Both of these fine Studes belong to Rick Mannas. The 1953 Starliner hardtop is about to get a blower, while the 1951 is a daily driver project.

This fine looking 1955 long bed pickup belongs to Tom Pierce of Bonne Terre, Missouri. Power comes from a small block Chevy engine with a 350 TH Transmission. Crager wheels finish it off.

If you own or once owned a Studebaker or related vehicle and would like to see your car as "Stude of the Month" or in the "Cool Studes" section, or if you have other pictures or material that you would like to see in this page, please e-mail me here. I can accept either electronic or hard copy images.

Did you know that Michael Kelly's New Avanti Motor Corporation signed a deal to produce the VW based Brazilian Puma Sports Car? I didn't think so! The deal fell through when Kelly ran out of money. To learn more about the Puma, visit my Puma Sports Cars Site.

This picture was taken by regular contributor Bill Junge during a recent trip to British Columbia. Bill indicates that there are about 20 cars total in the yard. They are for sale as a lot for $15,000 Canadian if anyone is interested. Bill has his own web site called Bullet Nose Paradise which is dedicated to 1950 and 1951 Bulletnose Studebakers. Thanks again to Bill for helping to keep this page in new material.

Jason Vogel of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil sent along two more pictures of Studebakers in Cuba. Jason took particular note of the Lark's replacement windshied. The U.S. trade embargo has resulted in any number of creative solutions to keep old U.S. cars on the road in Cuba. Several other Cuban Stude pictures which Jason sent in earlier are contained in my main "Studebaker Stuff" section which is linked to below.

Keeping with the junk yard theme, this 1:18 scale "junk" Studebaker Golden Hawk was recently issued by Motor City Classics. With the recent proliferation of 1:18 scale Golden Hawks in many colors, this is, I guess, one way to do something different. It does not appear to have enough rust in the "usual places" to be a truely accurate "junk" Hawk. To see more toy Studes, visit my Studebaker Toys Home Page.
