Pics from Back in the Day

They did rust fast. Style was way before its time.

If you ask me that style was ahead of it's time. Heard they were rust buckets? T/F?

True. I once had a 1956 Golden Hawk, with 352 Packard in it. The deeper I got into it, the rottener it was. Medium blue metallic and white with blue interior. I had to bail on it, as even the frame was rusty.I ended up selling my parts I had accumulated, and broke even. I still think they are pretty cars.

I don’t think Studebakers were any worse than other makers of the day. All of the late 50s early 60s cars rust pretty bad. Their styling was ahead of its time, and I think the early 50s trucks were better vehicles, and better looking, than the big 3 trucks.

Now a days just the hood sells for the asking price of the whole car.
