Post by: cliffrod on November 24, 2021, 07:25:29 AM: A. 64 1/2-66 Mustang front fender that had GT badges attached.
B. 1965-66 Mustang Fastback, parked next to

E. Don't know what the minibike is, just what it isn't. I think the handlebars are fabricated, not bolted on like they were originally installed.

Post by: Moparnut72 on November 24, 2021, 08:12:54 AM: I also thought D was a Lowey Studebaker, but the front suspension doesn't look right but the body does.

Bill

Launched that when summoned by "higher authority," and so only voted on "C." Still think it's a Falcon.

D is, I think, as others say, a '53-55 Studebaker. Had a '53 Champion with, I think I remember as, a flathead four. Sweet thing could not get out of its own way, but I had some halcyon moments in that car. :wink:

Post by: Moparnut72 on November 24, 2021, 08:53:30 AM: Actually your Stude probably had the 170" six. During that period Studebaker did not use 4 cylinders. That six was a very anemic engine though. I once bought 1950 truck for the nice body for my later running gear, V8 and granny 4 speed. That six was a gutless wonder, it was worn out though in it's defense.

I don't believe suspension or frame (at least what's visible) is correct/original either but figured I would just claim the body ID. So many got butchered. One of my step father-in-laws was on his 3rd or 4th Loewy Coupe that was being street rodded when I was in that family. He had cut up lots of stuff but to date had never finished one.

During my sculpture apprenticeship, I was first officially hired as a "Studebaker Mechanic" to skirt closed-shop Union rules until I could better prove what I could do with hammer & chisel. My Master Sculptor had just begun restoring a 55 Speedster Presidents Coupe when I arrived (won lots of concours stuff after completion) and then began a 57 Golden Hawk. The Speester was drop dead gorgeous. Never liked the Golden Hawk as much.

Within 2-3 months of my "Studebaker" employment, I was full Union as an apprentice stone carver in the Granite Cutters. But I still have my well-worn original Studebaker service patch on my apron.

Post by: Moparnut72 on November 24, 2021, 09:33:50 AM: I can't believe I keep misspelling Loewy. His legacy does not warrant that. It's too bad the company went out of business but they brought it on themselves.

Mustang

500

D. Stumped everyone …foreground is a Dusenberg (sp?) I believe he said…..but everyone is contradicting my info from the dock manager….w all the body parts in a stacked storage bin in front of the car

But cliffrod saw the Roadrunner in back of it!
Title: Re: Always a fun trip to the dry strippers
Post by: RinkRat II on November 25, 2021, 08:07:56 AM: Well I'll have to give you that the parts in the bin are Duesenburg, but the vehicle between the parts and the Roadrunner is a Studebaker. Here is a pcture of a Golden Hawk being restored and the firewall and front suspension are the same. My $.02

Post by: Moparnut72 on November 25, 2021, 08:55:02 AM: I am not at all familiar with the Hawks, looks like Studebaker upgraded the front suspensions with the Hawks from the earlier models.
