    Congrats...Thats a rare item. I junked hundreds of cars back in the 70's and 80's and never even SAW one of those.
    Guess it wasnt a big seller back then,having to compete with the likes of the Mustangs and the 396 Chevelle's,GTO's and 442...etc...

    Its uber cool , in the UK license plates that form anyones initials get sold as "personalised" plates , i know they are not really , it's interesting here in the US how many genuine personalised plates there are and the formats allowed.My brother paid something like 10k for a typical UK plate just because it had all 3 initials correct and 123 numbers.

    Thanks for the followup history lesson on the Canadian Studebakers, I always liked the body styles of the American Studebakers especially the Hawk and Avanti. Those cars were before my time(I vaguely remember my father's '66 Corvair though - POS)

    Ok, I'm showing my age, or lack of it, but what's a Studebaker? Seriously, I've HEARD of them, but I always thought it was a car that bombed, a car that didn't go over very well with the American public (I'm not big into auto's, though I can repair/maintain them for the most part...and done body work, but I've never worked on a car that DIDN'T have fuel injection, a 'brain', O2 sensors, never touched a carburetor). I am NOT offending you, ambro, not in the least...it's just that being my age (ALMOST mid 20's), I thought it was like a DeSoto...a car that didn't go over very well with the American public. If it's something you dreamed of for 40 years, then more power to you, man! Take care of her....

    With that said (and honestly, I've never seen one in my lifetime), I'm kinda groovin' on it. The '67 Skylark, actually rode in one, as my grandfather got a new one for my nana...but ....this is my first time putting my peepers on a Studebaker. The more I look at it, the more I'm liking it.

    msmorrisine...I have seen the Dart rag-top (similar to the 2 door Plymouth Valiant my dad had as a kid...saw that in pictures only), and love that Dart, but would love it more with a Hemi. Old Mopar......need an Official Dodge Boys Rally Team jacket to go with that one (I had to look up images for the Rally Team jacket....just the name 'Dodge Boys..' sounded cheesy..lol)....satin jackets were big back then, I guess, huh?

    Remember, people, I'm young, so go easy!!!
    I'll come up with something.
  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,856 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Gorgeous! I'd say you traded up. It's good to think about the opportunity cost of our little metal disks.

    Make sure they really pamper this thing during its trip to you. If you pay for regular old car shipping you'll get it covered with road dings, grease, and bugs. I learned this the hard way. My car arrived with a half-inch stripe of grease over the hood, the windshield, and across the rear window. Mine was a VW, not a classic lady like this one. It would be a shame to see a single PMD ding on it.

    << <i>Ok, I'm showing my age, or lack of it, but what's a Studebaker? >>



    Now I'm really feeling old! I remember seeing NEW Studebakers in the showroom in the 1950's, after they had merged with Packard (another very old and revered automaker). One of my neighbors had a 1950 or 1951 Studebaker, which I thought even then was a weird-looking car. By 1953, they had changed to a much more modern style. Blame a price war between Ford and General Motors for the demise of many of the smaller manufacturers.

    Here are some pics of older Studebakers:

    Ambro, I hope you enjoy your Daytona. It must have been a tough decision to give up your $1 gold coins. I enjoyed seeing your posts when you acquired new ones.

    I was at the NY Coliseum in '63 when the XK-E, Sting Ray, and Avanti were unveiled.
    I sat in one of the first Studebaker GTOs.
    They were far from an unwanted auto.
    Nice ride, Ambro.
