[clonelark]

Never seen this car before,i personally dont care for it, but thought i'd share

[DEEPNHOCK]

A couple of pic's of it have been up here before, but these are much better.
Totally forgettable

[52-fan]

A sad waste of talent on the part of the builder and the desecration of a great original design.

[55champion]

Not my style but then its not my car... to each his own...

[avanti76]

Agreed, To each his own. But what a waste!

[4961Studebaker]

I've seen it in person.
World of Wheels KC...2005/2006?
A more Salmon color IIRC.
And a license plate that say's it all......Done MY Way.

I may have posted cruddy indoor pictures of it in the past??? Can't recall, or find them on the Hard Drive.

A Loewy Avalanche?

Now I don't feel ours is so "out there." Of course, I doubt if this custom work was done 55 years ago like ours.

[Sdude]

I can't figure out the purpose of the rectangular boxes on the back. They look different in two pictures. Anybody know what they are?

Now THATS funny! This 1953 car/truck is just funny looking!?! Barris had a better adaptation design, IMHO. It is quality work, from the looks of it, though.

[paintim613]

Just wondering if anyone has a picture(s) of a Barris Stude custom. I saw one (convertible) sell at a Silver auction in Phoenix several years ago.
