Tom, what kind of "shed" do you have your Studi in? Does it hold up with your type of winters-like snow, wind???

It's a Round Top from Menards, 12 x 20 that I bought on sale a year ago. It's the second one I bought from Menards, and the first one is still up after 10 years, right behind this one. I should have just bought another metal shelter that Menards sells for about $800. The Round Top is too flat on top, so it collects a lot of snow, and you loose too much space with the slanted side walls. It's also taller than it needs to be. I layed down plastic over the ground, and up the sides about a foot, then layed down 3/4" plywood, then covered it with good used free carpet. It makes it much nicer inside and I can lay under the car without getting dirty or too cold. :)

Thanks msmodela. I wish the paint was as good as it looks in pictures, but the restorer got a bit slack on the final prep before the paint.

Hey we need more photos of your car Tom. If I have your car correct it's even cooler from the side...

Tom,

Forget to Refresh when I went back to main page; it took me several tries before I realized what was wrong. My brain does not work well all the time !!!!! it is called "AGE".

MERRY CHRISTMAS from TEXAS YOU ALL!
Purdy and Tom You two made me thirsty for Egg-Nog! My little brother told me he found that LactAid had an Egg-Nog that was great!

Christmas Parade today in Leipers Fork, Tennessee 12-13-14. Mike Wolfe entered his red pickup. I was hoping he would drive the 32. Fun parade, Merry Christmas!

That Little 28 Plain Vanilla Non Restored Coupe is Absolutely Gorgeous! Top Looks as Though it has been redone? Sport Coupe without Landau irons or Business coupe with out oval window? Wasn't there a business coupe without the oval window? You talk with the driver or?

No such luck. Mine is just the two door sedan, not the Starlite Coupe.

You're right! It sure feels good to be back driving a Stude. Bought my first one in 1969 while stationed in El Paso, TX. Still have that 1950 Commander that cost $85.:)
