Rootie,
Is that Danny Oakes in the midget at the salt flats?

 

It is, he took the Balch Offy midget to B'ville in 48 and ran just shy of 140 mph.

 

I would really like to have this truck right now.

 

I'd love to see a picture taken about 10 seconds after green!

 

that must be a parade lap.

 

Hey 10 cars at Perris Autospeedway can't make 2 turns. How do u expect 100 to do it.

 

That probably would make the " big one" at Talladega look like a rush hour fender bender.

 

You and me both! A little dusting of snow is a good reason for having one, correct?

I have more than a dusting of snow. The county where I live doesn't know what end of a snow plow to use.

 

My Brother bought a similar one from a Junk Yard in the early '90s, It had been a 'Ranch Truck' on a ranch in Corrigan, Texas. Had 259, 4speed LWB, never got it running, he sold it to a friend in our Studebaker Chapter, who restored it. I've seen more 'Napco' Chevies, Stude 4x4's are really rare, and hard to find parts for.

 

I don't think I would considering all those deuce coupes

 

If their drive-line parts were anything like their engines then needing parts shouldn't be an issue. Studes were supposedly built tougher than anybody else.

 

Sit in cars

 

I would imagine taking a corner at high speeds of 15 mph was a concern!

 

Here's your tractor Mr. Douglas.

 

My wife just bought the entire series on DVD....I'll be whistlin' the "Green Acres'' tune for quite some time!

 

Take a close look at that field of cars ! Yep , thems all 1932 fords, guess that's where they all went ???

 

We should all get down on our knees and thank every jalopy driver who ever lived because they gave us a Indy 500 champion, Parnelli Jones, and they made the 1932 Ford a great car, otherwise the 1932 Ford would have a modern day, current value and relevance comparable to a 1971 Pinto.

There is one of these for sale. I just got my January copy of the Studebaker Drivers Club magazine Turning Wheels. The ad says only eleven were made in 1958 for domestic service. Completely restored and only $35,000. These are called Studebaker NAPCO 4x4 trucks.

 

Some drivers never raced out of their own state, but they had fun. This 3W coupe was our local champ in '56 & '57.
