The picture was taken in front of Newman and Altman Studebaker dealer ship on south Michigan Street at the rail road overpass. Now Transpo bus terminal.

What is the car on the right, underneath the sign that says, "World's greatest combination."?

1958 Dodge. Probably a Coronet. Single headlights in 1959 they went to double.

That picture of the Sanchez Studebaker shows the eight exhaust pipes coming out the back of the car. That caused quite a controversy. All eight pipes ran from the headers to the back valance. If you looked under the car it was like a belly pan down the middle made of pipe. Other racers complained that belly pans were not allowed in that class but the Sanchez team insisted it was just exhaust pipes. So you know what happened right? The following year the rules committee banned full length multiple pipe exhaust and that was the end of something very cool and unique. But on the plus side it did make for lots of cars running my favorite exhaust pipes, Zoomies!

Yep, there's at least one Studebaker in there:

I think I spy with my little eye a C or K on the second parking lot between the yellow and green bus. I think it is parked next to a 1960 Dodge Dart. If that is true, then I don't need my eyes checked as Jenny keeps telling me.

Boy, Bob; I dunno.

The one I do see is closer to us, on this side of the line of buses. BP
