Thread: 40 Studebaker street rod

Tweet

Funny how life goes sometimes.

Ok, I'll admit I had to google a 40 Studebaker to get an idea of what the car looked like. Anyway a little while ago I went over to a friends speed shop because they had the mobile chassis Dyno set up today and were running a few cars across it.

As I'm standing there guess what pulls up?

Turned out it was a 39 Studebaker instead of a 40, but there doesn't appear to be much difference. I talked to guy who owns it. It's running a 421 Pontiac TH 400 and Chevy 12 bolt.

He was on his way up to Tucson for the Nostalgia Drags so he was just there for a little bit.......I'd forgotten all about it being this weekend otherwise I'd be headed there too.

Yep, that's it alright. Have seen pics of one with a chopped top, but will look at it after suspension mods to see if I like it. Thanks to all.
