And your '91 Acura is over twice as old as that Studebaker was in 1961!!

Craig - I thought that your memory was infallible <G>. My Acura is a 2001 3.2 CL.

Okay, I was off by ten years, but my comment about your Acura being older than the Studebaker was when the photo was taken still holds true.

9649 --- The Stude pickup is not the oddest vehicle in the picture. Is that a 1950 Dodge sedan converted to a pickup camper?

My reaction exactly.

I figure these folks are going on quite an adventure. They seem to be pretty loaded down and ready for some serious out of the way camping, boating and who knows what else. Great picture, thanks Dave.

This isn't roadside , of course , but it's too good to pass up .

That car had quite a history. The engine was a Ford flathead with a blower!

If you want to see more pics of it, especially when rather new and all straight and shiny;

9 or 10 years difference between the Studebaker & the Dodge in #9654.

In 9658 is that another Bulletnose in the background?

Australian ambulance is still around. I saw it - or its identical twin - near Toowoomba, Australia in February 2017 at a rural museum.
