Your idea of custom is different than the one I envisioned when I saw the title. When I think of a custom I think of chopped and smoothed cars with a lot of modification to the factory appearance. Both of the pictures shown are what I would call modified vehicles, although the pickup is a custom treatment. I have seen very few full custom Studebakers that I thought looked better than original."In the heart of Arkansas."

Over the years there has been discussions about this car built at Studebaker Engineering and sold to an employee after the plant closed.
The owner offered it for sale to me in the early 70's.
He send me a picture of it.

I have owned several.
What I would pick in answer to your question, is the custom 1953 that John Bridges built to be like a car that Robert Bourke designed as a sort of sports car for the time.Gary L.
