    Pretty sharp, I'd say. What kind of induction system is that?

        Wow. I'm so glad people with that kind of creativity put it to use on a Studebaker. Cool how they have removed the door skin and dressed everything inside. Doin it right!

              Stunning !! I would never have thought to use the 38/39 Ford headlights on that era Stude. I'll be looking forward to the total side profile with the lower top and the elongated rear fenders. Gotta bet it looks low and fast.

                Looking pretty good. Is that a Y-block Ford with Hillborn injectors?

                  According to their web site it is a 390 FE Ford with an induction system that was on the cover of a 1959 HRM.

                        Same here, reminds me of a '39 Champion. I like the rest of the car too.

                          You always hear about how great the coach builders were in the 20s and 30s, Then something like this shows up. Beautiful workmanship.

                            Probably still less than your average new lambo or ferrari, anfwhich would you rather have?

                              see Sept 13 issue of HOT ROD mag, they had a photo and short write-up on the company still-born (instead of hilborn) injection system (sorry couldn't resist) who created this system. They also mentioned that it was going into a Stude. Cheers, Junior.
