I have been away from the SDC Forum for quite sometime and have sold off all my Studebakers ....
But I am so tempted by this coupe .. but I know I don't need another car in the barn ..parked next to our Jag XKR 550hp roadster (we have really strayed far from Studebakers in our old age)
This coupe is over at a shop that works on my cars in Loomis CA and they are selling it for the owner ...
So please help me from my "Studebaker sickness" ... and check out this coupe ... its a turn key car .. I have owned seven 1953-1954s since I was infected back in 1964 ... they always make me smile
Note this coupe was recently on ebay with 5,000 hits and failed to make the reserve ... has the market for good '53-'54's died off.. or am I just out of touch with the market.
anyway here are the details ...and some pics .. she's sweet, complete and rust free ...
"1954 Studebaker Commander Starlite coupe. Re-painted years ago it still looks great. Super straight and no rust or rot anywhere.
It has the deluxe under seat heater. The interior is done in black and there are no flaws to mention. All the factory tinted glass is in
real nice condition and scratch free. The stainless trim and the chrome is near flawless. For showing I would re-plate the grill bars.
There is some minor pitting. The engine runs perfectly with no smoke or noises. The automatic transmission shifts smooth.
The brakes are good and it stops fine. . Overall a nice clean California car that sounds good and is fun to drive.
To see and drive the car, call Bruce or Skyler weekdays between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm at 916-652-6852. Loomis CA ...."
(they are asking $14,500)
