That's a beauty. I sure wouldn't want a 4 speed or need a Max Wedge under the hood. Like I mentioned, a Poly, 361 or 383 would be perfect. PS, PB and some aftermarket air and I would be set.
How about this crazy Stud, twin turbo V-12, a lot of mods to this car, the more I looked the more I liked on this one
Over the top there.
Yep, tube chassis, Wilwood 4 disc etc. etc. The car had style for me, pics don't do it justice
I have always liked Studebakers. Different and unusual.

That duster was built by a member here. He sold it a few years back. I love it. Guy has talent and is an Air Force Fabricator. There’s a ton of work put into it by a one man show.
Virgil Exner was a design engineer for Pontiac, Studebaker, and Chrysler. I like his style.
Served as chief stylist for General Motors’ Pontiac studios from 1935 through 1938
In 1938, joined Raymond Loewy’s industrial design firm and assumed responsibility for the Studebaker account
Revolutionized automotive design in 1955 with the “Forward Look” line of automobiles at Chrysler, where he later served as Vice President of styling
Ok, I've hogged up my share of bandwidth here this morning but can't leave w/o posting the Willy's Aero-Wing. Don't know that I've ever seen one of these, really shiny and I like the story on his board that his father brought one of these home when he was 8, nice tribute to Dad.
Wow, small world! It was definitely clean and not saying anything about his quality of work. Would have liked to know more about the engine but didn't know what the new owner could tell me

Cruise this thread. You’ll gain a ton of appreciation for that workmanship. And it has EVERY detail. Ross even gave me some tips personally on my car, granted I’ve not yet gotten them implemented yet

Just can't get over how much color matching those 5 mph eyesore bumpers
improves the overall look.
One of Fred's chin fairings would make it even better.
