        Truly!

        Now, here is also an example of a one-piece windshield Studebaker with a sun visor utilizing the center support rod mounted to the cowl. These two-piece visors would normally mount directly to the windshield center bar but, when that center bar started disappearing, here was the solution.
        A one-piece visor, which was also offered by Studebaker, could be supported by a bracket mounted to the roof but, the more common two-piece visor needed the center bar for stability.

        This is a lovely car!

        SIGH!!!

            Chris Dresbach is an incredibly insightful young man. He only left out the '33 Rockne.

              Well, I was only talking about post war models. Pre war is a completely different animal and the Rockne makes the list....

                It truly is eye candy. One of my favorite cars ever. I'd love to own one.

                  Nice car! I can't tell if the gravel guards are rubber or if I am just seeing painted body steel. The car has lots of accessory trim except it's missing the SS gravel guards.

                    Looks like it might have rubber gravel guards, My Q4 business coupe never had any gravel guards.
