    HOLY CRAP! Do you know how many of those 2 doors are left? I don't either, but I've only ever seen two others- neither of them looked that nice! Some guys have all the luck- don't get me started on the hardtop Packard...

        You'd better stay "on" those '58 hardtops, Bob, or you'll name will be Mr. Mud if they get away! BP

          Bob/MrBiggs - You probably know, but for those that don't, the production figures for all series (I don't have a breakout here) is;
          1958 Packard hardtop 675,
          1958 Studebaker hardtop 3846,
          1958 Studebaker two door sedan 7187.

            Holy Crap is right!!!! The only one of these I've ever seen is a beautiful '58 President hardtop owned by Joe King of Quincy, Massachusetts. At least I think it's a '58 - been a few years since I saw it.

            Gary Ash - if you're reding this - can you confirm if Joe's car is a '58?

                OK, I'm just going to come out and say it......I LIKE '58 STUDEBAKERS!!

                I feel so much better now<G>!

                I like the hardtops best of all, but the sedans and wagons are neat too. I especially like the 2-door with the pods but just single headlights.

                  I'm glad you folks are standing up for the car you like. Everyone can't ride the same horse, right? As for me, I think the '58s were designed by a large commitee and everyone went home early that day.

                    Mr. Biggs- would you please post if those '58 hardtops are ever parted out? I've got a rusty President hardtop and could use some sheetmetal. -thanks

                      Hi
                      Nice to see those favorite oddities haven't all rusted to the ground, all have here in western New York.
                      Those cars must not be camera shy, I notice on webpages full of Studebaker pcitures, even if a few examples '56-'58 are in attendance at a meet, they mostly only show up in the background. Rarely in individual shots, come on guys, give them a little respect!
