How to have some Fun at an "Other Make" Car Show

[StudeRich]

I would just LOVE to flash a Picture of this Paxton Supercharger nameplate in front of some Mustang and Mustang Cobra owners!

Just TOO much FUN!

I thought you already did that, Rich: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...e-Paxton-Decal

And I've seen them at 'other make' car shows: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...ghlight=shelby

I could barely make out Studebaker in your picture, but I guessed it must be there. Most people have no idea how diversified the Studebaker Corporation was.

I wonder if the Paxton is mated to the Studebaker 289 to power the Mustang ?

You have a point there!

The early 1965 engines blocks were black with yellow valve covers, just like the 1962-4 engines without the 'Chrome Dress-Up Kit'. That means they also must have been made by Studebaker.

I like the way you think.

How to have some Fun at an "Other Make" Car Show

Following this Shelby connection I have a Sunbeam Tiger and I too can have fun because:

1. I can take it to a European car show.
2. I can take it to a British car show.
3. I can take it to a sports car show.
4. I can take it to a (powered by) Ford show.
5. I can take it to a (prototyped by) Shelby show.
6. You might even take it to a Jensen show because they assembled the Tigers.
7. But my favorite would be to take it to a Chrysler show because they owned a controlling interest in Roote Group to the extent that the Penatstar appeared on this British built, Ford powered car.

BTW, the Tiger prototype built at Shelby's..., overwhelmingly the work was actually done by a gentleman named George Boskoff who at one time also worked for Paxton/McCullough. Why everything does seem to be related within 6 degrees of everything else.

All true, wittsend, we had the same fun with our Tiger at all those type shows !!!! Never could figure out how to enter in any of the Studebaker meets back in TN and AL tho', so I'll slip it in here and see if Clark snuffs my pic out, ha ! HEY, it "could" have had Studebaker connections.........

Yep, I could make it out, but it was still small. When I saved it an enlarged the picture it got blurry.

Ha ! Craig, I remember that very well, but my Tiger was still stock in the suspension and braking departments, so it was as "squirrely" as me when I got in the little monster, ha ! It certainly had the "tow power" to do that with the hi-po 289 with lots of "enhancements" that I did, but no thanks..

Well, the linkage between the Tiger and the Studebaker is the Dana 44 rear end - even if it was the distant cousin Salisbury from England. Also the first 56 Tigers were fitted with a B/W T-10 transmission.

I think I must have a different definition of "fun".

If you then installed a Paxton, with this emblem.
