Treat 'em right and they are just fine. And I forgive Nate as his brain is a little warped from driving that thing that masquerades as a Porsche...

Congrats! >I am brand new to this picture thing, so let's see if it works.... >Studebaker George >http://studebakergeorge.zoto.com/user/search/barn Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 Looks good indeed, George! Details? BP What a great find ! Is that your garage it is in ? Looks like you got quite a collection or you are doing a lot of work for others. Henry > Looks good indeed, George! Details? BP I did some horse trading for this one. Six banger auto with about seventy thousand original miles. I got it from the original owner who bought it as a demo. It has been sitting about twenty five years and I can't find a dent on it although a small bit of rust is coming out on the rockers. Haven't had it up in the air yet as I've had both lifts tied up. It has been painted once years ago with what appears to be either Deltron or Amerflint; the old time stuff before they took all the bad chemicals out of the paint. All those bad (good) chemicals (mostly cyanides) were what made the paint so good but were not so very good for the painters... I cleaned a small spot and with a buffer it should easily come up. The car will need the usual; brakes, tires, exhaust, fuel system, etc. but is in super shape. The interior is great, too. REAL dirty inside and out, but curiously the headliner is spotless and I don't (knock on wood) see any evidence of varmints inside. I have already had a couple people ask me about buying it and really don't know what I will do with it yet. A V8 parts car comes with it that I haven't picked up yet, although this car is way too nice and original to be changing around IMHO. I also have a line on an Avanti that is also a "barn" car. Come spring maybe I will have a big sale... Trades or ideas? Studebaker George There is one just like that sitting up here in Pleasantville NY, in the Crossroads Garage. Three years I was allowed to go int and look at the car. The interior is perfect, with a touch of mold starting on the floor. The odometer reads either 27 miles or 127 miles. The way the building is situated on its lot, it goes thru too many temperature changes during the day. The entire front end of the building is glass, and the entire left wall of the shworoom area is also glass. When you drive by in the winter there is so much frozen condensation on the glass you can barely tell whats inside. Drive by around 4 in the afternoon, all the water is gone. Good luck with that car. OH, very nice!

Only mine was originally Ermine white. You're lucky, my interior is SHOT, I'm sure you noticed... But some JP seat covers along with my NOS headliner, all I have left is the carpeting and dash/door panels. Speaking of dases, anyone know of an inexpensive way to fix a 63 Lark dash? A guy once told me, I can't remember the name, but it's made by 3M, and it works like bondo. Anyone? I may end up with a 64 dash from one of our oarts cars with a NOS cover. (a LOT cheaper than those 63 repop covers. Matthew (Nothing wrong with an OHV six, but I'll admit, our 289 Hawks are fun too!)
