Really neat car with lots of provenance. (Noticed that the passenger side traction bar is missing.)
The comparison with the Cobra (weight versus horsepower) was very interesting, this thing must have seemed like a rocket ship in 1965.Paul

Very cool car, especially 50+ years after the fact, however, I've always found it hard to believe that Brooks Stevens really thought that he might have a 'snowballs chance in hell' Studebaker management would consider buying into something as radical as that......For starters, their 'normal' auto production was hanging by a thread at that critical time!
