          Not bad, this Guy is very knowledgeable about ALL Classic Cars.
          He had Most Studebaker History details pretty close, but no non-Stude. person gets ALL of the Data correct.
          He did a better job than many, and covered a LOT of years and Models seeming to know them all.

          Of course he called a '53 Starliner Hardtop a Starlight Coupe, said Studebaker filed for Bankruptcy in 1963, the First year for 4 Speeds was 1962 and a few other OPPS.

          It's pretty hard to show 'n tell how Interior Features etc. were when New, when you Looking at Cars with very little left of them.
          If the '50 Commander Starlight had a better and accessible interior, and IF he knew, he could have shown the unique feature of the Hidden, "Ice Bucket" Rear Seat Armrests.

          Overall, a pretty good Show, I like that he did not go into all the other Makes he passed by.

            Thanks for posting! I enjoyed the show even though a few mistakes were made. All comments were positive and encouraged the rehab of several vehicles.

              I recorded this show and just watched it today. Anybody that dedicates their whole episode to Studebaker has my vote. I noticed the few mistakes but didn't care. I am glad I saw it.
