I saw this Craigslist ad and called about it last night. It was a bit humorous when the seller answered. The first thing he said with a chuckle was "why would anyone want to buy a Studebaker?" I told him why I like them, then he said "but the thing is if you put headlights on the rear, you wouldn't know if it's coming or going."
When I saw the ad, the first thing I though was this is too good to be true, or it's that rare hidden jewel that the owner doesn't know the true value, so today I went to check it out. It's a 4 door, and it does have rust, although not as bad as many. I saw a rust repair from many years ago on the left rear fender. The wheel well and trunk corner has rust. The car hasn't been messed with, but shows it's age. This is a car that could get someone into the hobby for not much money. If I bought it I would lube all the moving parts, install a battery, and drive it just the way it is for an everyday car.
