And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've never seen anything like that. What a beauty. My aunt and uncle always drove Studies and I thought they were the ugliest things ever. If they'd have had one of these I'd have been hooked on 'em.
Would it be possible to mass produce cars shaped like this today? Old designs with modern tech are the stuff of dreams. I recently saw a full restomod power wagon and it was one of the prettiest things I’ve seen in awhile, and I don’t consider myself a truck guy. Someone really needs to revisit the past, do it right, and mass produce it.
That is otherworldly. Those intakes, the blending of the original style with new, the hatch, the wood. All of it.
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing.

ReplyDeleteMy eyes are hurting trying to count the plug and coil leads. Looks like a V-8 but three leads on right side?
ReplyDelete2nd from top left goes to left bank.
DeleteLooks like a V-6 with three leads going to each side.
ReplyDeleteFour. Look closer on nearer side.
DeleteSorry, I count three in each direction and six on the distributor cap.
DeleteSorry again, there are four. I missed that one sort of hidden.
DeleteLove Studebakers. We had some in the fifties. The '54 station wagon was very stylish, maybe not in the Nomad class but still nice.
ReplyDeleteI'd never tire of looking at that, wonderful workmanship.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, love the crouching lines.
ReplyDeleteWith the tints in the wood and that color green, the car calls for a hot redhead to occupy the passenger seat.
ReplyDeleteThat's how its done, Chad.....
ReplyDeleteTheir slogan was "Better than it has to be".
ReplyDeleteI want to hear a recording of it running. With those intake horns...

ReplyDeleteWouldn't it look great heading for the lake pulling a vintage Chris-Craft ski boat behind it?
ReplyDeleteWOW !!!!!!!!!! What a cool car !!!!!!!! would love to see it tooling down the road, or diving it !
ReplyDeleteAll that glorious wood, real wood not the fake stuff used later on.

If Chris-Craft built a car....
ReplyDeleteThey always look better in the crate.
ReplyDeleteMy God, look at that wood. What a gorgeous build.
