That's an interesting car...the tall narrow grille would've made for a good Packard front end...I can imagine this as a '60 Packard Panther or some such, had Churchill prevailed more fully after the initial success of the Lark...wonder what the status of the "Stiletto" is now?

I think that car has some basic beauty to it. I would like to see it updated with a Stude V-8, disc brakes etc. Or maybe just a Cathcart type Champion 6 would do. Since its demise would not be much of a loss to Studebaker folks, I don't see a downside to this "project," if it really is a project.Joe Roberts

Interesting that the automotive historian mentioned at the bottom is named Hacker. The drawing has nice lines, but I am not sure that the existing car would build into that design without lots of adjustments."In the heart of Arkansas."

Here is a new link to see a more current picture and yes, the owner is letting it decay outdoors - in Florida. Compare the newer picture in this link to the one linked to at the beginning of this thread. Some people should not be allowed to have certain cars.

Resurrecting this old thread because I saw a post on Facebook today. Looks like an interesting concept.Comment

The lines have some really good aspects. The car in person looks a bit of a disappointment as the drawing looks a lot better. This deserves to be saved. Perhaps some subtle enhancing would make it even better.Diesel loving, autocrossing, Coupe express loving, Grandpa Architect.Comment

It has grown on me a bit. If it can't be saved, it should be recreated, but with improvements.The only difference between death and taxes is that death does not grow worse every time Congress convenes. - Will RogersComment

That is totally a '50 Champion Dash, could be what they started with, but they should keep their Day Job!
