  • Diecast Christine ??

    Just got this, and of course I'll help.


    "Hello,

    What a beautiful car that 58 Starlight is you're offering. It has to be once of the best Surviving Studebakers in existence.

    While I'm not in a position to purchase it, I would like to ask if you wouldn't mind providing me with a few more very specific photos althought I saved everyone you posted.

    You see, I'm a designer in the diecast model industry and landed in this position becasue of my knowledge of vintage automobiles. Studebakers are my favorite. I have amassed an extensive collection of old Studebaker dealership literature which is invaluable when planning to produce a model.

    As I'm sure you're famiiar, these old brochures featured all the dimensions so critical to properly creating a scale model. If you would provide me the following photos if/when we make this model I'll be sure to provide one to you gratitis.

    1. Left & right views taken kneeling so the camera is about even with the beltline. Standing with the lenses pointed slightly downward throws the proportion off ever so slightly.

    2. Straight on front and rear views.

    3. Close up of a hubcap, trunk and other emblems, door handles and similiar objects. From your already excellent photos and obvious knowledge of vehicles I'm confident you can identify these details.

    If your are able to find the time to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration and I hope this very special car finds and exceptionally good home.

                    Hey guys,

                    I suggest we take Dennis' photo instructions and get shots of any Stude vehicles that are not already available in die-cast (but we think should be) and provide him with those photos, and any literature that shows scale drawings of our vehicles.

                    I agree with Mark57 - I've always wanted to see scale models available of the C-cab trucks.

                    ****************************************
                    Let me correct myself: I just now went to his website and searched for "Stude", and turned up quite a few models, including some big cab & chassis C-cabs:

                        Please don't send him pictures unsolicited. I will offer to seek out any other Studebakers he might be interested in, and we can help if he asks. Also, he has a few dozen other pictures of Christine from ebay and I'm just filling in a few he'd like. If we flood him with pictures of our favorite Studebaker before he asks, he may get buried. I'm sure he sees cars that strike his fancy, then he asks. The last think I need is to wear out our welcome with pictures of a dozen cars that he may not have a market for, even if we love them personally.
