1954 Studebaker Conestoga Station Wagon

Thanks. It is a joy to own and drive. My 8 yr old daughter has already claimed it as hers.

 

Nick....yur still alive??
funny i was looking at this post a month ago...wondering if you got it fixed..or if you sold it and got out of 'wagons'

glad to hear its under construction

 

This car is a keeper. My great grandfather bought her new in 1954.

 

and sooooo?...hows the repairs coming?...any interesting pics?

 

Body work is done. Looks nice and straight. Still waiting on a bumper. I have located one. Just tight on cash.

 

Sorry it's been so long. have been really busy like everyone else. have been having a blast going to car shows with the 62 chrysler newport wagon, we have been driving this thing everywhere. Of course we get lots of looks. laughs and thumbs up. We can come out of where ever we are and there are always people gathered around the wagon, everyone loves it no matter their age. Have to get pictures on here one of these days.

 

What a wonderful old car.
It reminds me very much of a British fifties wagon, the Hillman Minx Series IV (I think that's the one - the saloon had a reverse-rake C-pillar and there was a lovely Sunbeam Rapier convertible derivative).

 

Wow..... It has been awhile. Sorry for the lack of communication. Changed Internet providers and had to change my email. I was not getting the subscription notifications. Thanks for all the great comments.

 

Neat old wagon. I followed one of these a couple months ago on ebay from a Collector car dealer in Clearwater Florida (username: DancinDan) I don't recall if he ever sold it, but if he did, I'm sure it brought top dollar. It was sort of a Retro look.

 

Nothing like a classic wagon, that Old's of your is a tuff looking machine.

 

I'm totally jealous. Nick, you had Dennis Gage actually leaning on your car.He's never leaned on mine.

Welcome back to the both of you, Nick and GoGrannygo. It has been a coons age.

 

Man...that Study brings back memories for the 'ol Fox. NICE wagon, Nick! And what a great history for you. And your daughter's claim on it is priceless. I sure hope I run into you at some shows etc this summer. Nice job on that nice old wagon.

 

My daughter is now 11 and it wont be long before she learns to drive. I have a 5 yr old boy that claims the "Hot Rod" (1973 Pontiac Grand Am) as his. Kids are great.

 

That was quite a neat experience. While we were at the show they taped a segment with me and the Studebaker for the show. That was cool.
