A wiser man than I once said, if you can’t drive a nice classic car, then drive a cheap classic car. He (or she) was correct, because not everyone can afford a desirable classic like a first generation Corvette or a Austin-Healey 3000 or a Jag E-type…but…anyone can afford something strange like a ’55 Studebaker 4 door sedan in really nice shape. Find this 1955 Studebaker Champion offered for $7,500 in Houston, TX via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
I was planning on posting mostly old German cars this month because of the whole “Oktoberfest” thing, but then someone mentioned that it was the first day of Fall/Autumn…which reminded me there was a whole section of the country where the season of scorched thighs just ended and now it is possible to drive your […]
This next car is an interesting combination of new and old. Of eclectic and electric. Of forward thinking and green style. Of pink and blue. Yes. Somebody put a Studebaker Avanti body on top of a Nissan Leaf chassis and I don’t know if I should be excited or disgusted. Find this 1979 Avanti converted to […]
Sometimes I say I want a particular car…but I can’t buy every car that crosses these pages, so it is without any hint of irony or other-y when I say that I am tempted to buy this next car. Seriously, half of me wants to not post this for you guys and just go get […]
Happy 4th of July, freedom lovers! The Commander name was first used on a Studebaker way back in 1927 when Calvin Coolidge was president and the FCC (originally the Federal Radio Commission) started to regulate the use of radio frequencies. Ahh..the early days of the FCC…good times…what could be more American than the ever tightening grip of […]
Free car! Who can argue with that? Not this guy, or anyone else who has an ounce of adventure and optimism running through their oil-soaked veins. It’s not often we find a car that someone wants taken off their hands for a song, yet also cool enough to feature. This little Lark is one of […]
We all love a good bargain around here and most of us probably adore orphan American cars. Luckily, those two paths cross quite frequently but rarely with something that oozes so much cool. Yes, the final iteration of the Champion was mind-numbingly conventional for Studebaker in the day but today it’s a different story. Find this […]
I can’t see Tesla building self driving tanks if we went to war with North Korea, but back during “the war” most of the American industrial machine was turned into a war machine and we created things like the M29 Weasel by Studebaker. Find this 1945 Studebaker M29 Weasel offered for $5000 in Fayetteville, AR via […]
If you read DT’s tag line at the top of the page it says: “The Internet’s best fun cars, cheap daily drivers, vintage classics and custom junk, on the road for less than $20k.” Ignoring grammar and punctuation, it is a pretty powerful statement, but today I want to aim the spotlight on “custom junk.” […]
Are you a fan of 1950’s American cars? Do you like the styling of the 1957 Chevy, but can’t afford the cost of entry? Do you fancy the colors aqua and teal used together? Do like your chrome bumpers to be really ornate and made of real metal? Studebaker is an American automaker that not […]
