    The car was sold in the mid-1990s. It changed hands a few times and I believe it's in the Charlotte area. Before it was sold dad rounded all the corners, molded side pipes, 53 Studebaker side trim, new two tone paint and hydraulics front and rear. Here's a picture of it I found on the internet.

    Thank you! That car just has "The Look". The cars that look like they rolled out of the early 50's are my choice.
