    Well...as always, we need to read these posts carefully. As soon as I noticed "8:00" PM...I set "record" and totally ignored the "central" time zone part. So, now, to be sure, I'm recording two hours.

      Okay, I set my DVR to record this episode. If I am home I usually watch this show anyway. They have had Studebakers on their show surprisingly often. Frank even bought one once but he paid too much for it. Thanks for the heads up.

        The guys find themselves in Studebaker heaven, and visit a designer with the rarest collection in the Midwest.


        Hopefully the full episode will be posted online. Jim purchased my 60 Champ this summer so I'll be sure to watch. Thanks for the heads up.

              How can I get ahold of Jim Bahr and does he sell parts? He probably has the bumper brackets I need for my Hawk! - Jim

                Good episode, Jim wanted an arm and leg, actually both arms and legs for everything he had. Thought it was gold when actually everything is stored in horrible conditions and is becoming more worthless by the day. To bad.

                    There is your typical Studebaker hoarder that wont sell anything and when he finally leaves this place everything will be junk and go to china. He's no spring chicken at this point.

                      It was fun to watch the show. Quite a collection of Studebaker cars and parts.

                        Great episode! Sad to see his building that was collapsed by the snow. He sure has a great assortment. Even showed his daughter's flamingo '61 Cruiser! What a tremendous selection of NOS body panels he has, too!

                          He's the Guy that has been selling '56 and '57 Sedan/Wagon Front Fenders for at least 30 YEARS!

                          And it looks like there are a lot more NOS Fenders left, but they will not survive much longer.

                            Wisconsin Studebaker 715-643-2028 see ad on page 58 in Dec TW, page 61 in Jan issue. Usually an ad there every month, hard to believe you are from Wisconsin and don't know Jim.
                            I sold Jim a black 66 Wagonaire at the York Swap Meet in the late 80's early 90's and thought I saw a glimpse of it in the dairy barn shot on the show.
                            Anyone remember the name of the parts stash owner he bought out in South Bend? Sad to see the stuff going down hill. I sure hope it is not going to be another case of it being left for his kids to dispose of when Jim is gone.
                            Been there, done that, and it is no picnic!!!!! Move it now Jim, do us all a favor.

                              My guess would be Herwich Iron. They had buildings full of sheet medal.
