1942 Studebaker Coupe -- Incredible ALL ORIGINAL -- original paint and interior! This car is 100% ORIGINAL and in GOOD operating condition. 6 cylinder, 3 speed with overdrive. Purchased by Lester Selzer, Protection, KS new in 1942 and has been in THIS family until its donation to the 2013 KS MCC Sale. UNBELIEVABLE, AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, and WONDERFUL are some of the adjectives that come to mind when describing its amazing originality and condition. VERY, VERY NICE. "I had MDS over today and we gave the old 1942 Studebaker a good cleaning out. As you can see we really got into our work here. This car is REALLY cleaning up nicely. It is over 70 years old and has NEVER been restored. It is in absolutely amazing ORIGINAL condition. When I was a kid it was possible to find these old cars in many old garages and barns; but that day is long gone. To find an original car that has NOT been restored happens very, very seldom anymore. PLEASE get excited and help the Kansas MCC Sale promote this very special vehicle. Contact local car clubs and collectors in your area. THANKS so much for any help you can give. We really need to get the word out on this one. THANKS and wishing you all well, Jerry Toews" |
