Russell and Taylor graciously took the day off from work and led us on an expedition to the fabulous Lemay America's car museum, home to several hundred impeccably restored classic autos. We also toured the University of Washington's impressive Tacoma campus, where Taylor studied. During the course of the morning we recalled our days in Singapore and the delicious food we had there and in Malaysia, which triggered Pavlovian mouth watering for Roti and other Malaysian culinary fare, prompting us to visit a Malaysian restaurant in Belleview, where enjoyed a delicious meal and got our Roti "fix" . Afterwards, we visited Russ's and Tay's lovely new home and were impressed by how quickly they and Andy have renovated it to their liking. A great day!

1951 Studebaker Champion Starlight 2 Door Coupe

Designed under the direction of the renowned industrial designer Raymond Loewy, the Starlight coupe was a unique 2-door body style offered by Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana from 1947 to 1952 in its Champion and Commander model series.Unlike other pillared two-door sedans that use two side windows separated from the rear window by roof supports, designer Robert E Bourke created a roof rounded at the rear with a wraparound window system that provided a panoramic effect, similar to a railroad observation car. The curved window was achieved with four fixed panels of glass. The roof was supported by two wide pillars (sometimes called "B" pillars) immediately behind the doors and in front of the wraparound back window.

1942 Lincoln Continental 2 Door Coupe

Lincoln Continental was a model name for a series of automobiles produced by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company from 1939 to 1948 and again from 1956 to 1980 and from 1981 to 2002.For the 1942 model year, which was cut short by the beginning of direct American involvement in World War II, all Lincoln models were given squared up fenders, and a revised grill. The result was a boxier, somewhat heavier look in keeping with then-current design trends, but perhaps less graceful in retrospect.

1956 Continental

The Continental name was revived in late 1955 as a separate marque, produced by a separate division of Ford Motor Company, with its sole model being the Continental Mark II. Ford made it very clear that this Continental was NOT a Lincoln. This version was a unique design with the highest quality control ever seen in the automobile industry. High-class luxury abounded in the new Continental, and with very limited availability, it appeared even more exclusive than the original. Continentals for 1956 were among the most expensive cars in the world — with a cost of $10,000 at a time when a regular Ford could be had for less than $2000. it rivaled Rolls-Royce. Ford believed that its price point would elevate the car's status among those who could afford the very best. Despite its astronomical price tag, Ford Motors lost money on each one sold.

1956 Continental

The Continental Mark II was sold for just two model years. Between the tales of dealers turning potential buyers away because they were not deemed to be the right kind of people to own a Continental, and its sticker price found affordable by only the world's wealthiest, the Continental became almost mythical. Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Shah of Iran, Nelson Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger were part of the Continental owners circle. Warner Brothers Studios gave Elizabeth Taylor a custom-built 1956 Mark II, which was painted to match her eye color.
