Regrettably I am posting this - FOR SALE - notice that I will be selling the best Cruiser that I've had since the last one I took as a "field car" when employed by Studebaker Corp. Looked long (& hard) nationwide before finding this car, bought & sold others, one was a Daytona w/25,000 original mi. I sold to Truett Cathy, ChickFilA founder for $12,000 -NOW STILL IN HIS MUSEUM. (4 DOOR! no POWER STEERING) in order to find one with a N.O.S. interior installed (by Joe Patterson of White Post Fame) correct carpets, new headliner,windlace even the window "whiskers" were replaced professionally & still smells new! Fully loaded with P.S. P.B. A/C (factory) automatic, drum brakes, 51,515 miles (certified to me & believed to be correct) Laguna blue that is described as a STUNNING car that you have to see in person & want the VERY BEST in order to appreciate the quality & workmanship of the automobile! Bear in mind that I was a regional manager (GAVE AWAY A CRUISER ON PRICE IS RIGHT) & we were responsible for the show cars that were presented to dealers in order to get orders in advance of being available & I KNOW how a quality car looks, this is one- so be willing to pay for the best.
Jim Ferner drove the car on a 900 mi trip the summer before I bought it from him with no troubles, averaged 17 MPG w/AC on 20 MPG at 55-A/C off!
The dash pad has the "normal" crack, it marks it's territory when parked (slight) like all Studes, the tires are new (less than 2,000 mi) exhaust new, radio antenna never reinstalled after painting, the underhood needs a good detailing, otherwise the car has been described as #2 and only a few points away from a 400 pt. car with a few minor touches. Was judged @ York in 08 but I do not have the results. (SINCE IT WAS NOT MY CAR @ the time.) Been kept in a climate controlled garage since my acquiring it, never been in the elements since & looks better now than in the pictures!
I have personal reasons (health) that I will NOT expound upon here & my son is taking the Corvette powered 62 Lark hardtop (blacklightning) but cancer does not WAIT on anyone - so today I have purposely made the decision to sell since my wife has no interest of disposing of the "toys of my lifetime" & would not have the expertise to do so, has a new car of her own. Therefore if I do not have interest from members here I WILL list on E-BADD!
I think the posts that were here before on the forum previous to my purchase were 1st posted by bams50 (post #17081?) not sure how to do this "lookup" but pictures & comments are there http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...Cruiser+Ferner along with the price I paid for the vehicle!
