Good one, Earl!

Earl has a 1951 Studebaker?

No, Earl and Opal have a 1951 Studebaker for good weather and a new SUV for the rest of the year.

I know what earl means, but he better keep his mouth shut. Pretend you’re deaf, Earl!

I literally pulled over once and told my wife to drive since she was doing most of it already.

Who needs a self-driving car when you’ve got an Opal-driving car?

Bravo, Earl!

They still let Earl drive?

If Earl has kept that Studebaker running all this time, he doesn’t need advice on how to drive it.

I bought a 1951 Studebaker Champion in 1955, Paid $32.00 and a gallon of moonshine, stump juice aged whiskey for it. Best buy I’d ever made.

the car reminded of my first car 1960 403

Earl isn’t going to sell that 1951 Studebaker Champion. You don’t get rid of a Classic … That’s why he’s stayed with Opal, all these years !

I too tend to drive in a lower gear than my wife drives in. She gets better mileage. But I get get up an go.

Is Opal’s car an Opel?

They say that back seat drivers cause the second most accidents, after telephones.

For the Studebaker lovers, here is a museum I found when visiting Chile last year. Yes, Chile!

Actually a 1950 Studebaker Starlight Coupe, but drawing incorrect as there is no post behind the door, but the 4 rear windows are correct in the last panel. Also, the roof angle behind the door is wrong, but it’s only a cartoon. The front “bullet nose” is that of a 1950 model, not a 1951. Look them up on google images.

Great artwork on the car today! The colour scheme is accurate to the model as well.

And to think I paid the auto wrecker $20.00 to tow mine away (1969)

I just keep wondering how come new cars lack character & personality.
