Getting it on a trailer may be challenging

Restoring that will be easy finding a parts car with the needed parts will take a lot of looking. If you live long enough to restore it you will be the worlds oldest Studebaker owner

Hey, that '61-only fin trim is worth grabbing!

Let me know if you want to sell the bucket seats. Wonder if they'll fit in my pickup[?] A hot rod needs bucket seats, right? And since I'm staying "all Stude"...

A local young guy recently advertised a 61 Hawk. The add said how the car had been garaged kept and ran good. I called the # and discovered it was a car that I had helped his dad haul home from south Fl about 3 years ago. It was in about the same shape as the one you mentioned. I asked him when did he get the motor running as I remembered it did not run and reminded him that I was with his dad when we loaded it on a trailer,
"oh well, I don't really know, I was just told it runs"
He had it up for sale for 4,000.00. His dad paid 1,000.00 and I thought that was too much for it's rusty condition.

A few summers ago I went to look at a 4dr. bullet-nose that was "in pretty decent shape" but needed to be sold. It turned out to be behind a barn and in about the same condition as this car[xx(]

I told the seller it was probably going to break in half when somebody tried to move it, to which he took offense. Then he said, "Oh, the h*** with it, just give me 2 grand and take it!"

It sure was hard to politely take my leave- quickly[B)]

I wonder if it's not getting to the stage where even these cars could be purchased and the usable parts saved before the all disappear?
