We have been corresponding with Jim Caldwell (Ozark Trails Chapter of the Studebaker Driver's Club - Jim is from Joplin, MO - avantir1@janics.com) who is a former owner of our '55. Jim rescued the car from the junk heap back in 1984. Today (1-6-99) we received some photos from Jim's photo album in the mail. We have scanned them and have inserted Jim's comments below each photo. These photos and Jim's comments now become a part of the database for the BAKER. Thanks for contributing to the website Jim and even more importantly, thanks for salvaging the BAKER back in the 80's!
