Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / October 2004First Picture of my car
If anyone has read anything I've sent to the newsgroup and made it to the end you will see that I have a 57 Broadmoor. This is the first picture of it and from now on I'll be keep an online pictorial diary of "before and after" pictures. The picture below is the day my Dad and I went and picked it up. It was rainy, chilly and I know I at least was soaked to the bone. On a bright note though we didn't have to take it to the car wash to get the grime off of it and thanks to my Dads "never buy a car and not get it running the first day" motto it was running within about 4 hours and idling perfectly. Here's what we're doing this weekend: the new gas tank and fuel lines get installed and my new Edelbrock 1403 goes on it. Before we crank it again though I'll put new radiator hoses and change the fluids. I'm hoping we can get started on the brakes Saturday too. I've decided I'm just going to go ahead and put disks all the way around even though I have power assist. That reminds me, I had better order what I need for that project so I don't have too much down time. I'm not restoring this car. This is going to be a custom project of sorts. Let's see if my wallet can match my dreams. I hate when I write checks my a.s can cash so I'll keep quiet about my plans until we do them. Damn I'm excited............ Thanks in advance for all of your help Dad. Now GET THAT SHOP BUILT! http://community.webshots.com/user/painterprolee Lee Skelly '57 Broadmoor http://www.georgiastudebaker.com Gosh, Lee!! That's gorgeous!!! That car reminds me of one owned by a family friend when I was a kid. Almost the same colors and scheme IIRC. Cool car, Lee! Any chance of seeing it in person at the next meeting? Studebaker George That is one cool ride! My wife and I just brought home a 57 Provencial about a month ago. Looks like your wagon needs less work than ours. Disks, and dual master are first on our list as well. Keep us posted. > If anyone has read anything I've sent to the newsgroup and made it to the end > you will see that I have a 57 Broadmoor.

Your wagon is very nice and will cut a fine figure there in Georgia. Bob Miles Tucson AZ That car reminds me of one owned by a family friend when I was a kid. Almost the same colors and scheme IIRC.

I wont have the new brakes on it for about 2 weeks (crossing fingers). But then after that I plan on driving it to our club meetings while I fix it up. I've loved wagons since my mom got her Vega wagon back in the 70's, lol. I've been wanting one for years and this one came along. I'm thrilled to have this and not be stuck with something (chevy wagon) that everyone restores.
