Thread: More on different!

Tweet

Looking at my Gallery hits the most popular are the ones with comments and stars, with one exception. Most of the shots there are of my '53 Studebaker, the most popular is the first one I posted when I introduced myself at CHR. That makes sense since it was first and attention was drawn to it in a post. The second most popular, by far, is a picture of my Son-in-laws chopped yellow '53 Chevy, it was posted months later and I believe it is actually gaining slowly on my Studebaker! Now '53 Chevys are a little different, certainly not as popular as the Tri-5s. So what attracts people to that picture? It is a great looking car, but so is my Studie. Maybe 'cause there are multiple pics of my car and only one of the other? The next most popular is the picture showing my personal plate, this one also has comments and stars.

I am planning to change the motor in my car from a popular 350/350 SBC to a 500 Cu in Cadillac. (Having a Studebaker is not different enough!) I have had a couple people caution me that it might lower the value of my car, at least to some people. Everyone likes the Chevy's even though they are as common as belly buttons.

So, I guess "different" only has appeal to certain people, if everyone liked it, there would be more and it would no longer be different!

If you can read the printing on my license plate frame in the avatar under my name, it is an old Studebaker logo "different by design". I like different!
