Didn't know they started making covered wagons? Kerrville, Tx. Western art museum.
 
When my dad was a youngin', he worked at a Studebaker dealership on Saturdays, washing cars.

They paid him ten cents a day, I bet most of those payments were made with Mercury dimes.

The car club here in town has just bought a new building for their clubhouse. It was a Studebaker dealership in it's day. Some of the signs are still visable

Yep that Conestoga wagon is definitely older than my 63 Studebaker Avanti.

Studebaker Conestoga. TheStudebaker Conestoga was an all-steel station wagon produced in 1954 and 1955 by theStudebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA). The company chose the nameConestoga as an homage to its wagon business that company produced from the 1850s into the early 20th century.
 

I lived on a Studerbaker girls farm back in 2008-09 in Ohio. Her father ran the Museum until he died.
Her cousin was the president of the Studebaker Club at the time I was there.
 
Jpar, I had a '41 Champion 2dr sedan similar to yours. I was street rodded in the mid 70's by 2 guys that I later found out lived 15 miles from me. I updated a lot of the stuff that they did & enjoyed driving it to rod runs for about 4 years before selling it & buying my '71 Demon.

I got the car from a really nice old guy who was from Montana. It was given to him by his father after his sister didn't want it and he would load his lawnmower in the trunk and mow lawns for College money. He was a computer whiz for the service. Hi security and all that. He passed probably about 8 months ago. his family decided to let me have it probably about two or three years ago when he wasn't doing so well anymore. I have personal pictures of that same day with me and him standing in front of it..
 
When I was car shopping for my brat's first car, she said she wanted something different, so I was looking at cars I grew up with. A friend had something similar to this for sale at the time.

389 tri-power Pontiac powered, Muncie, narrowed 9", 15x10 Torq Thrusts in back 15x5s in the front.
Came to my senses and got her the '72 Swinger instead. :wtf: am I thinkin'? Getting my 16 yr old daughter a 350 horse Pontiac? :lol:

That car would be kick a$$, I`d drive it .
 
We had one identical around town about 10 yrs ago. It looked stock but had a Buick Grand National engine in it. It was a nice ride and fast too.
