anyone got any cool studebakers

This is my 27. Its my first hotrod, and its nothing fancy. It has a Cadillac flathead and a 3 speed.

 

Looks Goooood!

 

ok, that one is a lot more than cool... i hope it counts !lol!

 

I sold my last stude 2 years ago, I still miss it ('59 lark 2 door wagon, 454/TH400/9") it was a hoot to drive!

 

A HOOT?

Sounds like something a Studebaker owner would say. ​

 

Somebody PM Pinch on here and ask her to post some pics of that badass Studebaker school bus she's after.

maybe someday it will look like this

 

When I was a kid of about 12 the widow who lived at the end of our street had a light green/aqua 53 Commander Coupe parked on the street in front of her house. I'm sure I still have a b/w snapshot of it in a shoebox somewhere. That had to be around 1967. I remember the car was real solid - I think a good detailing/waxing would have made it look real nice. I was already in love with all cars and I fell hard for this one. I wanted that thing bad! She offered to sell it to me for... $50. But my dad said no.
A few months later my maternal grandpa gave me a 40 Chevy 4-door. It was harder for Dad to say no to that... I had it for about 2 1/2 years; boy I learned a lot about cars with that thing. (I still love a 216 Chevy 6.)
...Sorry to ramble on...

This is my Studebaker...hope you like...

 

I do, and I am glad that it stops properly now!

Sent this one packin last year. 50' Starlight Coupe Champion. Great car...for someone else. If you're gunna spent time and money, You better love it. It never grew on me. This is the one they all want. Hummm.

 

Ya thanks Gimp! Appreciate your time and work....

 

I've got a 52 champion 4 door, not really that cool. But my dad has a 60 Hawk, with a plaque on the old Hurst ratchet shifter that reads "Turbocharged by Ak Miller". I've always that that was pretty cool, would be even cooler if the previous owner didnt think turbochargers were gay and didnt rip it off and weld up the exhaust manifolds.

OK everyone knows that I love Studebakers and I really dig this thread but I gotta say this. I remember when Studebakers were called Stupidbakers by most of the rodders that I knew.

I just wanted to say that and I am really glad that this one has surfaced again. A lot of really smooth tin on this thread. Some of you have set the bar really high. I'll never pull off what many of you have.
