Anyone Win This?

Post by Idris »

Dis anyone on the Forum win this lot?
The main photograph appears to show a metallic blue 42b Studebaker, as catalogued by the NAMC (but by no one else!). I did ask the seller for photographs of the Studebekaer, but he ignored me.

Here are cropped photographs from the listing. As you can see, the first one appears to show a metallic blue Studebaker, but this is less apparent in the other two:

I had never heard of a Met Blue Studebaker.This specimen does somewhat show a metallic finish or could it be the angles and lighting?

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

Bob has/ had this model in his collection that was listed as light metallic blue in 1973, so that expensive odd model still exists somewhere. I would tend to call the model you show in this Post a dark blue rather than the lighter shade used on these Studes, so I doubt it was similar to the light metallic blue model Bob own (s), (ed). I see the strange looking color in the one picture Idris, but as you say the other two show closer to a stock Stude color than that one. kwakers

Looks like a standard version in the darkest shade to me - 2 dark spots on the roof are signs to me its a 2 coats of blue candy coat over the usual pale blue primer.Photo is grainy
