)]Amazing, Bob; you/we really DO learn something new every day! To wit: I looked up production figures in The Standard Catalog of American cars just for grins...lo and behold: They record Studebaker as having built 120 units of model 58G-J4, 1958 Champion 2-door hardtop! [:0] 'First time I had ever noticed that. They were probably for export, because, like you, I've never seen them referenced for the domestic market. Weird!

OK, imagine this as having been built and may exist somewhere in the world: a solid black 1958 Champion hardtop, single headlights in quad pods, black tires and wheels and dog-dish hubcaps, with no options. And remember, Champions had 15" wheels to boot.

]) His car was far from being the necest one, but is an original 53 Studillac done in the early fifties, and nothing has changed on it. With all the $30k+ restored cars, his got the most attention. Lucky guy... (He even gets to park it next to his 37 Dictator coupe [}])
But he's gotten SEVERAL leads; just hasn't followed up on a few of them. Like Pat said, "If it's a Frick car, great. If it's not, who cares, this is a NEAT car!" And, he's right. It gets neater when you're spreading rubber all along a parking lot. (Pat's that one that "dropped the clutch", not me, I went 'easy' on it. )
