This one is not a period photo although it is a cool car. I remember following this build on line in 2009.

1927 Studebaker Erskine Coupe built by Marko Tuunanen from Finland. The car, also known as the Golden Tiara was built by Marko during the winter of 2009. The car features a 1957 Studebaker 295 CID V8 engine fit with a 1957 Ford air filter, a 1957 Chevrolet transmission, and 1950 Mercury wheels.

All I can say is that I found these at this blog site. Here is the link:http://gorillasdontblog.blogspot.com...?q=automobiles

Also I think I posted this photo earlier. It seems to be the same place and time, but note the Ford dealership.

Oscar Maples Ford, across Market Street from Frank H. Afton. One block west of Oscar Maples on the corner of La Brea & Manchester was Sparling Buick.

My dad was the used car manager at Afton in the early 60's.

I wish there was a pic showing the HUGE Studebaker neon wheel sign that was on Afton's roof.

That is the Dealership that my Father's first Studebaker came from, a 1951 2 door Champion

To follow Dave's example -- Americana in Rhodesia





Indy 500 winner, taken to Rhodesia at some stage where the car was destroyed. Photo on the top shows the car driven by Tex Kingon at the 1952 False Bay 100.
