I remember when Studebaker came out with their "revolutionary new design" in the early 50's. Everyone joked that you couldn't tell if it was coming or going. Both ends looked pretty much the same. My older cousin had one but we didn't go fishing in it. He didn't fish and my fishing was limited to the hand-line in my hip pocket.
My father-in-law had a Studebaker Silver Hawk. That probably had the best 0-60 of any car on the road. He was a farmer and almost 60 years old and the last person in the world to ever want to drag race.......... that is till he got that Silver Hawk. I don't think anyone was able to beat him. But he'd go zooming up to the speed limit and lay off. Teen-agers who hadn't been able to keep up with him would go zooming past him. And he'd just chuckle when he would tell us several times about them passing him and getting speeding tickets.
Studebaker was really a great car. And yes, we DID go fishing in it one time (obligatory flyfishing comment).
