Several folks have asked for a current picture of Ted Harbit's first drag-racing Studebaker, his 1951 Commander State Convertible he nicknamed Teacher's Pet.
Here is the oldest (and only) known photo of it when Ted owned it. This was circa 1960. (Yes, I posted this photo earlier in a related thread):
Ted sold it to long-time SDCer Luther Barnes shortly after acquiring The Chicken Hawk. Luther still has it, and it is again being refurbished. But today I ran across this photo of it I took about 20 years ago. AFAIK, the ghost flames against the pretty dark blue remain the current paint treatment:
Woo-Hoo: History in The Heartland....this IS The Heartbeat of America! BP
