Ive been into and around cars for neer 60 years, building, racing,painting everything else that can be done..and had freinds with sudsy boogers.even 1 friend that had one but didnt know what it was....for almost 15 years about 10 years racing it, he did not know it was a Studebaker. last I heard it was in garlits museum south of gainsville fl that was the last time I saw it. he never could out run my car and that was a sore spot between us till the day he died. I never did understand all his bs because my car was faster,oh well.shit happens. |
Thanks mark Tucker, for sharing your knowledge on this one.
Now, where does one find a driver's door for a 1932 Studebaker Rockne? |
Do you want a used one or go Knute? |
I would prefer Knute Old Stock. _________________ nothing |

It will definitely get pulled out of there. It likely won't become mine, and it may become yard art for the guy that is in charge of cleaning up the place, but it will be saved from certain death anyway. _________________ nothing |

here's more about it
https://jalopnik.com/that-time-the-british-designed-a-car-to-drive-into-peop-1827807910
however this type of research did discover that pedestrians tended to hit the wiper arms and suffer skull fractures, whereas fractured legs from the front edge tended to be less life threatening. hence later cars had wipers below the rear bonnet edge. pedestrian safety seems to have gone out the window especially with the mums on the school run in their 4x4 lorries... _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut
