Danno Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It's one of them!!! Yes, it most certainly IS! And, it has the rare but highly coveted Blurry Hood and Blurry Grille options. It is definitely dagmarlicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 This is a famous scene from a movie...you know, the one where the Vaseline truck explodes, sending the goo everywhere, including the camera lens obscuring the identifying trim for a few frames? Yeah...that movie. Oh, the one on Cinemax last night, about 3 AM-ish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 My great aunt in Evansville Indiana had one in two tone green sitting in her back yard! It was parked back there the day her husband died. Was only 3 years old and had less than 20,000 miles on it. She would not let it go for anything! She had no children and she didn't drive. It had been there over 30 years when some guy bought it from her for 500 bucks! The plus side it was parked on a brick slab that once was a garage floor. The only reason she sold it was she had sold the house and was moving in with her sister (my great grandma) and didn't want to move it to IL.

Ryan S. Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Thank you, Harry...in lieu of sending congratulatory flowers and gifts, I'd ask everyone to please make a donation to your favorite local charity. If I ever have kids, I'm going to name one Local-Charity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 You really have to reach if you want to find post WW2 American cars that few enthusiasts can identify. You almost need to use prototypes or show cars. You even had a number of people who knew the Powell you used several months ago. Foreign cars and pre WW2 oddball makes offer the most fun and frustration for car ID enthusiasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I agree, although I think it's borderline worthless to get too obscure with coachbuilt bodied cars. There are a lot of prewar cars that "you would only know if you happened to know" because every last one of them looks completely different. I would request Harry stop short of "cars" that really were all sold as finish-it-yourself rolling chassis. To me, those kinds of things make it less fun. My sort of self-imposed rule is that the car I feature is not a concept, one-off or custom... it had to be manufactured in quantity (not necessarily mass quantities) and have been available for sale to the general public. One-offs, concept cars, etc would be way too hard. This one was a little too easy, but I did think I'd fool at least some of you into thinking that it was one of those Russian knock-offs from the 50s.

Modelmartin Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 There are a few other late 50 Studes that do not look at all like Studebakers. The Packard version was a good choice. Some of the badge engineered British cars from the 50s are fun ID quiz subjects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
