Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / November 2005Bought a 56 Parkview Today
Never owned a Studebaker wagon before just couldn't resist. Broken fin dented in front fender and broken tail gate hinges. It does run barely. And stops with 3 pumps of the brake pedal. And a big hole in the floor board in front of the drivers seat. But I feel in love with it. My wife thinks I'm loseing my mind. But I think it's neat. Is there any way to get fins for the back. Or just make them. Is that fin fiberglass? It looks like a variation of the one on a 56 Golden Hawk. If it isn't too badly broken maybe you can fix it. The tailgate hinges will probably be your biggest problem, but I'd fix those brakes right away... anything more than a double pump is scary <G> Jeff DeWitt > Never owned a Studebaker wagon before just couldn't resist.

Hinges, I believe are still available, as of course are the brake components to solve the 3 pump rumba. Tell your wife that she will just have to face up to the truth. Tell her, "Honey, I'm a sick man, and you knew it when you married me"! Bo > Never owned a Studebaker wagon before just couldn't resist.

Carl, Your wife thought you were crazy long before this. <G> Nice to hear from you again.
