Have this cover hanging up , and like to think it was the start of Hot rod ,bringing back Studebakers in the magazine , because the years that followed ,saw more studes featured. Have a Bless Day....................."JULY 1990"...............................So I just found the Hot rod issue , when was the last time you saw a Studebaker on the cover of HOT ROD magazine ? welcome to the Dare to be different 1990's . John Carter has built a new American Classic street Machine with his ' 50 bullet-nose Pro Street Studebaker and it deserves nothing less than the cover of HOTROD .

I think that car was sold in Tucson by Lew Dandurand in an unrestored condition to the guy, whose name escapes me, that built that car. I can't see the cover color of the car, but I think it was pinkish color. It was subject to some commentary but another member (who shall remain nameless) sold a 50 Champion convertible to the same guy, who did the same thing. That was subject to much commentary, mainly because the PO knew he sold it to a hot rodder, but said he did not know that was the case.

Heck of a lot more fun, to hang with folks who will compliment style and good workmanship, rather than trounce your efforts because the only thing they can focus upon is that you have a 'wrong' side view mirror, or the 'wrong' year grill mesh, or are missing the 'proper' emblem, implying that you need to 'correct' your car and make it 'right' to be one of them.
Any creative rodder who experiences that kind of downer reception even once, will not be inclined to repeat it. Especially if there are half a dozen big hot rod events going on at the same time from which to choose.
I hate to say it, but all to often, there seems to be a Studebaker clique that often not too subtly broadcasts 'You are NOT welcome here.'Last edited by Jessie J.; 12-04-2015, 08:50 PM.

Oh, those colors and "graphix"! It's that part of the '80s that wrapped into the early '90s!1963 Champ "Stu Bludebaker"- sometimes driver
1957 Silver Hawk "Josie"- picking up the pieces after an unreliable body man let it rot for 11 years from an almost driver to a basket case
1951 Land Cruiser "Bunnie Ketcher" only 47M miles!
1951 Commander Starlight "Dale"- basket case

I do have an extra copy of that magazine at $5. Would also sell you the large 21 1/2 X 16 1/2" poster (see image below) for another $8. Add for postage.

Notice pics are always from the front not the rear.
I'm referring to the car here.
That's what I like about my hard top conversion.
