Studebaker Custom For Sale
I cruise Craig’s List fairly frequently. Last night I saw a minor ad (no pictures) for a 1953 Studebaker Custom. Advertised as being in the 1959 Oakland Roadster Show and reported to have been done by George Barris.
I’m a sucker for an outing to see a “different” Studebaker and this one was close…Anacortes. I took Jon along to help evaluate the car. This is what we saw…
It was actually attractive. Fairly straight, no rust. Real ugly wheels, tires and stance. The guy wanted $9k for it with a worn out Chevy V8 and a 6 speed he intended to install in it. I told him I’d think about it.
