supercub Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Looks great from the views provided. Not many pics to judge it by, but the steering wheel looks like it was painted brown and the paint is shrinking maybe, it should be restored to coincide with the asking price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Was the dash painted the body color, and wood grained as shown, from the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it appears that the ground color of the dashes is the body color, while the inserts are wood grained from the pics on Google Images: '36s had the most stylish dashes, but '37s got quite simple and GM-like: Edited June 24, 2022 by Hudsy Wudsy (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not a Full Classic. An extremely optimistically priced car. Someone trying, in vain, to recover their original investment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 How can you ask $65K for a car and only show three repetitive pictures and a fourth picture that shows rolls of disconnected wiring hanging under the dash? Kind of a turn-off for me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchan Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Some folks put a premium on the "batwing" rear windows, but at a multiple of #1 money, seller is just trying to recoup an investment, and we all know how often that strategy succeeds. A really stylish economy car. The dash is outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans1965 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I have seen two of these in my life. Incredible design. 65 grand for a well restored car, why not. Buy half a liter of paint for 50 USD and get the engine done, ready for the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aunt had a '36 sedan, and the dash was painted, not grained. Not sure if it was original, but it sat in her garage since the 50's, and as frugal as she was, I can't imagine her having the dash painted. The dash on this car looks like skillfully applied contact paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President is the top of the Studebaker line. Dictator is the bottom. I know of a beautiful yellow 36 President that must be worth 200K! Right?

1953 GMC Hydra-Matic Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I see that some of you guys think it’s a scam, but it’s not. I’m willing to take offers. And yes to you guys who say I’m trying to recoup my investment. True. So unless you have restored a car to this quality you may not know what it takes. Just saying.
