  • Interesting paint treatment on this car.

    I usually like Studebakers stock appearing or a solid color, but this car that was on Facebook grabbed my attention.

    Like the design, but not the colors chosen. Never was a fan of dark top, light bottom. Always seems to unbalance the car visually.

      I think flipping the colors may be part of why it stands out. Of course, the color is not stock either.

        I like the idea, but like others, not the contrast color. I think for that solid white car with only the side stainless and a small hood ornament, silver in the area now gold, and leave the top white. But that's just my druthers.

          If it's just a white car setting there, not much to catch ones eye. The splash of color will catch your eye and draw attention to the car. I like it personally.

                The mirrors are definitely not one of the cars best features, but I guess they work.

                  It could be a local Australian color combination.

                    Uhhhh, no it's not. But it is one of mine!!!

                    I especially like the addition of the '56 President trim to this '58 Scotsman.
                    I always have. In fact it's something I would do.
                    I've even got a bunch of the pieces to do so.
                    Maybe it'll go on Betsy the Parkview one day...?

                        I found a different rear view without the mirrors.

                        [ I especially like the addition of the '56 President trim to this '58 Scotsman.]


                        Are the tail lights President also?

                        I like it too!!

                              Nice job. I wouldn't have chosen those colors, but the job was well executed.
