Photo Shoot...Peterson's 1963 Cruiser

[Dick Steinkamp]

I was in the San Francisco Bay Area today and photographed Bob's 63 Cruiser for an upcoming eBay listing. This is a BEAUTIFUL, 83,000 mile, all original Rose Mist Cruiser. ALL original...paint interior (including carpet), numbers matching motor, etc. I rode in it for many miles today. It is smooth and quiet. Absolutely no rust ever. Always a Bay Area car. Bob bought it from the son in law of the original owner. He even has the window sticker.

















What a treat it was to be able to see this car.

Great car, super photos.

I'm sure you have at least one worthy of a Turning Wheels cover.

Nice pictures, nice car. I especially like seeing the reflection of Bob and his suspenders in one of the windows....perfect!

Looks like a candidate for the survivor class in South Bend. I didn't realize the heads were painted red on those cars.

Nice pics and a pretty car, for sure. Rose Mist sure grows on you; 'wouldn't have looked twice at it in 1963!

I'm concerned about the owner's records of the oil having been drained. Geeze, I hope there are extant records of it having been refilled immediately after the drains!

Careful Dick, HotRod Deluxe may be calling you for freelance work! .

Bob the car looks great, shouldn't have a problem selling that. And THAT TRUNK! (only a Studebaker owner would appreciate ).

Wow an untouched trunk that clean........very nice

Amazing time capsule. Consider the production line in '63. Wouldn't it be fun to know how long the car just before and the car just behind this one lasted? You can darn sure bet no one would've fathomed any of them lasting FIFTY years!

The heads were not painted red form the factory, in it's past it had a valve job and shop got carried away and painted the heads red along with the valley cover, intake, fan, and breathers and the air cleaner, looked like S..... so time was spent cleaning on the areas I could get to with out taking every thing a parts, did pull the intake to get at the valley area, most of the head and intake ,same with fan, breathers and aircleaner.

I think you are reading to much into a tipical oil change, just the owners way of keeping track of work done and when, tags don't say oil drained on 10-10-65 and refillerd on 10-10-66 ( no real dates just a statement}
