- being Cali, I guess he has a bit more time to decide than he would here.


    When I was a kid, the IH Scout was the plowrig of choice (except among real oldtimers, who prefered the '50s-vintage Willys Jeep pickups and wagons), but at some point, the Scouts all disappeared..


    Or so I thought until last fall, when I found two Scouts within a week and ten miles of each other.

    ahhhh, I've tried the Tilt Shift website as well, very cool indeed. While I'm not a big fan of Photoshop, I have been trying to get my arms around GIMP. It's going to take a lot more time than I have to get proficient, I'm afraid to say.


    By the way, I think the reason for all the Alameda Scouts might have something to do with it's history with the US Navy. Am I way off base here? (pun intended)

    @TV's Paul Y.: The only thing about GIMP that really drives me apeshit is the "many windows" thing - you bring up a browser window, then bring up Photoshop, all your windows are at the forefront with a distraction-clearing background. On the other hand, if you bring up a browser window and then bring up GIMP, then bring up each toolbar separately, then bring up each workpiece... FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Without multiple desktops, it's really worth the $0 one pays for Photoshop.

    @FstrPssycw: See, I actually do have multiple monitors at home. I agree, though GIMP is really horrible with one monitor. It's a great piece of software, but the UI sorta sucks.


    On the other hand, there's a plugin for it that is supposed to make it look like Photoshop. I haven't used it, but it might be worth a try.

    Sweet. Looks pretty good and straight for a Scout of that age. Most of these have seen serious off road use and are all beat up. Little rust, and what seems to have been a very bad radiator. This one's paint looks like it has enough patine to use it as emery cloth.


    A friend has the convertible version. The top is immense and difficult to put up properly, but makes for a great ride with it down.
