yes, heard that many of the GM concept & ex cars were to be sold......and that is has nothing to do with their financial condition (yeah, right)........interesting to speculate how some of those cars will go to museums......others will disappear from sight, only to be discovered in years to come in all stages of preservation: lots of future magazine articles!
(boring side story for those with any interest in Studebakers & Packards: as they were going broke in '56, the Packard folks had designed a line of new models.....an all-new underbody that was to be shared by Packard, Clipper, Studebaker on various wheelbases... all sources say that only one rough "mule" prototype of the Packard version was built, then destroyed when they shut down the factory. Yet, many years later, maybe around 1990, I attended an auction in South Bend......where they sold-off a completely finished, running example of the Studebaker version. don't know who got it....never saw a mention of it in any magazine before or since.....yet it exists somewhere).
consider yourselves lucky to have Speedchannel: I'm in north central Ohio...."Armstrong Cable"......about $45/month for basic which includes no more than TMC, History and the like along with 5 shopping channels........optioned-up with a few premium channels and we pay close to $100.....and most channels you take for granted still aren't available. (so a lot of folks go with dish....unfortunately, I'm in a state forest and can't use)
