Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 20071915 on ebay!
Did you all see that 1915 on ebay??? How much do you think it will go for? does anyone know anything about this car? Man, I could see myself all dressed up like Mary Poppins driving that car around! That is totally the "Cats Meow"! Gonna sell my husbands new 53 truck out from under him and his 23, I want that car! How many like that do you think are out there? I've never seen one, I dont think??? Rhonda ps can u tell I'm alittle excited about it? Very small market for a car that old. Most of those that recall the car when new are dead and you can't drive it on the road anywhere with a 40 MPH top end, push and pray brakes, weak lights and the rest. > Did you all see that 1915 on ebay???

I had an all stock 1928 Dictator and after the novelty wore off and I was tired of driving it around the neighborhood, I decided to sell it. > Very small market for a car that old.

These cars were made in an age when travel at 25 mph was considered normal. Take one of these cars out on the road today and impatient drivers want to run you over (even if you pull over every now and then to let them by). Try driving up a steep grade on a rural road with a tractor trailer on your bumper as you down shift into second gear at 15 mph. With that said these cars are fun in parades and at car shows, when no one is in a hurry. Also keep in mind if you buy one of these vintage cars you will need a full size pick up truck and a decent trailer to haul it to the shows. But, an R-2, rack and pinion steering and 4 wheel disc brakes would cure all that! BOSEG Jim (ducking and running) Turner Awwww....Jim you had better do that ducking and running fast. But what a cool street road it would be...save room for me Mr. Turner! Joe Roberts > But, an R-2, rack and pinion steering and 4 wheel disc brakes would cure all > that!

I think that this is 300+ miles. Karl |
