AMT '53 Studebaker

Here is a pic of my '53 Studebaker

Looks great! The '53 Stude is certainly one of my favorite cars. Just a historical note for any automotive projects: The first year for amber colored turn signals on American cars was 1963. Prior to that they were white or clear.

Beauty! Loewy is one of my more favorite designers, and his 53 Studebaker is a severly under appreciated piece of art. Compare it against anything else coming out of Detroit and marvel at it’s futuristic lines!

There a Blackhawk in the town I live in that’s chopped and lowered, tubbed and set up for bracket racing. It looks like it’s going 200mph just sitting in the parking lot.

I have that same kit on my work bench for the 50s GB. I’m doing mine in red with white top (like on my box art), and will use yours as a guideline for how I’m doing. So far I better pull up my socks!

Thanks!I think the AmT kit is choice!

Another Philo-wonder.

You sure have a nice collection to show, keep them coming and this part of the forum maybe will come alive too.
