  • Caught a pic of this stude rolling on I-5 at dusk this past Monday afternoon

    Nice looking car with old Minnesota tags on it. It was headed North so I figure it's either to a member in one of the Northwest chapters or they were on the way up to B.C. and just passing through.

    Thank Mike! That is a lovely car! There is just not hardly any car as pretty as a 53 skyliner!

      Good pictures, thanks for posting. Nice to see one on the road. (Even though this one isn't really "ON" the road.)

          Believe that is a Starliner.

            Seems to me that that car was on e-bay last summer or fall. I know there was a car on there from MN.

              Beautiful car, but it is a Stude on a trailer, not a Stude rolling. The trailer is rolling.

                "...but it is a Stude on a trailer..." Yeah, but it doesn't look like it's being towed to a crusher!!!

                    They even look good standing still! (Even though I prefer the Starlight).

                      That looks like the one I saw around here in Sacramento a couple months ago. Being we are also sitting on I-5, maybe its the same one.?

                            Same color combo as Wayne Carini's '54. I asked him at SEMA if he would ever sell it and he said no way.

                              I too remember that car, who could forget the rear bumper corner guards that cover part of the Tail Lights and the Too high and wrong angle Commander Nameplate on the trunk lid?
                              I just can't remember where or why I saw it.

                              That may be the one that was shown on the TV Show before Wayne Carini removed the front Bumper Overrider from, just before he Showed it at the BIG Car show.
