What began as necessity - he needed an air vent shrouding - has become a small but thriving industry for the former elementary school history teacher whose business, Classic Enterprises, is now the largest supplier of aftermarket body panels for Studebakers. Classic Enterprises employs 3.5 workers who stay busy stamping out floor panels, tailgates, rocker panels, body supports, door skins and spare tire wheel wells among many other parts that gear heads need to turn their rusty old Studebaker into a sweet ride.

Maybe he hired a midget, or he conciders himself the 1/2.

He provides a good service for Stude buffs. I've never used him, but my '64 could use his services (LOL)!

He always seemed like a friendly guy at the swap meets.

Good for him! Good article.

His name is Horatio. Opie Taylor can't stop thinking about him

Good article. I bought a floor kit from them year ago and I live in Ca. One of these days I'll install it!

Reminds me of the DJ on one of our radio stations that made a respectful, but tongue in cheek reference to Def Leppard and it's one arm drummer when he announced the song he was going to play:

"And here we have Def Leppard with Stagefright who's band still retains 3 3/4 of its members still "

That was a nice article. It's good to see someone who's being recognized for doing good work.

I know someone who lost part of his ring finger to the first joint in an industrial accident. Whenever he goes to a restaurant and waits to be served and is asked for how many, he holds up three fingers including his partial ring finger. He says "Me, my wife, and my KID" He never fails to get a reaction from the hostesses. )

Buy one of his soon to never be run again "Stainless Steel Hawk Fin Strip Kits" and ask him how to install it. He will tell you he has no idea but if you figure it out to let him know. He will still take your money though! The guy is a crook!

[DEEPNHOCK]

How many 'other' of his products have you bought 'and installed'?????
The crook label needs more detailed explanation...from you.
Did you wreck them? Did your tech wreck them?
Tossing out a slam on a vendor on this forum should not be taken lightly.
If it is with merit, accurate, fact based, and verifiable....Then it is a service you bring to our small circle.
If it because of a single incident, without explanation, or direction...then expect some questions.
Please add more to your comment.

Love the, uh, "recollections" provided by reader's comments in the original article, especially the '57 GH.

Call him up and ask him yourself how to bend those stainless steel hawk fin strips Jeff. I have bought other parts for floor pan repair and the fit is terrible. Many will attest to it. I don't know why you are hyping this guy. He is a crook and rips people off. He should be banned as a vendor.
