STUDEBAKER?


Okay, everything I said in the previous post about Studebaker...ummmmm...maybe not so much. But I do see they stayed with the nautical theme, but now they were down to canoes.

  1. I have to tell you, I always thought this was their 'ugly' model, and they only produced it to offer a crumb to those who couldn't afford the Golden Hawk. Got any ad images of that one?

  2. Not that I'm aware of, but I'll keep an eye out.

  3. Hey, maybe it's the same guy and he's working his way through primary colors over his lifetime. Could be.

  4. This is the model I remember seeing in pictures. That couple in the ad looks pretty happy, so maybe it wasn't that bad!LOL

  5. Yes, and it's in that tasty mint color that was so popular.

    I think what happened is she stepped out of the car into a gopher hole and turned her ankle. He rushes to her side saying "Oh dearest, it'll be okay. Let's just sit here together and ponder our future." I mean, they obviously didn't bring a lunch and who goes out into a tropical forest dressed like this?

    Of course the reality is there's a guy standing there with a bull horn yelling "Okay people in the canoe, hold it right there...no go back...to your left...not my left...your left. Now hold it. I don't know? Stick your paddle into the mud. The water's only two feet deep. Just hold it steady. And you, model. Sit still. Will someone please spray here with some bug repellent? We need to get this shot done now!"

  6. LMAO!!!! You are too funny! I think that's exactly how it went down! Although, she kinda looks as if she were going to the prom and got waylaid by her amorous Lothario who talked her into a little hanky-panky before going to the dance. I'm thinking there was liquor involved!

  7. Definitely liquor. And he's saying, "Come on baby, just a little sip." And she's saying, "Oh Roger, I'm just not sure. What will the kids think if we show up to the prom stinking of cigarettes and alcohol?" "Well, the guys will think I got lucky." "Ohhhhhhhh Roger, you're so mature. EEE Gads."
