1910 Studebaker.

[davepink53]

I haven't built a model car kit for 48 years (when I was 12yo).
I was a bit bored last weekend and decided to build this 1910 Studebaker Electric that I had laying around. It only had 14 parts to it, but I still rushed it! lol. Probably be another 48 years before I do another.

Looks pretty good from here. You should try another.

Dave, we have a member in our club who builds scale model trains (the ones you can sit on and ride around the park). He has been writing to the SNM for specs and measurements so he can scratch build a replica of the 1906 Studebaker that's in the museum. How cool would it be to see that thing turn up at a future National Meet?

I like it!

About Chris' post, I think I'd be as likely, or more likely to contribute to a SNM project re-creating even non-running replicas of some of Studebaker's very early cars as I would to restore newer ones.

Very nice!
A friend here in St. Louis has a 1920 Detroit Electric in green and black, with a fake radiator to make it look more "normal.".
Its a front seat/rear seat closed car with dual tillers, front and back.
Apparently back in the day it was common to steer from the rear so that the paessengers could have the better view!

Good job! I've had one of those kits for over 20 years and maybe now I'll be inspired to actually build it.

If the car was driven from the back seat, then the passenger was between the driver and the accident!

I have that same model on my work table. Now I'm inspired to finally build it. Yours looks great.
