2nd Friday - anyone like Studys?

Don't see very many blown Studys around


Or tunnel rammed Study pickups either

How about an 1881 Study; original body. I'm pretty sure the engine's been rebuilt.

Hey you're right, you don't see many around at all, let alone with a supercharger. Nice! But I'm pretty sure no 1881 Studebaker had any engine at all, the first gas Study was 1904. They were still building buggies in the 19th century.

I always like the Stude styling. From the bullet nose body to the sweet Hawk and even the boxy Lark. I still remember riding the bus in grade school and going past a dealership. But then again I guess I march to the beat of a different drummer.

Me too, I've liked the speedsters and hawks. My pop had a 57 silverhawk that he put a 58 goldenhawk supercharged engine and corvette 4speed in.
If I could find one in great shape I'd gladly trade my 64 MW clone for it.

I've been looking for a nice Lark pickup for quite a while now. Studes are pretty cool.

Some of those hawks and their packard fore-bearers came supercharged from the factory!

Yep, and even the Avanti had a supercharger option. The R3 engine was rated at 335 hp.

And to your point, on his dash placard under 'Model' he wrote 'Buggy'.
