Interesting! I have an R2 block that supposedly was in a GT Hawk sent for/to the Mr. Ed production.

Miscreant Studebaker nut in California's central valley.

I'd like to see that production order. Interesting find. Wonder how many cars were sent to producers, writers, etc.

I have a "Best of" Mr. Ed DVD.
In one episode Wilbur and wife...and friends...go to Mexico on vacation.
Against all logic, they take the horse (I guess they'd have to or else they wouldn't have an episode).
Their Lark is seen pulling a horse trailer.
Wonder if that car is still around?
I'd guess it was a V-8 and did Studebaker offer factory towing packages?

I had a 1963 Daytona Skytop that I was told had been used on Mister Ed. On the production ticket it said "Hold for publicity & advertising". The car is now in Australia.

Don't have a copy of that P.O. in your files, do you Ed? I've seen the Auto Show P.O.'s show up here, but not something like that.
How about one of you mates down there in the winter season? Do you still own it?
