This car was restored to what I consider a daily driver that I can show. It isn't perfect. I have won awards for the car and it's fun to show and drive. The radiator and gas tank have been rebuilt. The car was painted and new interior in 2015. The seats was taken down to all metal. New u joints. It has the 259 engine that runs great but hasn't been rebuilt that I know of. I did put new gaskets and seals in it but it has a slight oil leak. The automatic transmission was completely rebuilt but for some unknown reason Park doesn't work? Drives fine so I just use the parking brake. The aluminum and chrome does have very minor putting, scratches or dents that still shines and shows well. Not enough for me to spend the money to redo. Still turns heads and alot of positive nods. The engine is dressed with Offenhouser valve covers and air cleaner. An Eldebrock carburetor with electric fuel pump. I have the originals. I have new brakes and seals,new hoses, belts etc. It has a complete front end rebuild kit from studebaker International still in the box. Still drives very good. The undercarriage is in gold condition as Studebaker undecorated the car. Only one patch done on passenger side floor. This is a beautiful car. I will miss it but have to pay off credit cards. I'm the 2nd owner. Any questions call me at 801-372-3478
