Joe: Where did you find the photo in post #7001? It's a very unusual body style. Looks like a British or Australian custom body, about 1923-1924, right-hand drive, unusual drivers door shape.

I like the window shade with ring pull and the curtains. It seems strange it has no bumper.

Before Doug Cook gained fame as Stone and Woods’ driver he ran this bad, blown ’41 Studebaker sedan. Cookie’s car reflected the rules-required street legal items such as its California license tag.

Now that's a memory!....I always liked the great look of the Stone/Woods/Cook Willys gasser!

Me thinks this is the same car as in post #7002. Same bumper guard, and same missing RF hubcap.

Great example of what ten years of styling changes that happened with the 66 Olds parked next to the 56 Studebaker with a Mustang nearby.

I got this picture as I was searching through the internet for Studebaker pictures. I did a google picture search and found this:
