Campbell River man drives his 1927 Studebaker to his 90th birthday

Dave Proctor picked up his 1927 Studebaker in 1957 when he spotted it hidden at the back of a car lot in Victoria.

Everyone said he wouldn’t be able to get it running again, but he was determined to beat the odds.

A member of the Vintage Car Club, Proctor drove his 91 year old car to his 90th birthday party on Saturday afternoon.
