Fresh Paint, Completed and Ready To Show Off!

Dave and I met up in Hugo, MN at the Blacksmith Lounge for the 35th Annual Memorial Day Car - 2009 - Sponsored by the North Star Chapter Studebaker Drivers Club. My first chance to see Dave's Cruising Wagon since he got it painted.

Cookieboy and Pinto Dave at the Show!

So a little work on my "Baby Blue" and plans were made to meet up at the Car Show.

The Ponies

From the rear... we both have the light blue,black out, louver thing going on. We even have the same chrome wheels! 14" American Racing!


Let's take a closer look at Dave's Cruising Wagon, shall we...


Body work and fresh paint! really nice Dave!


Rear interior looks really good, fold down the seat and... room for 2 ???


2 tone doors and panels, lookin' good!


4 speed manual, sport wheel and speakers to match the rears in the kick panels...


Look! at the seats... front and rear match and really nice looking. Also check out that center console.


Dave and His Cruiser! Looking Good Dave!
