My grandfather never could bring himself to sell his ‘37 Studebaker. It was his first car, and the one that he dated my grandmother with. He was a cook in the army in the early ‘50’s. He says that he drove over the passes to visit her, but never over 45 mph. Those were Blewett and Snowqualmie passes, which I’m sure were pretty sketchy back then. Not surprised that people formed bonds with those cars, the way they had to constantly look after them, and not run them too hard.
