Hi I know how you guys like to solve a mystery. We have what we believe is a 57 GH.
Body tag 57H-K7 2378
vin 6102446
engine number PL3809.
Has PS, Power seats, power windows, Studebaker AC evaporator in the trunk.
The car looks rough at the present but it is pretty much complete. We have all the chrome and stainless trim. It will get a full off the frame restore when time and money permit. In the mean time we want to find out the truth about this car.
From the pictures you can see,
The mystery is that the engine doesn't have the blower or tension mechanism but does have the shroud around the carburator. Also the AC pump is missing. The oil filler is straight, where as they had a goose neck one to allow room for the blower. Under all the dirt the engine block is painted yellow (correct me if I am wrong) is the correct colour for the GH engines.
The hood doesn't have a scoop on it, which is another puzzle.
In the pictures the shot of the vin plate looks blank but that is just the flash. Somebody tried to clean the plate with steel wool and removed most of the black stencil. You can still make out the words "Studebaker Corporation" The font appears to be correct as the 6's look like b's and the 1 is a I. Also the plate is attached by 2 spot wields, which look original.
