Good place to start is StudebakerVendors.com with over 100 vendors of new, used, remanufactured, and accessories for Studebakers. Chief among them is Studebaker International. Try going to Studebaker Drivers Club website....
George Barris, Darryl Starbird (multiple times), Gene Winfield, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, the late Norm Grabowski, Alex Xydias.... So many other hot rodders, builders, drivers, owners, etc. I'd have to sit for hours writing them down.
I've been a Ford or Studebaker guy most of my life, but some of the mid-50's Kaisers have been looking pretty darn good to me of late. Manhattans and Dragons are flashy and stylish, but are 4 doors. Did Kaiser make any 2 door coupes besides the Henry J and the Darren sportscar? I am not finding good links on the web to educate myself on all the different models. Thanks.
At the time it was made, The Blues Brothers scenes were the most expensive car crash scenes ever filmed, with a record number of cars chewed up and/or totaled.
I was underwhelmed by the initial post, but now I'm convinced you've done an outstanding job worthy of great praise! It's looks like a blast to drive. Good luck with it in the future!
My father lives with me and he records a bunch of old black and white movies... I sometimes sit with him and look for old cars. He'll gladly back it up a bit so I can ID some of the cooler cars.
