Studemino!
We've seen all manner of homemade cartrucks here, and we've even posted on the Studemino kit before. However, this is the first time we've run across a finished Studemino for sale on eBay. Don't worry, no actual Studebakers were harmed during the making of this Studemino; it's a kit car based on a last-gen El Camino. Thanks to Fodder650 for the tip! [eBay Motors]

DOTS-O-Rama Sunday: Studebaker Avanti
There's no escape from Orange County (yet), because we're heading down the 405 a ways and getting off in Laguna Hills. Laguna Hills is the relentlessly stucco-and-cul-de-sacs home of the Leisure World retirement community, where all manner of original-owner old cars may be seen... gathering dust. OC-based Vance shot this Avanti- which may or may not deserve to be called a Studebaker, depending on how much of a purist one may be- for us; to read his description, jump!More »

Studebaker Daytona: Get That Lark To The Nearest Racetrack!
Last time we heard from Vintage Racer, he was performing duct-tape heroics to keep his Datsun 510 on the weather-challenged race track. Since then, he's been sending more of his excellent photographic work our way, and today we're going to look at one of the coolest musclecars ever built, rivaling even the mighty '69 SC/Rambler. Yes, this here is a '64 Studebaker Daytona vintage race car! Make the jump to read Vintage Racer's description, and get ready for more of his photos later in the week! More »

Are You Worthy Of Alice Cooper's Studebaker Avanti?
Maybe you passed up Jenna Jameson's Lamborghini, and Lindsay Lohan's SL65 left you cold. Well, forget about those pseudo-celebs' cars, because we've found Alice Cooper's Studebaker for sale! Avanti purists might come after you with the nearest blunt instrument when they see the modern Corvette 350 under the hood... wait, is there such a thing as an Avanti purist? Not only do you get an updated suspension and drivetrain, you get a genuine autographed Alice Cooper guitar! [eBay Motors]More »
choose your eternity
The majority of voters felt that an eternity spent wrenching on a pair of Willys Station Wagons would be preferable to eternity spent with a '58 Pontiac/'62 Mercedes-Benz combo, according to last Friday's Choose Your Eternity poll. That's fine, but what if you'd prefer endless toil on a hopeless challenging fast car? Something with light weight, V8 power, and primitive 60s suspension and brake design, perhaps? The red-hot iron gates are opening- come on in!

Studebaker President? No, Packard Clipper!
Not to be outdone by her crosstown rival ejacobs, Kitt is responding to the 60-year-old International Harvester with the response from Denver's South Side: this 1957 Packard Clipper. It's big, it's pink, and it's a badge-engineered Studebaker President, a relic of Packard's abrupt decline and fall after its purchase of Studebaker. Sadly, 1958 was to be Packard's last year.

Yesterday, we had what may be our closest Project Car Hell vote yet, with the '91 Jaguar XJ-S holding a 199 to 194 lead over the Toronado-ized Dune Buggy in yesterday's Legends of LeMons Choose Your Eternity poll. I'd say that counts as a tie, and- try to follow the logic here- that means we need to do away with the unifying theme for today's entrants. You want a project that's so cool you wake up in the middle of the night just feeling happy that you own it, yet wake up screaming an hour later as you realize that the price to finish the project is your immortal soul!

Get Disc Brakes Or Taste Death: Studebakers For 1963
Since we're in a Studebaker mood today, let's see how the doomed South Bend automaker tried to pitch their products during their last year building cars in the United States. You can get a flat floor and lots of rear seat room in the Lark, or the fastest production car in the world when you got the Avanti. What's it gonna be? Either way, we strongly recommend the disc brake option. And let's not forget the crazy Studebaker Wagonaire!

With all these DOTS Bonus Edition cars lately, Kitt wants us to be sure we don't forget that her neighborhood in Denver is bursting at the seams with quality vintage iron. Last week our DOTSBE Denver machine was the Apocalypse-Ready Bronco, and now we're going to follow up yesterday's Seattle Stude with another South Bend special. This Lark looks pretty good on the left side, but the other side needs a little work. And, hey, it's for sale! Make the jump for more quality Kitt photos.

After sending us some great action shots from Daytona, VintageRacer headed home to the Pacific Northwest, where he spotted this extremely rare Studebaker Champ pickup. He had to wait for a non-rainy day to shoot it (no small feat in Seattle), but it was worth the wait. Make the jump for more photos and VintageRacer's description.

Some grumbling about the non-wagon nature of yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll (which was won, unsurprisingly, by the '38 Traction-Avant) was heard around these parts, but I usually write PCH posts the night before... and the Maximum Wagon Day thing just sort of happened without warning. So, even though we've seen plenty of wagons here recently, we're having an all-out American Dream Station Wagon Edition PCH today... and we don't mean the kind of wagons with easy-to-find parts!

Studebaker Wagonaire: It's All About The Safety!
Sure, we've already seen a Classic Ad Watch post today, but when TinaChow sent this in... well, it was so good that I couldn't wait any longer to share it. You could get disc brakes as an option on the 1963 Studebaker Lark Daytona Wagonaire, which would make it quite safe... that is, until you packed the kids, the dog, and a playground slide in the back and headed for the freeway! Too bad the Wagonaire wasn't enough to save Studebaker, but at least the Studebaker Pines are still standing, as is the DOTS Lark.

Living Just Enough For The City: 1963 Studebaker Hawk
Actually, disregard the headline, because I just wanted to work in a Stevie Wonder reference; this Stude is living high in the city! SethyT spotted this rara avis parked on the streets of New York City and was kind enough to send in some photos. Though it sports 1964 World's Fair plates, I'm pretty sure it's a '63; Studebaker experts, please enlighten us if I'm wrong.

It's doesn't come as a shock to find that Studebakers haven't made much of a showing in this series (so far we've had just an Avanti), given that the Studes were never all that common even back in the day. But hey, at least the Studebaker Pines are still standing tall, and so is this quasi-rat-rodded '60 Lark VIII!

Studebaker Pines Still Standing!
Back in 1937, when Studebaker was still going strong (and 85 years old at the time, going back to their wagon-building days), the company planted 5,000 pine trees at their proving grounds outside South Bend, Indiana. 41 years after the final Stude- a Cruiser- rolled off the assembly line, the trees' message is still visible from space.

Studebaker Avanti
One great thing about Alameda is you never know what kind of cars you'll find parked on the street. We've seen everything from a 1937 Cadillac to a Unimog in this series, but this may just be my favorite find yet. Yes, it's a Studebaker Avanti. A primer Studebaker Avanti, no less. When I spotted that distinctive front end from a few blocks away, there was no mistaking what I'd found. More »
