    Last year, found a screaming deal on a '56 Studebaker Champion for my buddy Cat -- also here in Chicago. He replaced the hoses, put coolant in it, changed oil, bought a battery, drove to get new tires to replace the dry rotted bias plys --and drove it back to Chicago from a barn in Michigan.

    He's not on the HAMB yet, but soon...

    I got my hopes up when i saw Jonesboro, but wrong one. My local steel man has a couple '58's he will probably never get around to doing. (Someone told him they bolt right onto an s10 chassis). Also there is an old junkyard in Griffin with a circa '48 Stude truck.
     
  8. Somewhere in the cloud of smoke is a 55 Commander Coupe. :D

    That would be the yard. Been by, but not in. However i have friends that have pulled a 302 GMC flywheel and a '57 Chevy spindle, so I'm going to have to set aside a Saturday (their only day open).

    I'm an officer in the local chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club and am currently "between Studebakers" as we say.

    Started with a wrecked '52 Commander, then almost finished a '49 Champion before another member "just had to have it".

    Hoping my next one will be a '53 Loewy coupe, or a nice finned Hawk, or a bulletnose convertible (now I'm dreaming).

    There are lots of SDC club members on the HAMB, and other Stude folks, too.
