Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005I Just Hate it When This Happens!
Took me a while to recognize the car. This is one of a flock I found in Hennessy, OK a few years back. Milton wound up buying the flock. He sold this one to a friend of mine, and I earned one for finding the flock and hauling a couple to Dallas for Milton. My friend got pretty far along with this car, but had to sell it due to an illness. It was truly a 99% rust free example. Looks like the seller has left it outside in the rain, considering all of the surface rust. But, it will clean right up and make a nice rod. I was offered the car by the fellow that bought it from my friend, but it's too radical for my taste. I can assure you, what has been done has been done right. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/53-studebaker-coupe-project-street-rod-gasser-pro street_W0QQitemZ4573616065QQcategoryZ6466QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem  SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com I sure like that front end! <grin> > I sure like that front end! <grin> Nice, eh? I hope nothing brutal ever happens to 'Sheba, but if the front end gets cratered, that's probably the way to go. This car was to be a dragster, so the intention was for it to loose weight. The orginal parts went to folks restoring original cars, we saw to that.

Oh, you probably meant the suspension, etc. <G> My buddy is an engineer, methinks he knew what he was doin'. I sure hate it that his playing with cars/racing days are over.

I told him I thought so, too. But, he is the engineer. <G> SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com |
