Geeze, there must be a million car-topic forums on the internet!

Our freind Diego Rosenberg, announcer at The Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race, just forwarded this item of interest:

Wonder where it is today?

YE GODS! That thing is COOL!

What if he'd put a first gen. Barracuda backglass on it instead? The Cadillac rear is a little too heavy looking to me.

I know John Saltsman he is quite a guy and a good trany man, my body man knows even better than I do, in fact he just send John the 80 Avanti I had that was damaged in the front and rear, very interesting article...

Rockne10,
Not to make you jealous. Oh ya I will. Two weekends ago I spent an hour showing Kristen my car. She is going to do an article on it later this year. She told me she will "Look me up" in Bonneville. I can tell you that spending an hour with Kristen is a very pleasant experience. She is smart, cute and best of all she "LOVES" Studebakers and cars in general. Come out to Bonneville and I will introduce you.

She is adorable! Almost a twin to my sweet Linda (only without the car interest). Someday I'll have to post her picture here. Love them dorky girls!

(And yes, 'dorky' is a complimentary term!)

Always wondered what a fast back C/K would look like, kinda disapointed. Maybe if it was chopped it would look a little better. Maybe it looks better in person.
I've seen Kristens articals before, she seems like a very smart , cool, and pretty woman.

I don't remember who to credit this model to, but it has a pleasing look. Easy to mistake for a Baracuda if you don't look close.

Sorry, guys. While you are ooo-ing and aaah-ing over this car, I'm wondering, "Is this the answer to a question no one asked?" I kinda think that Bob Bourke knew what he was doing when he DIDN'T make a fast-back.

Then, again, who knows? Maybe a fast-back woulda saved the Company.

Naaaaw!!

My wife and I met up with Greasegirl at Viva Las Vegas back in April. She has a lot of fun with ther 55 Champion. She drove her it across the desert to Vegas with no problems and had a great time doing it! She recently redid the brakes and had the transmission rebuilt not that long ago and the car is a very healthy daily driver. She's keeping the car in original condition for now too, with all the minor rust and thin paint areas. Patina, Baby!

Looks like a Triumph GT6

Hey all! Glad you've enjoyed viewing the article Isn't it wild!? I ran into John at GNRS this past January with his Studebaker custom pickup...and he ended up having these photos tucked away somewhere!

One of these days I'll get to a Studebaker event and meet some of ya'll....Dan, it was great meeting you at El Mirage! I know the La Palma meet is next weekend...but I'm working Any of you guys in the LA chapter...I'm hoping to make next month's meeting - I just recently realized that it was in the evening and not 10am on a workday!

Happy Trails,
Kristin (aka: GreaseGirl)
