YANK'S STUDEBAKER


















Since this is a guy blog, we must stick to guy kinds of things. Today we will feature Yank's Studebaker. Yank is an antique car buff who is also Santa Claus each Christmas with his glorious white fluffy beard. Scott and Greg met him at the car shows they frequent.

Unfortunately, we have no pictures of Yank but we do have pictures of his Studebaker. It's a most unique old car that, like most old cars, needs tender loving care to restore it to its former glory – especially when it comes to everything made of cloth.

Now there is no more meticulous person than Scott when it comes to upholstery. It's a skill he learned during his high school days while working at Egelhoff Interiors in Columbus, Ohio. In between doing upholstery, he filled in at the Egelhoff Art Gallery openings where he dressed up in his black leather custom-made hat, black pants and shirt, and served sherry to discerning patrons of the arts. But that's another story.

Today we're sharing some of Scott's handiwork on Yank's Studebaker. Now I ask you, doesn't it look like a brand new car?
