Hello, my name is Richard and I have a Studebaker problem.......
I just became the owner of a 54 champion coupe basket case. It looks like it might have been a drag car for a while. It is going back on the street as more of a street rod. Right now there is no drive train, but I have access to a 54 Cadillac motor, so I might build it as a studillac. ....if the caddy motor doesn't check out, I will re-evaluate my options.
Body wise the back half of the car is straight and solid. The fiberglass front end is a little rough and has a hole cut in the hood. I may go back to stock front sheetmetal.

I bought a 55 Commander at an estate sale in south Alabama a few months ago. It sat outside for several years and was never started so it deteriorated but is a solid car. I drove a 53 Champion to high school in 1965, I loved that car and I have always wanted another Studebaker. I have 6 old cars total so something needs to go but I'm pretty good at buying them but not very good at selling.

Have "new" 1960 Hawk. Had driven a 1962 4dr Lark back in the 80s when my wife and I were first married. Still have it in storage, but I am presently rebuilding a 60 Hawk. Chassis is complete with rebuilt engine, trans, front and rear ends, and steering. Hope to start body work soon, get the brightwork replated, and lastly upholstery.Better get to work!Tom Senecal Not enough money or years to build all of the Studebakers that I think I can.

Where are those missing 65 Daytona Sports Sedans

We had someone post a couple of weeks back - I forget who - about a too-short driveshaft, where the front yoke fell out of the slip joint and embedded itself in a field. Not something you want to have happen at speed!

Hi,
I just purchased a pair of Studebakers and joined the club. I am looking forward to getting one of them running and hopefully presentable. the first is a 1963 Lark, the other is a 64 Commander. Both have the 6 cylinder OHV engine. The Lark is in very poor condition with the Commander not far behind but both came with clean titles. I bought them with the idea that I cant possibly make them worse and I will learn many new skills along the way.

Just cause we're new doesn't mean we have to remove our wallets to drive a stude. Resale on these vehicles is as low as any junk car. and prices for parts is as out of reach as a rolls royce.All the forums are great info and Ilove being a member of SDC.Maybe I could switch wallets with one of you complainers for a while.I have a bad back also from 35 years of construction but I won't complain if it's too fat.I'll trade back when it' as thin as mine . Haha.I always wanted Roys Rolls Royce but I didn't know it would turn out to be a Studebacker Champ. Thanks guys. And let me know about trading for a nice fat wallet. NM Roy
