We held our Christmas Lunch at the ABC Restaurant on Sunday, Dec. 9/18. It was well attended and it was a great way to start off the Christmas season. In spite of the heavy rain, a couple of very nice Studebakers were parked outside for all to see and admire. Too bad it was not a better day for kicking tires and checking under hoods. Thanks to Gary T. and Pete Y. for bringing them – I am sorry, it was too wet to even go out and take a picture!
This year we had Cory, who is a caricaturist, come and draw portraits of all the guests as we were socializing and having lunch. Cory did a fabulous job and it added a lot of fun to the afternoon
(If anyone reading this is looking for a caricaturist in the future here is his website: www.corycatures.com)
Here are some pictures of members enjoying the day.
Special thanks to Vera and Dave C. for bringing a large supply of home grown and roasted Hazelnuts for everybody to enjoy over the Holiday Season. Much appreciated.
Everybody certainly enjoyed the special day and Linda and I would like to wish everyone a glorious Christmas Season and drive safely.

We couldn’t have picked a nicer day for an outing. The sun was shining and it was quite warm. For the middle of November, it was remarkable. It was a good chance to dust off our Studebakers and take them out for some exercise.
The club met for lunch at the Red Robin Restaurant in Maple Ridge before proceeding to Alyn’s Garage location. The event was well attended. All those present had a great time touring the shop and garage area seeing all the very rare cars. There were a couple of good examples of Studebakers in his collection that, of course, were very popular with the members. It was very interesting walking around with Alyn and having him point out some of the special things that made each car unique. He would start off almost every description with the statement, “this one is my favorite.” Just what any parent or grandparent would say about their children. They are all your favorites!
in the movie industry around town. The day we were there, four of them were being delivered to add some “period correct” scenery in some current shoot. This Lincoln was probably the largest ever made!
There were some very interesting discussions in the shop area about the projects Alyn’s crew of experts has on the go. Beautiful work is being done!
