Congratulations on making the cover. I love this magazine and one of my Studebaker club did make it into a story about his 1958 Studebaker Scotsman. But not a cover shoot. Looking forward to reading your travails with this car. Bob
This issue was over a year in planning, we knew we wanted to “do it right” . I was very pleased the way it turned out. Things got a bit tricky - the deadline for my story was when I had to be at a CCCA National Board meeting in Michigan! The story of the restoration car will be in a future issue of Hemmings Classic Car. Thanks to all for your kind comments.
