olschoolkid Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Really nice Studebaker. It kinda reminds me of a Thom Taylor or a Steve Stanford design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl LaFong Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Nice job of bringing Raymond Lowey's design into the 21st century! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Thank you Keith! History tells us he was not an easy person to work with... but judging by his work, nonetheless  an influential designer. How many cars drawn after WW2 are still looking mostly contemporary to our jaded eyes? The 53 Stude is certainly among them. I'm building a roadster version today, in the "less is best" philosophy. I'll post it here when completed. CT  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Absolutely the most beautiful '53 Studebaker I have ever seen ! Congratulations on a well designed and executed model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi Mr. Woodruff! Well, from one of the original luminaries, it is quite a compliment! I could not ask for more... Regards, CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 There's a lot of inspiration here. I can't get past the slope of that windshield, which kind of throws a wrench in the works, but all the rest is inspiring. Beautiful body and paint.

Claude Thibodeau Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hi Mike! Actually, a friend on a model forum (Koolestkruzers.com) in France felt the same about the rake of the windshield... But it is the actual Chrysler Atlantic Concept angle... I just transplanted it on the Stude body, with the alterations described in the intro of this post.

Cpt Tuttle Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Very nice flow in the lines. I guess that if someone tried to bring back Studebaker today, this is how they would look. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
