Carl and JoAnne Hair's 1956 Power Hawk, Studebaker      In 1984 Carl bought a 1955 Commander, Studebaker---a piece of junk--I might say. I thought it was beyond repair, however we went to work on the vehicle and about two years later completed it. This was during our "courting" days, so Carl & I spent many a week-end in the garage---- working on the car. We were married in September, 1987 and went to Asheville, NC for our honeymoon---in the 1955 Commander--to a Tri-State Studebaker Convention. Later we sold that car and bought this 1956 Power Hawk, Studebaker from a guy who worked with the Town of Smithfield garage. He drove the car to work every day, but it didn't look like it does today. Well, we bought this car in 1987, took it completely apart, restored it from the bottom up. At first we had a 427 motor---Power---would you say. Because I said Red was my favorite color, Carl painted the car Carmine red & white. It has a red & white vinyl interior that I did myself and am very proud of. The car now has a 350cu. in. 330 horsepower new GM crate engine with 700 R-4 automatic overdrive transmission with lock-up torque convertor. We have also added air-condition, wide white wall tires, and wire spoke wheels. This car looks original outside, but we have modified everything else. We have driven this car since 1988, it has the same paint & upholstry since we restored it. This car really means a lot to us as we drive it to Asheville yearly as our Anniversary celebration. We have won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place trophies almost every year since we've had the car. We are members of the Southland & the Studebaker Club. Our grand-daughter, Brittney, has been going to these events with us since she was almost 2 years old, she will be 18 in September. If all goes well,  one day the car will be hers. Thanks, Jo Anne

John Adler's 1959 4-door H.T. Edsel I bought this beautiful 1959 Edsel in 2003 in Hesperia California.  It's a 4 door H.T. and it's painted Aqua with a white roof and side spear.  The interior is tan cloth and vinyl with tan carpet which is original.  Under the hood is an 8 cylinder 361 cu.in. 306 HP, FE with 3 speed FM-2 automatic transmission, 4 barrel Ford Motor Co. carburator with automatic choke. I installed an air conditioner and added chrome wheels.  It took a month to install the A/C because I had to fabricate the brackets.  When I dirve this car to the store, gas station or post office it always gets some interesting comments.  Like the time a man told me "It's German, right?" or the lady that turned to her elderly mother and said, "Mama, it's a WEASEL".

	Under the hood is an 8 cylinder 239 cu. in. 130 H.P. Y-Block with 3 speed Ford-O-matic transmission, and a 2 barrel holley carburator with hand choke.  I really enjoy displaying and showing this car.

Mike Thomas's 1948 Chevy Sedan Delivery Truck I bought this truck in 2004 in New Jersey.  It has had complete restoration paint, cooling system, radio, wiring and insulation.  The paint is Maroon and gold and the interior is grey leather.  Under the hood is a 400 Chevy.  This beauty has won many trophies.  Donna is in the process of restoring a 1961 AMC Rambler she recently bought in Princeton, NC.

Mike Thomas's 1989 Corvette Convertible I bought this Corvette new in New Jersey.  It is totally original with Dark Blue Paint and a camel convertible top.  The interior is camel leather.  Under the hood is a 350.  When Donna was between houses in New Jersey she moved into my basement apartment and in order to make room for her I threw out 117 trophies and still kept several of my favorites.  I received from the National Corvette Restorer's Society - 103% and a couple of my latest trophies are People's Choice in Goldsboro 2010 and Best in Show at Wilson 2010.

JB & Joan Capp's 17 cars "He's a car guy's car guy." It started 30 years ago when JB bought a 1930 Model A Ford.  He likes all kinds of cars:  Ford, Chevy, Henry J, Buick, Jeep, Dodge and Oldsmobile.  He just recently bought 2 of his 17 cars and he's looking for a 55 Oldsmobile Convertible 98 or 88 or 2-door hard top.
