That is one very nice custom and they knew what they were doing, all 50-51 should have bumpers removed for the really nice clean look, and it does wonders to 4 door cars and make me want one again, thanks for posting Dick and thanks on the other thing Dick....BobCandbstudebakers

I love that car. I look forward to seeing it in person some day. I like the hubcaps he made for it.
Are those stock 50 taillights mounted upside down? They look a little bit taller but that could be an illusion because they are tilted more.Jon Stalnaker

thanks for link!
i believe he said that it was painted not all wood, but more wood will be placed on the inside. it's near the end where the interviewer asks if he farmed out the wood-work...
the taillights - not sure, a '50 owner would have to chime in. but they look similar to a '50 - certainly not 51's...Kerry. SDC Member #A012596W. ENCSDC member.

I'm not trying to be critical because it's a gorgeous car but just making observations. Guess I've been going to see the Ridler cars in Detroit too often.
Still a well done Studebaker.
