Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / October 2004Yikes! I listed my '39CE on eBay!
Well gentlemen, I did it. It's here: http://tinyurl.com/55dyq My reserve is so high ($34,900 - that's what I have in her) that IF she sells she will most likely go to a non-Stude person, given our "frugal" reputation.<g> Let's see what happens. My bet - she won't top ......well, you never know.... Oh, any recommendations to improve the ad would be appreciated (that's constructive recommendations <g>). Finally, any & all bids deeply appreciated!<LOL> Cheers, Jim Beauuuuuutiful truck. Wish I had the money to pay for it. Anyone with plenty of money want to adopt a 55 year old son ?

Oh, sure it is!<g> Joe (did you see the NC inspection thread) Roberts I have no idea why, but on my screen the top (front view) photo shows a very different set of grilles than all of the other shots.

Suggestion......get some interior and under hood shots in there and you'll sell it if that looks as good as the rest...oh ya one of the box bed too 2 things- -I have no idea why the eBay 1st photo distorts the front grilles for some reason.They are stock like the rest of the car. -I've loaded a ton of photos including the interior & under the hood. I wonder if I loaded too many & eBay cut them off? They all show on my screen.... -anyone try to view the wigwag light video? Does it work( the video) ? > Suggestion......get some interior and under hood shots in there > and you'll sell it if that looks as good as the rest...oh ya one of the box bed too Absolutely Beautiful Coupe Express!!!!!!!!!!

A buyer could actually hear an engine run & see if it smoke & also see & hear it drive down the road. Unique approach & the first time I saw it on an eBay auction. Wonder how far you could take the concept? What are those lights supposed to wig-wag for? I thought it was cool but never heard of them before & am curious of there function. Best of luck on your auction.

I thought it was cool but Itwas copied from early RR crossing signs. Somebody discovered that moving or flashing lights drew attention. if you look carefuly the light is based on a brakemans lantern from trains. A brakeman would wave his lantern sideways to indicate a signal to the engineer. The movement of the wig-wag tailight is the same. Before crossbucks and crossing gates, railroads like the SP and UP used Wig-Wags, and many Interurban Companies used them when their tracks which were in heavy use used them. I have a photo of a Wig-Wag that was used by an InterUrban company to protect its crossing from on comming trolley cars.

A "0" feedback bidder is currently the high bidder on my CE! Probably some pimple-faced 15 year old just surfin the net & dreamin'. No wait....were talkin' Studes here. Must be some old geezer who can't see well enough to realize he bid $28,100 & not $2810.00. And, he probably thinks he's overpaying at that price!<g> If it was, he's likely have put in a silly bid and hit your reserve and any bids over 15K have to come from a valid e-mail address, not a free hot mail for example. > _hit!
