    The wheels, tires and Moon caps are good but clean those whitewalls. Bumpers and shinier paint would help, louver the hood and get rid of that interior!

    Hey, you asked....... ;)

    Here's mine, not cool but a Stude:

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]I went to a car show Midlothian, near Richmond. I had the only Studebaker there, but I got lots of comments. One young guy about 20 years old, told me that my car was the best looking car there.

    This little boy starred at my car for about 5 minutes.

    Here is my 1953 "faux" Studillac. The only parts of the Cad engine I could afford were the valve covers! Hence: SBC, TH350, Mopar front suspension and rear axle.

    Kind of neat being the only orphan stude at the show and having people ask what kind of car is that? I finally typed up a description that I would tape to the windshield.

    Leonard,
    Took a look at your website. www.leonardshepherd.com Looks like you were at Stude family when growing up and Sam's collection of Stude memorabilia is awesome.

    Here's my '50 Starlite Coupe (hood now back on.) and my '50 pup behind it.

    So, looks like the Stude social group forum thingie is stalled eh? I know I haven't been doing much on either of mine, other than driving them.

  13. Mannnn, Studebakers are funky and cool at the same time. The back windows of this midnight blue one look like the cockpit windows of a DC-3 or somethin. Question: Are all bulletnoses Starlight coupes with similar wraparound windows?

    Thanks,
    Kurt

    ps- Oh, and more pics please!

    My Stude truck doing what it does best- working hard. The recent storm did lots of damage to everyone around. I couldn't roll the window down.
    After the wind died down, I found pieces of roofing jammed between the truck side window and the door frame.
    It took me all day long with a chainsaw to un-bury the utility trailer attached to the truck so I could drive it again. You can see that my neighbors house was crushed. It took me a few weeks to cut the trees off of my house.
    Being a Red Cross first-responder, I saw so many miracles and near-misses everywhere for many miles around.
    Even tho my speedboat was crushed and some house roof boards broken, I consider myself very very lucky.

  18. Here's one that a friend and I raced for a number of years.
    Surprised a whole lot of people with it.
    It drew a crowd everywhere we ran it.
    People couldn't believe we were beating the big guys with a tiny Stude engine.

    A bulletnose would be a 1950 or 1951 Studebaker. The same basic body shell however was used 1947 to 1952. The other years just had a more "normal" looking front end. Running changes were also made to suspension, engine, etc.
    In every year of this 6 year span a Starlight Coupe was available. But the same 2 door body tub was also used to make the regular sedan, convertible, business coupe, and in 52 a hardtop. Studebaker knew how to make the most of the tooling they had.

  22. Here is a 62 Lark I sold a bit ago. 259 v-8 with 4 speed top-loader and twin-track rear end, with factory optional Stewart-Warner guages and bucket seats. Quick little sleeper...never should have sold it. Pics of my 53 Champ coupe and 49' 2R15 Truck to follow. And hopefully...someday...a 1937 Studebaker Dictator Coupe, as soon as I can find one I can afford.

    A long, long, long way to go on this one. Just stabilized it and put some primer on it - gonna let it set for 5-10 years as I assemble parts. It is a 33.

    I've got one for sale. I don't know much about it other than it's supposed to be a '39 Comander. Been trying to sell it for $300 bucks and no takers yet.

    That's right "CP". And in case it wasn't clear, only Starlite Coupes had the wrap around back window.
