Features Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms....

I just saw on FB that this car is up for sale. It is an Aussie car and $125,000 will have it in your garage.
That is about $85000 USD at current exchange plus shipping and already LH drive.

 

Nice scallops! Haven’t seen that done on a Merc!

Absolutely gorgeous!! The flow and lines are perfect. I have never seen this body style Stude look this sharp, aside from Franken Stude back in the 90s and there was very little of the original car left of that build. Larry

 

I agree with Mark
A Cal Custom tube grill, chrome wheels and side pipes were referred to as a JC Whitney Customs when I was a kid going to World of Wheel shows in Milwaukee by the guys who built real custom cars. But I was 14 and still loved them all. But I still call them cruisers. If you don't cut and french and shave it, it is not custom. Just my 2 cents also. Larry

 

ONE BAD 51 MERC, I agree, that Stude is really cool. Frankenstude was, well probably still is, an outstanding car. I saw it in person at one of the Good Guys shows in Pleasanton CA. Check this one out, I like it too. I knew the owner builder. Really cool owner built car, that is a driver. The wheels don't work here, so I won't post a picture, but here's a link. https://myplace.frontier.com/~bulletnose/Phantoms/P-05.htm https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/rocketeer-studebaker.724972/

 

Graham Shark Nose pickup gets my vote...any know the builder ??

 

That's my old website. Here is a link to that car on my site with some new photos ...

Yep. Not suspension, not do-dads, custom means bodywork. Customised bodywork.

 

Do you know where these headlight come from?
