2008/09/10 Studebaker back again- now as 2011 model

[Da Tinman]

there is a dealer near here that sells those junk piles under the "wildfire" moniker and minus the Stude stickers. So yeah they can be on our roads.

With 3 wheels its considered a motorcycle and not subject to any real safety inspections. Note the lack of seatbelts and placement of the radio where it can chew up passengers knees.

It also gives them a much easier emissions standards.

Hecho im china assures you of its quality.

Don't know why, but after seeing this I picture an older guy with a red velvet robe and a huge plastic crown, holding a sceptre and pacing around shouting 'NOBODY beats the Wiz!' (Seinfeld reference)

Hey, it's not a Studebaker, its a KAHUNA!! The question is, Will it be a BIG one?

Kahuna is an Hawaiian word, defined in the Pukui & Elbert (1986) as a "Priest, sorcerer, magician, wizard, minister, expert in any profession."

Does that mean he thinks it'll take a miracle to get this off the ground?

I should also add that selling it without a motor makes it a "kit car" so the manufacturer/dealer is not liable for any injury or damage caused by faulty equipment.

I'm not going to join the fun here, but it appears someone *might* be serious. Look what I found on Craigslist.

Hmm. interesting, it has some of the same misuse of words that the Website has.

I think my favorite part is the "STUDEBAKER" crudely photoshopped onto the front and sides of this "car". Hilarious.

Yep, it does. But, as you say, it IS interesting; on the off beat chance this is legit.
