Hot Rod Stude Guy Needs Your Votes!
Need your help gang-ola!
Texaco is having a Car of the Decade Internet contest.
Without getting into the nasty stuff tossed at me by the stock crowd...
(which should be a thread all on it's own)
I need your votes!
Currently hanging in there in third place, which is perdy darned good for a yellow pos Studebaker
You have to register to vote, but it is just a name and e-mail address
thing.
There's 7 days left to vote.
Thanks ahead of time.

I'd be glad to help...one question, where did that color choice come from? It's unique and captures the eye.What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

Thanks for the help...
The paint color is good ol' GM fleet yellow (PPGBC/CC).
The truck was yellow from day one.
I found some original paint on the inside of a door bar and bought a paint chip chart for '37 off Ebay...
Went into my PPG guy and asked him to give me an 'off the shelf' color to match this (makes fixin' it easier after i mork it up)... He took one look at it and said "That's just GM Fleet yellow".. Whipped his book open and I couldn't tell the diff... So that's what it is.. Snow plow municipal sewer truck yellow

You've got my vote. Love those old studes. Friend of mine use to have a 4door 38 stude sedan. Also really like yellow cars. When I saw yours I thought it looked a lot like John Deere yellow. Had another friend who painted his 39 Chevy in JD yellow. Can't say it didn't stand out in a crowd.Bob

Ok, I logged on and did it. Also found out I have a rich Uncle in Nigeria who has $ 120,000,000,000,000.00 in the bank there and all I had to do was send $10,000.00 and it is mine!!! Thanks for putting me onto that site!!
Hope you win.

Thanks for putting me onto that site!!I actually got a much better deal. I got the opportunity to lock in a price on 1000 gallons of Texaco gas at a price of only $6.59 per gallon tas a hedge against future price increases.
Only problem, it has to be used in the next 12 months.Downside is my local price for Texaco is $2.79/gallon. If only the price would go up another $4 in the next couple of months, I could make out on the deal.
