Nice car, should be on ebay thos weekend: http://stude.com/58  SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 Challenger (Green Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 55 Speedster 50 2R 10 truck Nice car, wonder how many are left? I've only seen 3 of these cars in person, Bob Whiten Wagonmaster http://community.webtv.net/zzbob/StudebakersandMore Those things don't really look like Studebakers, but that thing is COOL! (and kind of fugly <G>) Jeff DeWitt > Nice car, should be on ebay thos weekend: > > http://stude.com/58 I just bought a '58 Provincial Wagon to resell. Here it as I loaded it last Wednesday after 8 years of slumber (the car was sleeping, not me <g>). http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ddstnkmp/album?.dir=9018 I bought it from the second owner. It has spent its life in California's Central Valley. Rust free. Original (chalky) paint. Original red and black (tattered) interior. I really like these '58's. They are soooo "over the top". Not the car to use as a getaway vehicle in a bank robbery <g>. It's at my house in the San Francisco Bay Area. $2500 to a NGer before I clean it up and put it on eBay. -Dick- Gee, that's a neat looking wagon, Dick. Does it run? I noticed dual exhausts. 289 car? Good thing i don't need another project. <G> Gord Richmond I haven't tried to start it yet, but the PO says it ran and shifted fine (auto) when he parked it (I think it must be the law that PO's say this <g>). I'll probably fire it up this weekend. The engine is free. The brakes are still up on it. New 205 75 14 radials. TT. The engine serial number begins with a "V". I think that's a 259. I was told that they only made 2,200 of these Provincial wagons and that only one or two had a 289...the rest had 259s. I can picture you in the car, Gord, pulling onto the show field in Spokane this fall <g>. -Dick- I love to have that Starliner! Not sure if it'd fit in my garage, but I'd love to have it!! :-) What's the bid going to start at? Bo > Nice car, should be on ebay thos weekend: > > http://stude.com/58 It is distressingly homely. I love it. > Nice car, should be on ebay thos weekend: > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > 55 Speedster > 50 2R 10 truck > Nice car, should be on ebay thos weekend: Probably one of the nicest '58 J-body's you'll ever come across. Looks great in a single tone paint scheme. Other than the factory A/C, looks rather sparsely equipped with only a manual tune radio and no cigar lighter or clock. Craig. > http://stude.com/58 The AC was added, Jim spent 17K on the restoration, it cost him $1100 to replate the beltline chrome and took him a year and a half to get the interior made. He know he'll loose money on the deal, but it does look nice. I think the light, single tone paint job blends the fins and head light pods better. >>Nice car, should be on ebay thos weekend: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >>http://stude.com/58 SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 Challenger (Green Wrapper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 55 Speedster 50 2R 10 truck I must be on the wrong drugs, it looks like a product of incest between a '57 Plymouth Fury and an Edsel. Not incest - miscegenation. > I must be on the wrong drugs, it looks like a product of incest between > a '57 Plymouth Fury and an Edsel. SignatureRemove all the x's to email.

As with the Avanti, a front plate will ruin the look of it. Craig > .

"ruin the look of it",.......hahahaha!!! <VBG> a front plate will ruin the look of it. > hahahaha.......hahahaha.........hahahaha! "ruin the look of > it",.......hahahaha!!! <VBG> That car looks a LOT better than some of GM's 1958 offerings! The only thing GM did a better job at that year was hiding the gas cap. Let's just say the designers never gave consideration for a front plate. If you have seen a '58 with a front licence plate, it does look like a tacked on afterthought. The stylists should have known nearly every state/province required a front plate, and would have made an integral provision for one. Craig. I've gotta say, the best looking Chevy ever was the '58 SS Impala. May be the best looking car of ANY 1958 model! Too bad they went bananas with those crazy horizontal fins the next two years...
