It is still possible to find an old Studebaker which is in reasonable condition. This one was found somewhere in the States. It had been parked in an old barn, forgotten and untouched for over 20 years.
I took these images from a Vice Grip Garage video movie, found on YouTube. This movie was about the challenge if the engine would start after so many years of inactivity.
At the end of the YouTube movie the owner asked the viewers to put in the comments what to do with the car now it's finally running. Leave it like it was found, with the original patine? Or clean the car and prepare it for sale?
The majority choose for the last option.
This image is taken just after an entire cleaning treatment.
2780 cc L6 petrol engine.
