Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 2009Cars in Cuba
...anyone see this the other night A whole hour of 'Classic Cars in Cuba'... and only one shot of a 54 sedan in a garage.. At least they admitted to using fork lift engines in a lot of the cars. One of the stars of the show was a 56 Cad, with a large floor shift and altho' they never admitted to having one in it, but it sure sounded like it. was flipping thru the channels......think it was just network news spot on life in Cuba, not the show you're talking about. anyway, they illustrate the "old American cars" theme with a shot of a '55 Packard Patrician pulling out of a parking space. Yikes! They were hard enough to keep running right 50 years ago! and in the US where there are some parts left! But it was level, so the suspension must still work. Would be fun to know the history of cars like that: who would have had such a car there when new......who could afford the gas as it got older, etc. and....yesterday, old repeat on "Tales of the Darkside" starring the guy who played the judge on Night Court........driving a nice '63 Stude: 4 door, white (not a Cruiser: said "Lark" on front fender......considerable chrome so what would that be, a Regal?). > ...anyone see this the other night A whole hour of 'Classic > Cars in Cuba'... and only one shot of a 54 sedan in a garage.. > At least they admitted to using fork lift engines in a > lot of the cars.

I feel that I got cheated out if it in 1959 and want to make it before I croak. Hope I can find a Stude like I've legally had as DDs '40 Pres, 51 Champion, '55 Conestoga, '60 Lark, '64 Cdr and others that may have fallen off the memory disk. Saw a news report about Cuba couple weeks ago. In the background there was a 57-58 Buick going down the street, it had a custom grille and a straight axle from a pickup truck under the front end. >> ...anyone see this the other night A whole hour of 'Classic >> Cars in Cuba'... and only one shot of a 54 sedan in a garage..

They stamp a piece of paper and slide it in and out of your papers > >> ...anyone see this the other night A whole hour of 'Classic > >> Cars in Cuba'... and only one shot of a 54 sedan in a garage..
