Finally am able to post this thread. After four years of the Studebaker sitting forelorn in the Fairweather garage, I got it together enough to take her for a quick spin up and down the highway. DAMN what a great feeling that is. A little nervewracking at the same time, trying to listen for problems over the open manifolds!

Those are fine looking cars! Here's one that caught my eye at the nostalgic drags at Lancaster, NY last week......

Wow, thats the only other Trad bullet-nose I've seen. Nice. I have now driven her about 40 miles with no major problems, ran outta gas and rubbed the driveshaft, but its good to have her on the road again.

Yeah, I've seen that pic with the photoshopped scallops, I like it! Lots of work to be done on the car, maybe something like that could be incorporated into it.
Mel, I'd love to drive her to the pileup, we'll have to see what happens! Either way, I'm goin!
