The buy it now price may be optimistic, but this is a very nicely done car. I don't think I have seen a 52 with more optional equipment, but it is surprising that it does not have a push button radio or backup lights. The few minor modifications from factory stock do not hurt its appeal at all. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Studebaker-C...m=222204558040

I normally do not like Fender Skirts, but they actually DO look good on '51-'52 Starlight Coupes, those really Cool Regal "L" shaped Stone Guards dress it up a LOT also.
Just not what I would do to put a Visor, and Dual Spotlights on it though.
A very nice Car, it should bring a good $25,000.00, but we know how it goes when a Classic Car Dealer gets hold of it.
I always preferred those neat '52 Tail Lights, this reminds me of my very first Stude; a '52 Commander 2 Door Sedan with Overdrive and Dual Exhausts.Last edited by StudeRich; 07-30-2016, 07:08 PM.StudeRich

This particular car is done to catch the eye at car shows and not so much driving by on the street. I liked my Starlight coupe without all the barbs. To me the side view looks slick without so much trim."In the heart of Arkansas."

Looking at this car, I can (in the back of my mind) imagine Chick Lambert (the spokesman for Ralph Williams Ford) pushing this car on TV. "Look at this car! Can you not see my reflection in it?! Fully equiped! V8! Overdrive! Radio, heater, white sidewall tyres...just to start! Bring your car down, bring your wife! We can write you a great deal and carry the paper too!"
Here's a "rehearsal" tape done by Chick way back when; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IByDSLeM6Lk Be forewarned, LOTS of rough language. Apologies for not noting this earlier.
Whatever happened to Chick anyway? I know Ralph was a guest of the penal system for rolling back speedos and other unprofessional type practices.Last edited by spokejr; 08-02-2016, 08:57 AM.
