Studes in Roadside Americana photos

Great photo Bob, thanks for posting it. There is so much going on in this picture that I continue to look at it discovering new stuff each time. I want that $295 Hudson by the way.....

I know what you mean about that Hudson, Joe. I finally located the dealership and called yesterday, but they had sold it Monday.

They did have a '50 Buick Super out there for $395, but it had that complicated upside down valve arrangement and I'm afraid that is just too many moving parts to last very long. BP

In the Post 3105 Hemmings Blog photo, did anyone notice the two-tone 1955 Packard Clipper half cut off on the extreme right side of the photo? BP

I found this photo in an old yearbook that was being thrown out. Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas.

"The Farmer Motor Company, a Studebaker Dealer located in Lexington, Kentucky, used a pair of the cars that were converted into tow trucks when this photo was taken in 1930." Found on TheOldMotor.com

I thought about the photo not being in "Roadside Americaa" but decided it really didn't matter. Besides all the cars are American...... No, really we are an international club so I figured we ought to be able to post good Studebaker stuff no matter where the picture was taken.

Is the car in back a relatively new 1939 or 1940 Champion? After all, the windshield wipers are still working against all that snow:

Well said!

There have been LOTS of photos from Canada, and at least one other from Holland ('59 Lark ht vs bicycle), and a number of others from around the world.

Post 3112 - the European photo - I was struck by the difference in size between the Studebaker and the other vehicles.
