    I think I should have posted the photo directly on the page.

      Well, it can't be a period publicity photo of some type because there is a Lark in the background, so the wagon is at least 2 years old. And besides, only Classic sedans had the chevrons on the quarter panels, although I agree they look appropriate on the Broadmoor.

      Beyond that, you've got me, Dick. BP

        The rocker mouldings aren't production, and the roof rack is a different style than mine.

        But that is a stunning car.

          Personally, I like the Econo-Mono-Deflecto dual exhaust trim option, having only one tail pipe "deflected."

          (A real sleeper; trying to make some poor schlock with a base-engine 1957 Nomad think "The Pres." is exhaling through a single windpipe!) <GGG> BP

            Ah-Ha! It may have been taken at The Studebaker Proving Ground soon after Studebaker discontinued South Bend production. That's because you can barely see what appears to be a fuzzy Studebaker Wheel brick fence post topper at the extreme left edge of the center of the photo.

            So what's the prize? BP

              Dats PURDY! <sigh>
              No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

                Probably the 1974 International Meet? There's what looks to be a first-generation shoe-box Winnebago, either a 'Brave' or 'Indian' in the background. And there appears to be an ASC membership sticker in the lower corner of the rear quarter window, and that club was formed in 1971.

                  That rocker trim looks almost like whats on a '61 Cruiser. Either way, I love that car!

                    The rocker trim, if Studebaker, I'd guess is from a GT Hawk.

                    I like it enough that I'm going to see if I have any GT rocker trim for my own wagon. I'm already thinking about stainless GT Hawk headliner bows, I've got a pile of those..

                      Mr. Quinn, could you email me a larger version of that picture?

                        The image emailed direct.

                        Actually I took that photo at the Gettysburg Intl meet in 1980. I do not know the owner or what happened to the car.

                          Any idea, then, what he wheel-looking object might be along the left side of the image, Dick? It sure looks like a cast Proving Ground Studebaker Wheel, albeit terribly fuzzy. BP

                            Nice, stunning 57 Brodmoor. Hope it has survived.

                              If the photo was from 1980, I'd say those whitewalls were applied about 25 years later, a la photoshop.
                              Beautiful car.
