My post in another thread about a Studebaker I once "accidentally" purchased (perhaps "accident" isn't really the best word to use when talking about cars) got me to wondering whether anyone else had bought a Studebaker that they really hadn't intended on purchasing. Here's part of my original post:
I once had a '55 Champion two door sedan in the late '90s. It was an accidental purchase. A guy I worked with told me about the car which was parked in front of a house about 30 miles north of where I lived. So I went to look at it. It was owned by a young fellow who had inherited it from a relative. He was into muscle cars and wanted some cash to tinker with whatever muscle car he was working on at the time. I wasn't really all that interested so I gave him a low ball offer which he immediately jumped on! Be careful what you wish for.
