We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

A little too-busy interpretation of the Bob Bourke sports car idea (the one using existing panels), but really nicely engineered, especially the taillights.Scott Rodgers

I think it would have looked better with the second two-tone color done only in the scallop, like in the original Bourke drawing. But like someone said, his car, his choice.Attached FilesScott Rodgers

Ditto. As with many customs, they seemed to try too hard. Understatement is a rare gem.Originally posted by scott.rodgers View PostMike Davis

Except for the partial continental kit (a Hawk decklid would be better), it looks consistent with what Studebaker might have fielded had finances allowed. Remember, by the mid-'50's, overdecoration, not subtlety, was the norm. Although most two seat roadsters were de-trimmed and solid color, Studebaker had to deliver more to break through the crowd. A clean version could have been offered as well.Comment

As I recall, the owner didn't finish it until the night before the meet. Had to get a neighbor to hold the rear bumper so he could bolt it on.Originally posted by BobPalma View Post It "debuted" at the Warwick RI SDC International Meet this summer. BPSkip LackieComment
