I took this picture of a Studebaker Hood Ornament at the Monthly Cruisin' Winter Haven Car Show in Winter Haven, Florida on August 2, 2014. It was on a 1964 Studebaker Hawk GT that appeared to me to be in very good shape for it's age. The best thing about these cars was that you did not need a college education to keep them running. Most people could, with the help of a Chilton's or Haynes automobile repair manual that was for that type of vehicle and some basic tools, fix most of the minor problems and many of the major problems. Nowadays you need a college education and several thousands of dollars worth of electronic diagnostic tools just to find out what is wrong before you need your hand tools. God, I miss the good old days.
