    '50 Champion
    '47 Buss. Coupe
    '47 M5

    Now for the non-Studebakers

    '68 Ford Shelby GT500KR
    '67 Fairlane XL
    '50s Mack B-61

    '70s Dodge Challenger
    '69 Dodge (General Lee)
    '69 Dodge Daytona
    '69 Plymouth Superbird
    '72 Brockway

    And the Chippewa plant to store it all!

    Why might you ask? As long as we are wishing .... when my wish comes true then I sell the Bugatti and at $2.4 Million dollars, I can buy your list of cars Chris and still have plenty of money left over to retire

          I'll keep my list short. It is subject to change.

          1953 Studebaker Coupe
          1969 Porsche 911E (only car I regret selling)
          1958 MGA twin cam (because I like to tinker)
          1956 Studebaker Skyhawk
          1987 Porsche 944 Turbo track car (I want to convert my current daily driver to a track car when I finish the Studebaker)
          40s-50s Tatra (just 'cause)

          And since I've been hanging out with y'all, I'm thinking that I'd really like a 2-door Lark Wagon.

                              I have owned most of my dream cars except one. A 65 Mustang GT-350 R model. Just three would make me happy. Since we are dreaming, these are all "new cars" I want.

                              1. 65 Mustang GT-350 R . It would be second to a 53 Stude Starlight, had I never owned one.

                              2. 53 Studebaker Starlight Coupe Commander. Velvet Black, with scarlet red interior (leather). 3-speed with overdrive. High compression, with 4.55 rear end, and hill holder.(I know it's standard). Underhood, glove box, emergency brk, and trunk lights. 8 -Tube radio, with rear seat speaker and roll up antenna. Climatizer and front and rear defroster. Windshield washer, and cigar lighter with light. Door edge guards, door handle guards, and rubber floor mats could be to-go items.

                              3. 66 Fairlane GTA. White with emberglow interior. (first new car I ever owned)
