Studes in Roadside Americana photos

Looks like a black 49-52 Studebaker above the 30's black sedan.

I guess this picture is our version of "Where's Waldo" I think the black sedan is either a Simca or a Volvo 122. It looks a little small for the Postwar Studebaker. Also, it does not have the center opening rear door. We went as a family of three in 1967, around the time of the photo to that place, Disneyland. 49 years later, Jenny and I went with 4 adult children and 4 grandchildren. We spend 5 days and still didn't get to go on everything. I did not get to ride the "Cars" ride. At least we didn't have to buy ride tickets. Mention an "E" Ticket to our grandkids and it looked like we had lobsters coming out of our ears.

Any guest on the side mounted coupe/coach? I am thinking Buick.

If you are talking about the black car parked between a white Ford and a Yellow Chevy, it is a Simca Aronde.

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!

Did that ever have a sign on the back that said "quiet isn't it?" ?

In the South Bend Tribune. This is the south side of Tippecanoe taken in 1908. These are four automobiles of the Studebaker clan with J. M. Studebaker in the right rear of the front car.

I love the look of 'nose down' Studebaker Avantis!
