Joe Hatcher of Pensacola, FL, drove this 1953 Studebaker owned by J. P. Cunningham in the NASCAR Modified-Sportsman race at Daytona International Speedway.

Is this a 4WD car?

Look, this '55 has the spinners attached to the wheel covers. Betcha didn't think anyone would be looking at the wheels, did you?

No, he is using wide 5 hubs and a floater rear.

Thanks for the details, guys. I had never seen this kind of setup before. Almost sitting in the rear seat, this must have been a very special car to drive .

I have never heard of or seen this car before. It is supposed to have been Raymond Lowey's personal car. A "factory" customized 1950 convertible. Look at the hood scoop and two toned paint (supposedly two toned tan.)

That's an interesting photo, Joe. Note the Studebaker script on the building. It is almost identical to the well-used script Studebaker began using in 1956.

But since Studebaker didn't use that script before the 1956 models, how curious that a dealer had a sign that looked almost exactly like it six years earlier. BP

Not just the manufacturer, but Dealers..."AHEAD OF THEIR TIME!"

I'd like to see a pic of the sign with the neon lit up. I couldn't make out the last part of the sign. At first, I thought it said "Land Cruiser," but studying it further, I decided it reads, CARS & TRUCKS.
