    For real? Even for Studebaker it is hard to believe somebody would have ordered one with a factory blower on it. But, they were hungry for sales and would build to order some odd things if reasonable enough.

    Let's see some pics of that motor, or even better a video clip so we can here the sound too.

    If only 869 were built in 57 that is an extremely rare car. Very cool. Maybe don't do anything to it that can not be changed back to stock to protect the value.

    Bobbie, to post bigger pictures put them into something like photo bucket first then click on IMG CODE and it will say "copied" You can then paste that into your post.
