regardless of the heritage..that is one e-ugly truck...

[Reg Evans]

Nope Greg.......but.....the man that wanted to sell me (3) 49 Dodge Roadsters last year had a couple of them for sale too. It's a good thing the economy turned to $%#t or I might have at least one here now.

[greg g]

Whatsa matter Tim you got somthing against the Compton Land Rover???? That Trick Fishing rod holder had to be a big marketing item back in the day. Or you could set it up to make sub sandwiches and fill that thing with a custom baked loaf and sell em by the inch.

They made a sport wagon also'

[Plymouthy Adams]

here in the south there is a saying "don't you drive no ugly truck" if anything in the south should ever make sense that adage does..and I am sure it had to have had this model in mind..what a waste of good hubcaps...

[Olddaddy]

You are all a bunch of Philistines..........the wagon is gorgeous in the "so homely it must be pretty" manner of things. I want one!

[Plymouthy Adams]

I was not aware that when the recession hit it smack everyone square in the head..clap trap hood that sags in the middle..while spartan and no window regualtor..the sliding glass is reminisient of a guillitine, hokey scavagenger pipe exhaust, riveted grille shell..those horrendous bumpers...the roofline makes no sense..and where pray tell are the wipers?..and where is Jethro Bodine when you need him..

for all pratical purposes..that is purely an ugly truck..that could turn a guy to become an Aztec owner...(almost)

I now know what it reminds me of..a childs push toy built ty Toostietoy..it looks that cheap..

Well I see wipers on the truck, perhaps is PO deletion of the wagon. Oh and by the way Cheap was the operative word of their supposed reason d etre. Along with Reliable ad economical to operate. Hey I didn't say it was pretty just interesting.

[Frank Elder]

I thought you didn't care for Powels Tim:D:eek:

[Young Ed]

I'd love to have one. I didn't realize some were made with p15 parts. I thought the article I read about them said they were all 40-41 stuff.

[Plymouthy Adams]

ya crack me up Frankie...trust me..if there is anything in my closet so to speak..it is not a Powell...wanna see ugly...this ugly will grow on ya though..just had to get this one...

[BobT-47P15]

Tim.....those ol Studes can be pretty cool.

I forgot, is that one a coupe, two door or 4 door sedan?

[Plymouthy Adams]

hey Bob..you must have been on va-ca...this old Stude is a 50 Commander Landcuriser 4 door..has the 246 flathead and 3 speed with OD..I have never been that fond of the starlight coupes..

[Olddaddy]

I too had forgotten Tim had the forlorn, but lovely Studebaker. Absolutely homely and beautiful in their own way. I forgive you your Powell comments!
