Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[8E45E]

Not the same car, Craig. the Kearney, Nebraska car has a windshield mounted spotlight, and a horn and tool box on the running board. It is definitely a six. The car in this post is a four.

See also post #2465 in this thread for a different photo of the Nebraska car.

Last time I stopped in at the Sands Casino was in 1994....Tough to see to the old Vegas haunts leveled, but that's Vegas!

I have no idea what his vehicle is about . I found it on Kustomrama. No matter I am sure we all can see the Studebaker connection.

Does #3276 have a Model T rear leaf to match the Model T kiddie ride in the background?

It's unusual for me to forget a story about a Studebaker project, but I took this photo decades ago and have honestly forgotten the details!

Former lady friends from Paris IL "back in the day." The date on the side of the first photo is April 1959:



Photos discovered today while looking for something else. Names shall remain anonymous to protect the innocent (me).

Incidentally, the 1955 Champion Regal Coupe in the second photo is the one I am wrenching on in my avatar photo, before it was painted. Avatar photo is early 1963; photo in this post is fall, 1964. BP

Wow, does that bring back memories. I actually had a ride in that thing in Indianapolis back in the '60s, I think it was. Lots of '61 Hawk parts, as I recall. Unfortunately, I don't remember many details. Could it have belonged to Luther Barnes, Ted's long-time friend? The rumble seat was a rare option.

Bob P., referencing your picture of the "rumble seat roadster", if the young fellow Chris has the Turtle, surely this is the long-lost Studebaker Rabbit with that blown engine !

Apparently not, George. Ted e-mailed this morning that he didn't recall Luther ever having such a beast.

And since you have now confirmed that it wasn't yours, we can rule out your having gotten carried away with weight removal one summer! BP

Hmmm....'hadn't considered that, John! BP
