I watched the "What's My Car Worth"? episode with the beautiful '56 Golden Hawk (for about the umpteenth time) and it only brought $80k. What the seller should have done is pasted on some design elements from a '57 Chevy and the price would have gone through the roof. Pathetic? You bet!

What Ed said is true. I've parked my Lark next to Chevys at cruise nights and my car gets more good comments than the Chevys. It's probably because Chevys are a dime-a-dozen, so to speak, and the Studebakers are more unusual to the public.

It didn't sell for 80K. It didn't make reserve, the seller was looking for 6 figures. It was a beautiful car.

I agree that Studebakers are priceless. As you can tell from my signature, I don't have a problem with paying for quality. Or spending your money on what you want. I guess the point I was trying to make was that $80k was waaaaay out of my price range. And here it didn't even sell--seller wanted 6 figures. I guess I could sell my house and move into the car. I wonder if the bank would sell a mortgage to me so I could pay off the difference after I sold the house?
