Phantom Studebakers
A couple of my friends from the Studebaker Drivers club brought their custom 53 Studes to the Good-Guys event in Pleasanton last weekend. These are cars that Studebaker coulda-shoulda made. But alas they did not, but good for Steve and Dick for the custom work. The little truck aka the Kart Hauler (it has a Go-Kart in the bed) was originally built back in 1957. Dick found it and restored it old school to it original custom self as seen in the 1959 Oakland Roadster show. Steve found the convertible languishing after someone had started the project and lost interest. It sat for more than 10 years I think. He bought it, finished the work including a Dodge Dart top and a Studebaker R2 Supercharged 289 from an Avanti. In any case these are two cars you might not see another one of anywhere. Just wanted to share my enjoyment
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
