Your thoughts on the best looking stock Studebaker engines / engine compartments

[SN-60]

To: Nox,----- Yes, there isn't enough green in that color.......everything else look pretty much correct?

I like the looks of the '61s under the hood. The silver block with the reddish-orange covers looks sharp. The master cylinder mounted on the firewall is a nice touch, too!

Nice shot of the '61. I should clarify that the Master Cylinder was firewall mounted on the Larks only.

Yep, that is correct about the Larks. 1961 was the first year for that. However, I interpreted your first sentence to mean all '61's, including Hawks as the engine colors were the same.

Here's a 'stock' '55 Stude engine compartment coming together................or is it?

It's not. In addition to the "too Blue" Paint. It has a Flight-O-Matic Trans. with the under floor Filler tube that appears to have the long tail, as used on '58 to '60 on Sedans and Larks and '58 to '61 on Hawks.

To StudeRich,-----SHARP EYES on the flightomatic! One thing You can't see though.....it's a 'short tail' '57 unit.
