Studes in Roadside Americana photos

The rarest car in #7227 that BP posted would be that '56 Imperial Ghia-built limousine. Craig

Agreed, Craig.

That certainly is an eclectic assortment of cars, isn't it? I mean, all those cheapies but still a 1959 and 1960 Cadillac and that "limo."

You do wonder where it was shot. BP

The red small car in #7227 is a Renault Dauphine.

You are probably right Noxnabaker, I thought it looked small too, but thought it may be pulled in farther. If it is a Dauphine, it was probably abandoned, ha ! Lots of troubles with those little buggers, although I liked their looks !

All these pics make me think, "Take out the '47-52 Studes and there wouldn't be many pics left". I think that says how popular, overall, they were as new cars and that they did indeed generally last a long time.

There was nothing wrong with the Renault Dauphine that a half decent dealer network in North America wouldn't have fixed. Factory support was haphazard at best, too.

For repair work we pulled Renault engine, transaxle, wheels and tires as one unit. Called it a 'Smokey Stover' car.
