This forgotten Classic Studebaker was found on a farm in a barn looking garage. It has been parked for almost 50 years! Rather than leave it abandoned, Let’s see if we can get this vintage car running and driving again!

Sell it. Don't let that great car sit outside any longer
Do your thing to it Derek! Thxs
Finish the re-awakening.
Awesome video, I would love to see you clean it up, polish the paint job, and restore the interior and turn it into a daily runner. A lot of folks would love to get such an awesome car fixed up original.
same excitement face a pirate gets when he feasts his peppers on the booty. CRCing them roaches they now run at 15hp instead of 5 lol
how have you not died from monoxide poisoning with the garage closed?
I vote shine juice at least.
I can't wait till lil Bentley is in his teens and out there helping pops along with his brothers. Gonna be so cool man.❤
Love the show, been watching you for a few years. Absolutely no disrespect or anything like that, but just curious. Why do all these revivals then just leave them in a field? Couldn’t you sell most of them?
I think the old girl deserves a nice clean up, she can be a real weekend cruiser after a brake job and an interior cleanup. I say do all that, enjoy her for a bit, and when its time to let her go, sell her to someone who could really appreciate such an original car.
The People's Champion.
Careful with the paint!
HELP ME UNDERSTAND how to increase the value of this for resale. ROI vs time vested. Cost making it worth it or just barely breaking even on the things you suggested. Clean polish, interior, etc..
Fix it. $$$$$$$
My buddy has a 47 of the same model. The whole car is original and runs. Flathead 6 . It's awesomeness !
Great thermostat. I got one after looking at reviews & HomeKit compatible. Got a big entertainment rebate too upgrade which made it really affordable. You could have got a Vevore electric trailer jack for $100. Ya I know you need a battery box to mount. Then add a winch also since you have power now. Finally add a small solar panel to keep it all charged. Need to get a tankless water heater by Rinnai. Hope your shoe gets fixed soon. A lot of work to bring your house into the 22nd Century.
Nicely done although I worry about you breathing all that exhaust.
There is no way I could afford that beautiful car as the lone breadwinner to support my family affected by bidenomics. Beautiful car though! Thank you for the content. I cant wait to see what happens next with the Studebaker.
If my uncle wasn't 96 he more than likely would've love to rebuild it to factory. He did many over the years and I believe the last one was a 46 Merc.couple. I know he helped my other uncle do a 25 Chev.
Keep it and polish it up! Thanks for working on a Studebaker!
Of all your cars. She’s a keeper. Fix her up and runner down to that run down bar you were talking about. What better car for a relaxing afternoon cruise and a stop for a cold snack. Just to keep things in perspective. Know what I mean? Wish I lived near you . I would be begging you for her. She’s just a little older than I am.
such a cool little car would be neat to see it get cleaned up before you sell it maybe even Brakes
❤Sell as is and allow someone the pleasure of furnishing it up. Follow up in future.
You got it to run and drive with just a few days effort. If there is any fans that are thinking about doing a full restoration let them do the rest(maybe make a video).
I'd say this is an ideal candidate for the best Vice Grip restoration you can do! Go all out, and make it as beautiful as you can on a budget. Then you can decide if you want to offer it for sale back to the original family. If they don't want it, put it up for auction as it is a great candidate for a full on high end restoration. I am 70, and still have the 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe which is the first car my parents ever bought brand new off the showroom floor. Been sitting since 1971. It is an original New Mexico car, but has been mouse eaten so badly it needs a complete budget restoration.
Part 2. spruce this Jem up. Then drive it to my house. 😉 jk. But if you do sell it I would like to know where to look for purchasing any of your vehicles.
… 750 miles home
It’s the oil that makes the difference locked or not.
I'd love to see a series where you and a bunch of other youtubers pass around a car and fix one thing on it and add one detail to it, then pass it to the next person. Each one of you guys could make a video about it.
Studebakers are one of my favorite old cars. They were so different. I like the Rocket with the suicide rear doors.
What an awesome car. Thanks for sharing, Derek.
I'd like to buy it
It gets me right in the feels seeing all these wonderful cars out and about one day I hope to help with that mission one day thanks Derek
Terrific … You are right… They just don't make them like they use to.
One thing you did mention, that's a pre unleaded engine. Ethanol will destroy any seals and the valve seats relied on lead in the gasoline for proper seating. Did you use a lead additive and just not mention it?
I was always told too thick to do well in life but show me a car I could work out will it run last 40 years owned 4 car garages you are a Master of cars my friend
