Hello to all and looking to jump into the the Studebaker addiction with both feet.i am looking at a 1952 2R16A cab and chassis truck which I have the opportunity to purchase. The truck has been fully restored and is what seems to me in showroom condition if not better.that being said I have a few questions that I am hoping to get answered by members here that have experience in these trucks and in Studebakers in general.
i am looking to not just drive the truck on the occasional weekend or to a show but something this beautiful should be out on the road as much as possible and shown off!!! So my first question is what is the drivability of a truck like this I know the comfort level would not be anything close to what's out there now but is it unrealistic to think a truck like this could not be driven 3 to 5 times a week 50 or so KM's??
i know that the trucks manufactured in the 40's did not have a very high top end is this the case with a 1952 as well so that driving it on highway would just not be feasible ?
and lastly I have been dooming some research into valuations what in the opinion of the forum members would this truck be worth as I said the restoration is absolutely A1
thank you in advance for your replies

Ps will attach picture when I figure out how
