Here's AMT's 1953 Studebaker. The wheels look cool, but they are totally incorrect. Give a shout out if you know what kit they are from.

Cool Stude! I like the patterned fabric on the seats.

And those wheels look like AMT '49 Mercury to me.

Great looking Starliner.  Really like the interior seat pattern and engine detail!

Super smooth paint job on your Studebaker, well done Doug.

[Tom99]

Nice work, looks great.

Pretty slick looking 53 Stude.  When I got my license I got my grandfathers 57 Stude.

Very Very Nice

Great looking paint finishes and colors. Like the interior seat decals.

Never liked this car as a kid but I did as I became an adult. Great job on the engine, interior and exterior. Good looking model.

I actually liked this kit as a kid because the things I considered essential for detailing (separate exhaust and rear axle etc) weren't molded in, and the front wheels/tires were poseable.  Always seemed weird to me that AMT would put this kind of effort into cars like this and the '58 Impala, but skimp out on what I (in my infinite early teen wisdom) considered to be "better subjects for modeling".

Your build shows what this kit can offer someone who's into detailing, and your interior and red/white paint job provide instant eye candy.
