Car Spot: 1956 Packard Predictor

The last Packard that never was ...  I love automotive history mainly to see why certain cars were designed. Some fantastic cars never saw production like this week’s spot, the 1956 Packard Predictor. I spotted this concept car at the Studebaker Museum in South Bend, IN. The Packard name is long gone but in the... Continue Reading →

Studebaker Champion a bullet-nosed beauty in any scale for collectors

Remember when cars all looked different? Studebaker's bullet-nosed models were hot stuff in the 1950s. Here's one that's affordable too!

Car Spot: 1963 Studebaker Sceptre

The futuristic concept you probably never knew existed ... Being an AMC geek, I love the story of underdogs, which is also why I like Studebakers. Born in South Bend, Indiana in 1852 as a coachbuilder (think wagons of all sorts) like other companies at the time entered the automotive business in 1902. The 1920's... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk

Studebaker was already on the ropes when it launched the stunning Golden Hawk. Thank goodness some have been restored to show off their beauty.

Car Spot: 1987 Studebaker Avanti

Its design started on the back of an envelope during an airplane flight I love this story because it's about an American automotive manufacturer that swung for the fence to save the company, much like AMC which I've written about many times on car spots here. This 1987 Avanti I spotted one day at the... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Studebaker Lark and Pickup

One of the last of the independents that just ran out of cash ... Being a big fan of the cars from American Motors, I can appreciate what Studebaker brought to market and how they tried to challenge the Big Three. Like AMC, at times they were brilliant, but other times, not so much. In... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: NEO’s 1932 Packard 902 Standard Eight Coupe

1932 Packard's beauty shines through in resin model ... You know you’re mature when you remember seeing Packards for sale at the corner used car lots and driving around the neighborhood, and mine was not a ritzy area. But for those of us who grew up in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Packard was still a... Continue Reading →

Chasing Classic Cars: What five would you own?

Your chance to dream big I daydream a lot about "if money was no object" and I had a place to store them (like Jay Leno's Garage) what five cars would I own. Of course I'd want more but in this blog entry decided to stick with five. So here you go. 1970 AMX I... Continue Reading →

A T’bird, a Bel Air, and a Studebaker Avanti show up in the same parking lot…

This is no joke as I saw recently at a car show I attended. Check out the vid.

Promo model: Studebakers

Let's start with a bit of trivia first. What TV show did Studebaker sponsor? I'll start singing the theme. Ooops, forgot you wouldn't be able to hear me. By the way, I do know all the words. One clue. Alan Young f was the star, at least the two legged one. Give up? It was... Continue Reading →
