Cecil Lee “Dusty” Rhoades died doing what he loved best: taking his 1919 Studebaker out on the open road. The Apple Valley, California gearhead who was 86 years-old was found dead at 10 am on June 13 after he was reported missing about 4:33 pm on June 11 by his wife. The man had left his home on June 10 to visit Las Vegas but never arrived at his destination.

After the San Bernadino County Sheriff’s Office contacted law enforcement in Nevada and the local hospitals were checked, turning up nothing, tips from the community poured in. None of those panned out. Finally, a CHP officer spotted the Studebaker on the side of Interstate 40 about 30 miles west of Needles. However, the Horseless Carriage tags on the car made it difficult for the officer to pull up to whom the car belonged.
