Grand National Roadster Show

I had tons of fun today checking out the cars and meeting some really cool people at the 60th Annual Grand National Roadster Show. For all of you who chatted with me – thanks so much…it was fantastic meeting you all!

Coming this week I’ll be writing up some of the thoughts I gathered on why we like cars and how we got that way. For now, here’s a few photos of some things that stood out to me.

53 Studebaker…the best car in the show (I know, I’m partial)

 

The car best suited for me to pose alongside in my gold lame’ vintage bathingsuit

 

Most over-the-top

 

Best paint job…gloss flames on suede…NICE!

 

Shiniest! That alone gets points in my book…not to mention the other cool things about this car!

 

There was no burlesque, but the tassels on this bumper make up for it

 

Best headliner. Next up…the glitter vinyl’s going in my Stude

 

Other girl-built car! Sexy!

 

Studebaker sighting #2…two thumbs up!

   Thanks for posting the photo of my Chippewa Green ’53 Stude. It was great to meet you at the GNRS. It looked like you were having enough fun for several people !

   Enjoy your Studebakering. Let me know if I can help any with your car.

     Dick-

     Hey! So glad you dropped by 😉
     Somehow your comment got into spam, and I didn’t know how to find it…thus the delay.
     So glad to see studeute.com. It was such a pleasure to meet you and your Stude! And hooray for it being up and running!
