  • Introducing Midge the 1959 2 Dr. Wagon


    I got my first personal look at my recent purchase AKA:Midge. Not as good as i wanted but not as bad as some. And i only have to haul her 30 miles. And then the fun begins, lots of cleanup to see whats under all that rust flakes, dirt,grime and bad upholstery. Spot on right side taht i had nerves about turns out to be bad dent repair not a hole. Only rust thru i found so far is left rer lower quarter panel. Bad luck items so far studebaker locking gas cap no key, hood latch stuck, hood won't open.And rear seat missing. And the afore mention four flat tires.

    Cool item dealership License plate bracket.

    Looks good compared to anything here. [^] Some good interior parts that are hard to find, too. What's under the plywood? Is that one of the shots?

      Yes it's the spare tire well, which has a lot of rust and dirt globs but seems to be in pretty good shape. It's in a storage shed so not a lot of room and not a lot of light. Have to do some home garage and storage room juggling before i can bring it home and get it cleaned up.

      Then i'll know if it's more than i want to do. But so far it don't look too bad. And i'm close enough to Mexico to get the upholstery done reasonable.

            Thanks as soon as i can get a parts book for this one, i'll see if they have any left.

            I think barnlark is getting partial to Midge from afar.

              Hey, I think that's a 2-door wagon. Many are looking for just that.

                  I have just the parts books for that, too. Ask J&T, they still own them in my eyes.

                    Daddy had one of those. It was one of the cars I learned to drive in. In fact, I think it was the first Studebaker I drove.

                        I have a pair of NOS rear quarters in Laramie, WY. If you are in Arizona shipping would be cheaper than from South Bend. wyostude at gmail dot com

                          Are two door rear seats the same as for a four door?
