    Hey, Murilee. I think I mentioned this before, but maybe I didn't. That Rambler American you guessed as a '61 is almost certainly a '63. The grille is definitely from a '63, as is the trunk lid with the "330" badge (the 220, 330 and 440 trim levels were introduced in '63, which was the last year for this platform).



    While it warms my heart to see my beloved AMCs so well represented here, I have to echo our Perambulating Entertainer friend's lament as to the relative dearth of Studebakers. Such is life, I guess. If they aren't there, you can't shoot 'em, right?

    @Mike the Dog: Hell, I don't know how or why I decided that car is a '61. I'm scared of changing posts once they've gone live, what with the Server Hamsters Of Fury, but maybe I'll try to fix it after they've had their meds.

    @Murilee Martin: I'm guessing you based it on the DOT approval year molded into the taillight. the lenses were the same '61-'63, so they all say 61, just like the ones on my '63.



    EDIT: If you fear angering Nibbles and having him eat your posts, don't bother changing it. I'll just try to remember I mentioned it already.

    @Murilee Martin: 'Server Hamsters Of Fury' would be an excellent name for a rock band. Catch 'Murilee Martin and the Server Hamsters Of Fury', live at the Jalopnik, Saturday and Sunday only. Fifth caller to correctly date the Rambler American gets two passes and a signed 'Save the Enzos' T-shirt.

    @Mike the Dog: I never, ever go by the DOT taillight numbers when trying to figure out the year of a car. Taillights stay the same for years and/or get replaced frequently. Mostly I go by the Standard Catalog.

    DOTS really makes me appreciate how spoiled I was growing up. My town had the occasional Golden Hawk and DS19 sighting. Word is there is a Bentley I've never seen, not to mention all the ancient, solid iron trucks throughout the county.

    I'm not faulting you, Murilee, but the lack of sufficient Studebakerage is utterly disappointing. My roommate's father owns a '48 Land Cruiser and a supercharged '64 Daytona on top of the '65 Cruiser.

    Alameda needs a Studebaker enthusiast.

    @A strolling player: Sometime last year, I had an all-too-brief glimpse of a Studebaker PICKUP--a creature I didn't know existed. Based on my research after the fact, it looked to be early '60s. Obviously restored, and visiting a NJ McDonald's. Just weird, in the best way.

    @A strolling player: My GT Hawk came from the Bay area a few years ago, so I'll take partial blame for the dearth of South Bend's finest in this elite group.

    @A strolling player: I know this is a damned poor substitute for DOTS Studebakers, but here's a link to a set of all my Studebaker pics. (there's a pickup or two among them)

    @flyingstitch can't comment from work anymore:I knew a guy who had a Studebaker pick-up, and I believe it was from the 50's era. I really think they might have been made even in the 40's. It was light green, and it was his daily driver.

    @Mike the Dog: Don't apologise, this is the most excellent Flickr set I've ever seen!

    In return, and for those of you interested, here's a set I took of my roommate's '65 Cruiser at Audubon Park on a lovely spring afternoon.
