Customs Need pics of custom Studebakers 1953-1955

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Norrland, Mar 25, 2017.

  1. Have bought me a 55 Stude Commander and have planes to make some kind of custom out of it. Dont know era yet and need some pics of whats done over the years. Mild and wild is of interest but skip the tacky ones please.

    A proper custom Studebaker. Note the fins. 15078712_10207682523849827_8095714129192973039_n.jpg

    Saw these last year in Canada. The wheels and paint scheme on the red car scream 80s. 20160712_182811.jpg 20160715_174440.jpg

    They don't make great customs, in my estimation....

    Congrats on your new project - best custom change for one is to chop the roof
     
  15. Found an old kustomfrontend for the 55. Its made about 25 years ago. But the owner of the car it sat on decided to go towards a stock look so we traded parts. This is how the frontend looks. As u can see it started as a 53-54 frontend

    WOW! Great find. Was it ever finished?
    What are the headlights set up for? Kind of look like '57 Chevy.....

    Norrland, that front end is very interesting. It is kind of 1950's futuristic. When I saw the first pics of this you posted, my first thought was, neat front end but something would need to be done to the rear to make it match. Now I read that you got the rear tail light extensions. I will be watching this one!
