Rollin’ Relics Classifieds

Here is an email I recently received from Peter Wellendorf.  If anyone is interested they may contact him at:  peteman2640@sbcglobal.net

I've got (2) 1957 Studebakers; one is a Commander sedan (2-door) & the other is a Provincial wagon. They've both been outside for awhile, so they're pretty rough, but would probably be good as misc. parts cars. They both have the original paint & bumpers; most of the original glass; a lot of the original trim is still there and in decent shape. My dad was holding on to both of them for no apparent reason; never seemed to have any interest in restoring them. Now my mom is looking to sell them to people who will get the best possible use out of them and make a little money at the same time.  We're not looking to get rich off of these cars, just a fair deal.  Would $500 apiece be considered a fair deal?

*IMPORTANT NOTE*: We don't want "pickers" coming in & buying a part here, a part there, and end up with two skeletonized hunks of rust sitting there 20 years from now. What we really need to do is simply sell these vehicles as-is & get them off my mom's property. While I don't know the exact as-is value of these vehicles, I do know they're worth considerably more as parts vehicles than they are for scrap. Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

December Meeting

On meeting for December is on Tuesday the 18th at 6 PM  upstairs at the Senior Center.  After the meeting dinner will be at Stan’s Restaurant on Mill Street.  This is a private party and Stan’s is opening up just for us.  Dinner will be prime rib at a cost of $10.95 each--beverage and dessert are included.  You must let John Dillion know if you are attending dinner so that Stan’s knows how many to plan for.

December Cruise Night

It was great to see everyone out at the Cruise Night tonight.  Lots of people donated toys to the Toys for the Tots Toy Drive, and we all got to see some beautiful cars.  Here are some photos that I took.  Enjoy.

Toys for Tots Donations at Rollin’ Relics Cruise Night

The Rollin’ Relics Car Club will collect toys for area children at their monthly cruise night Friday, December 7th. The community is invited to drop off unwrapped toys, for needy children at the Pizza Factory parking lot on the corner of Henderson and Porter Road between five and seven PM. The club has supported various organizations in the past years with their toy drives but this year the toys will go to Toys for Tots.  Porterville Toys for Tots Coordinator targets families in need, with input from schools. Without this toy drive, many of the local children would have a very limited Christmas. So we encourage the community to come out to support this toy drive. All types of unwrapped toys are welcome, but a stuffed animal will put a certain sparkle in the eye of a child. Cash donations to go towards the purchase of toys will also be accepted.

The club still invites the community to bring their classic, hot rod, custom car, finished or not to display at the “Show and Shine” Cruise Night. There is no fee for displaying your car, but it is encouraged to bring a donation toy. This will be the last cruise night before we go to our winter schedule, for the months of January & February. For more information call John Dillon @ (559) 288-3824 or Jim Gozzo @ (559) 789-0120.

Each toy donation will qualify you for a special raffle drawing of two $50 prizes.  Must be present to win.
