This is the cheapest I've seen any buggy, let alone a Studebaker.

somebody snag it! -
WOW!
...If this was within two or three hundred miles...I would have already made the phone call, verified some information, and if this is truly a Studebaker buggy...I would be on my way. However, at this stage in my life, other obligations, and distance, I just can't do it
. But, if this is truly a Studebaker vehicle (and not just transplanted buggy steps) this should be a great deal for some collector!

If it was just a matter of buying the the buggy that would be fine, but then if you don't already have a horse you'd have to get one of those too. That could create more problems than the buggy.Comment

Not for me. I spent many years owning, riding, and caring for horses. I'm over that, but I still own saddles for the art work.Originally posted by Blue 15G View Post
If I could fetch this buggy, & my wife would allow it, the buggy would be taken down & reassembled in my great room. I would make it into a TV watching seat. I would feel honored to have such a perch instead of an ordinary old couch or recliner!

Snag it and add to a collection or donate to a museum. Or use it - after all, it's looks to be in good operating condition.The only difference between death and taxes is that death does not grow worse every time Congress convenes. - Will RogersComment

Um... no. No it isn't presently usable. The whole vehicle looks pretty deteriorated. Also, I would examine those steps very carefully. It's a common trick to add them to an unbadged vehicle just to add sales value and desirability. Best place to check, although unlikely with such an inexpensive vehicle, is the base under the seat cushion. There should be a round button nailed to the seat frame by the regional distribution center. Often the button will be missing, however the impression will still be there. Again though, buggies were cheap vehicles and were often treated like wagons by the company. When it was striped out, the company logo would be painted along the bottom of the box. So when the first paint job went bad, or was removed for repainting, the logo went with it.Home of the famous Mr. Ed!

Time to act like it's 1852 and travel in the saddle because ol' Vanderbilt is up to laying track and I'm raring to go on the war path after him! In all seriousness, this does look like a decent enough wagon, even if it turns out it isn't actually a Studebaker.Jake Robinson Kaywell: Shoo-wops and doo-wops galore to the background of some fine Studes.

I would love to have something like that, if I had a good horse. Unfortunately, we no longer have a place to keep a horse and, even if we did, the shots and vet exams required by law now are too much.
