Rare picture of a 1937 Studebaker Coupe in its natural habitat . .
When i lived in New Jersey i knew someone who had a mint original one of these stashed in his barn with a bunch of other rare misc classics . Someday when i go back there i`ll see if its still there and take pics of course . .

Where's that time machine?

BTW.. Was the guy who had the barn full of cars named Ralph?

[jclary]

One of my all time favorites.

What is the car on the other side just entering the intersection?

[JBOYLE]

Great car.
It makes most of the others on the street look like antiques...especially that two-box sedan in front and to the left with the exposed trunk.

[aarrggh]

I`m not sure . It was about 20 years ago . He came to my house a few times begging me to sell my 38 . . He was an old car pack rat - "Barn full , Yard full" .
His place was in Washington , New Jersey . .

Yep, that's gotta be Ralph Banghart. "The Studebaker Sanctuary"... As far as I know, the 30's beauties are still tucked away in his barns. He used to drive them (a '36 coupe for example) across the US to the national meets.

[aarrggh]

Does anyone know if Ralph has a website . The one i found is not working .
Just wanna see if he has any 38 stuff and see how hes been doing after all these years since i been there last . . thanks .
( maybe it was a '36 i seen ) its been awhile .

Love this pic.

[fargoguy]

Did anyone notice that there are actually TWO 37 studebakers in the top pic?
The car just entering the intersection towards the camera is a 35-36 Dodge.

Great photo! A quick search tells me that 'Bonnie Brae Street' is in Los Angeles...for what it's worth.

[Cale Wilbern]

Looks like there's a 66 VW Bug way over on the far left....I'm just sayin...

[studeclunker]

Was the OP pic. taken, by any chance, in Pasadena? That spannish-style building on the left looks familliar. I can't remember the name of the street, but it looks like the one that goes over the arroyo in that spectacular arched bridge.

While I would sure like to have the 37.........The marble 20mph sign would look awesome in the garage.


I attempted a cell phone pic of a "Kansas City" book at Barnes and Noble the other day when I spotted a 36 ish COE in the city with a stake type bed.

The COE looked very similar in WB size as the dump truck in the below photo.

That does look like a VW !
I think it must be Woodward Ave then <g>
