Nope - not me Matthew! I WISH![]

I CAN say that the left rear fender on that Geisler-Banks car came from my stash about 2 years ago.

You're right, it does look out of place, so I removed it. I just liked the look of it; like it'd just been drug in from a junk yard.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the only fast "Stude" in
that bunch is "1963", the rest are Chevies in Stude clothing.

Perhaps "4594" also.

You may be right, but they all at least resemble Studes. That's something, right?

Yep...for some reason, there are not too many '53 Chevy's running at Bonneville [)]. That '53-54 Stude shape is pretty special. They are still Studebakers to everybody watching it go down the course.[8D]

Thanks for the pics, Matt! That white pickup is so 'today' retro-looking, I'll bet that style would be hot if someone produced it.

You're right, it doesn't really have that "Bonneville" look.

[:0][] Pretty COOL!!!! BTW, anyone know about a website with details about turbocharging a Stude flat head six? I might try that sometime... [8D]

The Salt to Salt Stude(blue coupe)is "4594", I thought I recognized it
from a post on Racing Studebakers.

Not sure whats in "646", but it looks to be an Avanti II body.
