    Here is mine. I thought I had a real good start five years ago. Soon after the first picture I realised all I had was a dream. Thank God for the Hamb it has kept me interested and moving forward.

    Flamed58, Your 1942 Studebaker has to be one rare bird. I have never seen one. Have you checked to see how many are out there.I would guess very few.Keep us posted on the progress of your restoration.Thanks to everyone for sharing. m.ralph
