The story – documented both in email, but also in maintenance slips detailing prior owner/prior owner’s grandfather. This was a one-family car prior to my ownership, and the owner took care of it with Studebaker-focused vendors in California. The prior-owner’s grandfather obtained the car in 1964 from a legal settlement with the Studebaker dealer in Beverly Hills, CA. The car then passed from grandfather to grandson, back to grandfather, then finally back to grandson – and both took great care of it. New (original spec) front springs 3 yrs ago (back to factory spec after an earlier change to lower the front). The significant paper-history that comes with the car includes a lot of details on engine build, maintenance, parts, and registration/ownership history.
Issues:
- There’s a ripple in the front left fender, right at the air vent, which may be worked out of the panel, but it will require fender-off work and paint;
- There’s a smaller ripple in the left-front fender, just at the trim line, and this also likely can be worked out of the panel, but will require fender-off work;
- A small hole in the passenger door (lower right corner) has been filled and painted, but that repair should be redone more-professionally;
- Assorted scrapes and nicks have been patched in matching paint, but the paint is overall good, not great – and the car would need a paint job to be perfect;
- The wheel well trim is good but not perfect – I have replacement NOS purchased at South Bend, but not installed, and will include with the car;
