  • Is this Studebaker?

    I found this picture on a deceased friends Facebook. Can anyone ID it? It reminds me a bit og the Packhard Hawks. Can't tell if it is custom or stock. The logo on the hood scoop looks like a miniature 3/4 of a bullet nose.

    That looks VERY Ford/Lincoln!
    The Hood "Scoop" looks a lot like a '58 Ford.

    Not Studebaker Packard, definitely a one of a kind, Auto Show "Dream Car".
    Not Bad looking!

          The later model of the Lincoln show car(s) was customized by George Barris and became the Batmobile on the TV series starring Adam West.

            Thanks for info, I found other pictures, very nice looking car. The front end reminds me of our own 55 Speedster.

              Here's the 1955 Lincoln Futura, which became Adam West's Batmobile.

                The car had 5 carbs mounted on a 'multi plex throat'. A center 4v and 4 2vs around it. That's 12 barrels!!! It would be interesting to see or read more about that! In this picture, you can see 3 of the 4 periphery carbs.
