Vintage shots from days gone by!

That's what I'm talking about!

 

My buddies at Class Glass & Performance have been making Glass Studes and panels for a number of years now down in Cumberland, MD. Mikie is semi-retired.

 

Thanks Mart, that explains why I've never seen one.

Rust Motor Sales!!! Poor name choice for cars of the fifties!

 

Stitzel-Weller has one of the most colorful histories for distilling that I've ever seen. Traces it's lineage to pre-ACW (to include death of a principal of the company at Chickamauga). Made a lot of private label hooch for Hilton Hotels, etc. Source of 'Rebel Yell", though company has changed hands several times. This is probably in Louisville or Frankfort.

Check out this history. Deaths, natural and un-natural, fires, all sorts of shenanigans.

I see it as truth in advertising.

 

Pontiac Actually. The car had some Pontiac details like the chrome strips down the hood.

 

Could bring down the whole internet thingie too.....

 

Here's a stupid question, what the heck is this car?
I mean, it seems to have a T-bird front, Stude midsection, and a '56 chevy rear I'm I hallucinating? Is this some kind of botched prototype? Reversed Engineers handing keys to a clueless housewife?

 

Yes those had some serious rust problem
I know people that bought new Vauxhals
thath before they were one year old was
so rusted out you couldnt open the doors
and you steped througt the floor
I have a friend that was a GM salesman
and he told me sometimes the buyers were
back in a few monts with big holes in the
front fenders
If you take a unpainted piece of sheetmetal
and throw it in a lake it wont rust that quick

 

Some circa-early-1960's pics from

Nothing really flashy about something called a "Wartburg"

 

packard..

 

Thanks Gary. Still, the Packard looks like it's a transitional stage from a '57 model.
Thinking about it, I've seen weird AMC cars in Kenosha...like a transitional mid-year production from a Ambassador to Matador; Matador with an Ambassador front clip.

 

It's a Studebaker Scotsman.

Alright, we got a winner. The mystery is solved.

 

can't win'em all

 

Especially for a Studebaker Dealer (and I say this with love).

 

Well there was a wartburg coupe with a 428
Ford in Sweden in the 60s-70s kinda gasserstyle
running on the dragstrip

Hey that looks like a maori s but what year

 

Wow, that pic grabbed me too! The mid-section definitely said Stude or PackaBaker, but the front & back looked, well, just fascinating. Glad you guys already solved it before I went off surfing for hours! There couldn't have been too many Scotsmans made. But still, is it a '58?

The mid-section surely looks like it was held over for the NEW '59 Larks, doesn't it???
