  • Studebaker 2X2 & 2X4's in 1959

    Even in 1959 Studebaker 2X2 and 2X4 intake manifolds weren't cheap,

    Wow! $38.75,s just a fraction over two percent of the cost of Studebaker's cheapest offering in '59.
    I'd guess around $600 today.Wish I could see the price of the Stude and Packard manifolds.Is that $70 something?? Wouldn't it be great to walk down to the store and take your pick.
    Terrific posting.Ahhh welll.....

      Yeah, seventy dollars was a lot of money. In many cases, a whole week's wages. Close to a whole month's for my brother who worked at the Clark Dye Pharmacy down the street. Then again... these were what my father called, "rich boy's toys," anyway.

        What I wanna know is, "Where is the "bucks" or molds/machine forms for these beauties?" I wonder if the old owners are around? There was ALways some stock left over when they closed the doors...

          I wonder if any are left? I've seen the Stu-V intakes, but these look pretty interesting.

            THis reminds me of a short story I read in college. Tells of a guy who invents a time machine. He can't perfect it cuz it only sends him back in time 40 years and lands him on the same street corner in Chicago. He gives up and shelves the machine in the garage. His wife ends up using the machine to go back in time to buy quality meat at a discount. The butcher appreciated her for not griping about the price. I think I wouldn't mind having his time machine just to go back and buy Stude speed equipment. Even if it was only in one spot in Chicago. The guys at the Chicago speed shops would LOVE me.
