It was posted on a facebook page with the caption - 1933 Studebaker President Speedway State coupe. Total production of the Speedway Presidents was 657, of which about ten are know to survive. I did have a list of those survivors on file, and there is apparently one surviving coupe. I guess not a lot of coupes were built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If not Saoutchik, possibly Figoni & Falaschi. Who else did over-the-top, lavishly flamboyant as prefectly as these custom houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 WOW guys it just keeps getting better and better! thanks everyone. Lots of really great and odd stuff. I love odd! ( how did you guess that?) All of these photographs and images are making you think just how wonderful just about all of the designs were of that era. AND it was all done with a pencil on paper - nothing computer generated. A slide rule was the computer of that generation( who here has to look up what a slide rule is?) In the early 1960s as a teenager when I was at a Franklin Club trek ( their name for the annual meet) I remember seeing Carl Doman ( he was an engineer for the Franklin Company) figure out what would be a decent tip for the staff of a country club where we had lunch on his slide rule he kept in his pocket. Never forgot that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the only ones that didn’t have soft canvas sides with dope on them. The term comes from all the tin can food stuff left in the trailer parks. The actual association had a hood mascot that was a open lid tin can. The club still exists today, and has a yearly meet.

Walt G Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 The White bus was in Hempstead, long island, N.Y. when it was in an accident ( note the mangled rear fender well , dent in the body at the front and missing front bumper end. Left front tire tread is smooth, no tre Unknown make of truck as the shell is hidden by the radiator guard BUT I can date it to 1925-26, that was done by looking in the showroom window behind that was selling Franklin cars and on the wall in the showroom is a framed photo - that same framed photo I have an original copy of in my collection and shows a series 11 Franklin town car. Ya have to be observant and know to look for all the clues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Haven't search to see if this one made it to these pages or not. It was posted on a facebook page with the caption - Greta Garbo in her 1929 Rolls-Royce. As far as I can work out it is a 1928 Reo Flying Cloud. I note it has Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels which the regular Reos did not use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
