The last time when I announced my 51 Pontiac somebody said something about doing an 1950 or 51 Studebaker. So I went to work on it and came up with this Poser model. It was a whole lot harder than the Pontiac. I hated these cars as the ole' man had one that he would let my brother and I take to town. Double clutching, slow moving tank was all they were. Not a "chick" cruiser for sure. Have a Merry Xmas and hope you can use this in your art. File is pending so should be in freestuff soon Schurby

Great work. Also, wasn't there a "bullet nose" with a wraparound rear window? Way stylish, as I...err, I mean, somone older than me, remember. garblenotoldbutbuilttolookthatwaysnix

Thanks! Beautiful work.

Now you can do a Hudson! Or a Packard!

Or, if you're really in the mood: an Edsel.

Pretty soon, you'll be able to add Oldsmobile models to that list.

Maybe that bullet nose for the rear was on a older car, I know ours looked like the pictures.

Great job!!! My Grandfather had those and also a Kaiser Fraizer that he swore by and wouldn't let go no matter what Grandma threatened him with. LOL Now my Dad had a '55 Buick Roadmaster that he got somewhere and even an "older" car when he got it, it would FLY! And it looked sporty too for a big car. I spent some time flooring it as a teen. ;-)

Greg, This is fantastic. I didn't like the car back then but I do now. Great work and thanks ever so much. OK, How about a....1959 Ford Skyliner Retractable HardTop?

I think this is what garblesnix was referring to in post #5 above. Yeah Way stylish! Maybe a little too stylish.

Amazing, thank you! It's not American but if you want something distinctive, you can't do better than one of those classic and oh so French Citroens that seemed to be in every Euro spy movie.

Glad I found this thread - very much wanted to say thankyou for sharing this one! Dare I start a sing-a-long? "Movin' right along, footloose and fancy-free..." Cheers

"Damn, that bsck window looks like a windshield. Like that car has a front at both ends...

When I was a kid these Studeies were still running around, I remember them being called "Which way is it going" cars.

I also remember somthing about Studebaker using the same sheet metal presses for forming the trunk and the hood, because they had to save money, which is why they looked like this.

The 53 Studebaker Starlight Coupe (also called the Raymond Lowey Coupe) was a real nice design, though. Message edited on: 12/20/2005 09:35
