Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 200554 coupe interest
The 54 coupe Sal and I have on ebay seems to be generating more interest then I've ever had. We have 154 'watchers' that book marked the listing, and I've had a few dozen e-mails and phone calls. It just made the 10K reserve, so the Buy It Now went away, but I suspect some late bidding. (about a hour left) It's baout time the C-K's caught on. It's here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Studebaker-Champion-54-Studebaker-Starlight-Coupe -61-Hawk-V8-drive-line_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6466QQitemZ4567337532 JP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 R2 4 speed Challenger (Plain Wrapper) 64 Challenger (Plain Wrapper ?) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 63 GT Hawk OD. 61 Hawk 54 Starlight That sure is a beautiful car.

Matthew (you're so lucky Pat, I'm gonna have one just like it someday. Mine will have different carpet though...)

A real one. Could even be a Bill Frick Studillac. I sure hope so. Talk to Pat, I'm sure he could post some. I was gonna take some of it before we loaded it onto the trailer, but the batteries in his camera was dead... Matthew > Studillac?

Easy to tell, once you see the way he did the 12 volt conversion with lots of big wire wound resistors. > Yep. A real one. Could even be a Bill Frick Studillac.

Also, it should have Studillac script on the fenders (I think) and a 160 speedometer with a tach where the clock normally goes on a Commander. If it is an automatic, it will be the old Hydramatic (no Park position). Paul Johnson It is 12 voltes, but doesn't have Studillac wrote on it anywhere. It also has manual tranny. Didn't notice the guages. > > If it's a real Studillac, it has to be a Bill Frick car.

It will probably have a rear oil pump, so push starts are possible. Might it be a four speed Hydro? Karl Karl, If it didn't have a Park position, it was a 4 speed Hydramatic. I had a '56, and later, a '62 Caddy, and both had 4 speed Hydramatics, and both had "Park". Which means that, given there was no prior 3 speed Hydramatic, any made sans the "park" feature had to be 4 speeds. Elementary, my dear Watson. And, gee, I really liked those trannies. Studebaker should have bitten the bullet and bought Hydros from GM. Very economical. Gord Richmond FWIW: My 1951 Olds had a hydramatic, which I think was 3 speed, and had no Park. The '55 Willys Bermuda was 4 speed, w/o "P" Both could be push started. Uncle Joe's '40 Olds had no "P". Karl |
