Bob40's Studebaker Garage Sale

External Since: Dec 10, 2004 Posts: 13

Today was Bob40's, (Bob Reining) Studebaker Garage Sale. Nice Fall
weather here in Minnesota made the event very enjoyable. When I got
there about 11:30 Bob had already laid out his driveway with parts and
had tables set up in his garage. Lots of stuff to peruse and a few
treasures were acquired by everyone I observed.

Some notables in the Minnesota Chapter showed up for some parts hunting
and chatting: Bob Waitz, Greg Meyers, Brian Larson, Joe Barrier, Mike
Rasset, Ward Blomquist and several others that I did not know.

The neat thing was seeing what stuff Bob had so if we later run into
people needing things we'd point them to Bob. Most all agreed that Bob
may have come up with an idea that others could use or that we might
just elaborate into a larger garage sale event, rather than a swap
meet. Talk was to see if several guys might want to bring a batch of
stuff to a location or someone's place to have a bigger "multi-family"
garage sale next Spring.

Thanks Bob. Enjoyed the day. . . .

Perhaps you can hold a Spring edition of the successful event held in hudson
WI in Sept.
