Repopped cowl streamers- progress report

[SN-60]

[QUOTE=Dick Steinkamp

These streamers are one of the big mysteries of these cars. Why did some get a 4 speed streamer and others didn't? What is the meaning of some (most?) of them. I'd just hate to see this diluted by streamers for anything and everything and streamers becoming nothing special since who knows which are real and which are repops.


I kind of agree with what Steinkamp is saying here...and I have to admit for somewhat selfish reasons....My Speedster has a factory 'Speedster' streamer.....if these things were 'repoped'....something that is interesting (at least to Studebaker folks) would become fairly Ho-hum. (My opinion)

Corvanti,.....I was joking.

i was fairly certain you were. obviously, so was I.

Actually, I'd not a big fan of having these repoped...and I'm FAR from a purist.

That's just me, however, and I'm the guy that would put a SBC in one of these in a minute.

My 4 speed streamer was stolen at a Studebaker meet. A repo would be fine. A sbc? You can get those at Walgreens?

I'm not a fan of having them re-popped, either, for that reason.
