The trailered car looks like it could be one of Darryl Starbird's creations that played off a '50-52 coupe styling. If you happened to be in Tulsa next weekend 17-19 at his annual show, you could ask him if he recognizes it.

Studebaker roadster back from an endurance run, Brisbane to Burketown and return, 1924 Studebaker Big Six Speedster at the completion of an endurance run from Brisbane to Burketown, covering the 3000 mile (5000km) journey on mostly dirt roads in 110 hours. Some of the modifications for the run include fitment of a bonnet retaining strap, extra spare wheels and recovery gear on the running boards. The headlamps have also been removed, though it is not clear whether this was deliberate or because of damage sustained during the trip. The Big Six Speedster was fully imported from the USA and was powered by a 354 cid. inline six developing a maximum of 65 bhp at only 2000 rpm. The photograph was taken outside the Brisbane branch of Canada Cycle and Motor Agency, who were Queensland agents for Studebaker and Gray cars at the time.

This 1947 Studebaker was driven very competitively by Don Bechtel at Soo Speedway, Sioux Falls, SD in the time frame of 1954-1958.

Notice the crane in the background:

Pic in post #8015: almost looks like something "fell out of the sky" and smashed this poor Stude.

At 7:36 is an IHC Golden Jubilee pick-up, their "answer" to the Chevy Cameo. Though a contemporary vehicle then (only 5 years old), rare then, rarer today.

Maybe this should be titled - "When you cannot figure out how to lower the convertible top, please ask for help..."

And the vehicle that would be the most expensive to buy today fully restored? I'm gonna say the 21 window VW bus.

I'm trying to figure out what this Fella was doing to the back of the Studebaker

[70Avanti2]

He's hooking up a tow bar. My guess he's delivering a new or repaired scooter.

Edited 8015, added pic and comment.

More likely returning the repaired or serviced car.
Garages would come out on the trike and use your car to tow the trike
back to the shop, then reverse the process to return your car. Where I
grew up I only remember Harley's being used.

OOPS, scooter dealer on the window; my bad.
