My 1950 Studebaker Starlight Coupe

[ReggieFoote]

Here's my 1950 Starlight Coupe. Have had it for a year or so. Bought from Bud Alvarez in West Palm Beach Florida. It now resides in Venice, Florida

Been a hit at all cars shows it's been at. Has won many awards including a BEST OF SHOW.

Sorry about the duplication as I'm still in the "training wheels" stage.

The car looks wonderful. What size and brand of tires are you running?

Beautiful car! It must be fun to drive that around.

Great-looking car. Is that paint color Tulip Cream?

[ReggieFoote]

Hi Sam,

My Starlight Coupe was built as a GRAY color and painted a GM bright yellow a few years back. I am (from what I understand) only the 4th owner.

Hi 52-Fan,

I've had the car for about a year and a half and put on only about 400 miles. As we have local car shows in the area all year round (a benefit of living in a semi-tropical climate) there's really never a need to drive far, hence the low mileage put on by me.

I was lucky that the car was in extra nice shape when I purchased it and the previous owner spent a lot of time and expense on it. I firmly believe it's better to pay a little more up front and get a car that requires less work.

Hey Ron,

The tires are B. F. Goodrich Silvertown, size 6.40 X15 tubeless.

The previous owner mentioned that he was going to install newer tires, but, so far, there's been no problems with cracking, the whitewalls look like new and I never drive it over 50 MPH for any long distance. In fact, probably the most mileage I've put on in one drive is 40 miles.
