I have heard from a member of our club that the owner of a 1948 Studebaker in California wants to donate their car to the Jimmy Carter center here in Atlanta, Georgia. A contact for the center has asked our club for help in finding someone to donate the transportation costs. I have asked for the contact information and will be glad to provide that to any serious inquiries about helping out.

NAY!
I will NOT support the use of IC funds for a tax write-off for someone... and a cheap ass'ed way to get someone else to pay money (shipping) for someone to charge money (museum) for something to look at (a Studebaker). I'd rather piss all the IC money away to the SNM for that club meeting room than this idea..... Jeff (hot, sweaty, and po'd... ) Rice

So I guess donating to the Bill Clinton 1962-65 Playboy collection is out of the question.

Call Jimmy C. he still makes the big bucks.
The only way I could support sending a Studebaker to the Carter museum is if he gets burried in it (hopefully alive).

Setting aside funding the shipping issue, Carter is a ex President that owed a Studebaker. Some folks pay money to see his museum, those folks would see the Studebaker, and that's a good thing. After all the Ford museum proudly displays a letter from John Dillinger about Fords and he was not exactly a pillar of the community. BTW, the content of your comment could launch the black helicopters to your home.

I do hope that my earlier comments were not taken at the political level. I just thought that a donation to a money making museum should not have strings and conveyances attached. Museums are like fund raising companies. They spend a great deal of time in the pursuit of generating more fundraising, and the skim (a crude but effective term) is very lucrative. The act of actually bringing historical information to the viewing public and actually educating people seems to take a back seat. Just whose museum it is seems a minor point.

Of course... he did win a Nobel Prize as compaired you..... who hasn't won anything more than the glory of being known for being a dick.
And who are you again??? Someone who changed his name which reads, "Kneel Down and Blow Me"? I guess "Suck My Dick" was too subtle and too the point.

Oh yeah and he basically led the way to appeasement beginning with Iran, gave away the Panama Canal, initiated the greatest example of runaway inflation in the 20th century (to go along with interest rates), and after his presidency notably negotiated (along with that other incompetent, Richardson) that great deal with North Korea regarding Nuclear issues.
Yeah, whatta guy!
