One more 53 Studebaker

I had to make an interior for this car.  The floor is plastic sheet and the front part is from a 58 Impala interior.  The roll bar came from the parts box and the dash is also from the parts box.  I think it was part of the Ms DEAL kit, not sure.  The engine is a 348 from the 58 Impala kit and here are some pics fer ya.

More pics of this car.

Her she is in the final pics.  It turned out Ok for what I had to start with.  I used Testors paints, gloss Black and Lime Gold over Black.  The hood scoop came from a 49 Ford kit.

Another great save - Imagine you putting a 348/409 into something - I thought I was the only one who had a dozen of these things in pieces - evidently not the only problem is I haven't gotten to mine- nice job again

Another "Studie Beauty"! I have two unopened kits ot build and they just moved up the list! One will be showroom stock (since I've never built one that way) while the other one. . . well, who knows? That's the beauty of that great Raymond Loewy design!

Wow! I like it. That color combo is just great on this car. Very nice.

Thanks guys. I have two more in boxes and one of them I hope to build as a stock Studebaker and like you David, who knows about the other one. I also think that this body stile was one of the greatest designs ever. They still look great even now.
