Is anyone looking to buy a 1957 Packard Clipper Wagon my father has one for sale. He purchased the car over 45 years ago and has driven it a few times and has kept it in the garage for all this time. The car will need some restoration work. I'll be taking some photos tomorrow. If anyone is interested please message me.

Not much to go on with those pictures Marty, but it looks pretty good from what I can see. We want lots more pictures! Can you tell us the serial number on the plate on the drivers door post? It should be 57Lxxxx.Chip

Hello to everyone. I've been lurking for a short time, admiring the beautiful restorations, trying to learn as much as I can before I take the leap and buy a studebaker. I like the wagons best - 61-63 seems to be the years that spark my interest. My husband and I have a 6 y.o. hellion and 3 dogs and I need the space for lugging my junk around. Maybe some of you can share your thoughts on what might work best for me. Whatever I buy will be my daily driver. I currently drive a 2001 lexus suv, and nice as luxury cars are, I just don't love it. I need something with an ac - Dallas gets blisteringly hot in the summer and even if i could go without, the hellion shouldn't have to suffer because his mom is weird and likes funky old cars. I plan to sell the Lexus to pay for the wagon, so I'm looking at something $5000-$7000 that is running and street ready. I'll be able to put work into the car a little at a time and would like to learn to do the simpler stuff myself. I don'[t mind getting dirty and like learning to do new things. Am I crazy to think I can do this? Words of wisdom?
Thanks,
Penelope
Nearly forgot, I'll be out in Waxahachie next weekend to take a look at the car show, so say hi if you're going and maybe I'll see you there.

Hi all,
I've just moved to Davis CA (next door to Sacramento). I still own and am restoring a 61 lark wagon back in Brisbane Australia (I'm good friends with Chris Skinner/ aka Stude Dude). I'm only here for a few weeks, but back again next year (just in time for the meet in Sacramento I believe) and I'll be looking to find something to drive. Ideally this would be something a bit unusual for Australia (like a 2-door 56 president/commander). In my dreams this will be an Avanti but doubt my budget will ever stretch that far. Anyways, I'm gauging whats around and in the meantime, I hope to see a few nice studes on the road soon!

I only just noticed this thread - joined the forum a few weeks ago, and some of you may have seen my posting in the Tech Talk section about my Nissan Skyline conversion. I have been a gearhead since about 1958, and a rotorhead since about 1979, built various custom cars and trucks since about 1982, restored some old cars, several airplanes, a couple of boats, motorcycles, but never did a custom job on an American car. I wanted something relatively small and light weight, and have always liked the 47-49 Studebaker Starlight coupe as one of my favorite designs. Last June I finally found one that was only 100 miles away, nice dash and new interior and priced right, so here we go with the project. This is intended to be a driver. The structural and mechanical work that would intimidate most people has gone very quickly and is almost done, but I have enough experience to know that the wiring, heater system, modern windshield wipers, and instruments will take a long time. I will certainly have some questions for the knowledgeable guys here.

My name is Bill Carlin. I am a first time Studebaker owner. I have just purchased a 1928 Superior-Studebaker hearse that will be going through a complete restoration. I am in Minnesota and the Studebaker will be tucked away for the winter while I search for parts. In the spring, I plan to start working on the car.

I just bought a 1961 Lark, I too, am an international fan at heart, owning a 1959 3/4 ton and a 1958 1/2 ton. I saw the studebaker and just had to have it. It has the 259 v8 and three speed on the tree with overdrive. $1400 later, it's on a trailer home. The floors were quite rusty, and I replaced them with sheetmetal I had on hand. I got it running by replacing the fuel pump and rebuilding the carburetor, It just needs some fluids changed and she's ready for the road. I can't wait to learn all about the world of studebakers!
Just some background information, I am 18 years old and will be going to school to be an automotive technician, it will be hard working on newer "throwaway" cars after owning and driving the classics.

Hey all! My name is Kuno and I'm a college student studying business up in Vancouver, British Columbia. I currently drive a 2003 VW Jetta and kind of hang out with the imports crowd but nonetheless am picking up a 1963 Studebaker Lark sedan with a 259 V8 November 1st to start working on. Last time the car ran was 2008, so I'll be on here asking loads of questions! Looking forward to talking with everyone here.
