Love how everything is mechanical. The more I mess and work on modern builds /EFI, the more I miss the simplicity of old-school hot rodding. Fantastic build.
A beautiful rendition of a gasser, and extra-nice that it's not a cookie-cutter brand. Two corrections to what the owner said during the interview: (1) a brief run of 1942 private autos were produced by Studebaker; they didn't stop immediately in 1941 for WW2 efforts; (2) Studebaker didn't stop making cars in 1958 as stated. Their last US-based vehicles were 1964 models, and scaled-back production continued in Canada up through 1966 models.
Cool Guy ! My Dad passed in 2014 left my Mom a 41 Studebaker Champion 289 auto she gets it out time to time ! Also has a 39 suicide 4 door commander that His Dad ( Grandpa ) bought in 1961 ! Basket case in the Garage ! Dad loved those Studebaker ! ✊✌
What a beauty!!!👍👍👍👍 An old friend of mine in high school bought a 1941 Studebaker Coupe and made a Gasser out of it with another good friend. Jimmy Sheehan and Phil Sheldon. We lived in Downers Grove Illinois at the time and they raced it at Oswego Drag Raceway. I believe that it had a MoPar 392 Hemi for power for power. This was back in the late 60s and early 70s. Bob Snow had a 41 Willys with a Hillborn injected small block Chevy. He was another neighborhood friend. Those were definitely the good old days.
Nice car , he did a nice job, of course in the engine department that’s seventies tech with the 454. Don’t know this guy, but if he raced during the sixties he doesn’t show his age. That means he’s mid seventies in age now. And yes he was wrong about Studebaker production ending in 58 and also Studebaker had Stewart Warner gages, but their not marked as such on their faces.
Ah the good old days. In Baltimore, the Hot Shoppe on Harford Rd, The Circle on Dundalk Ave. and the Thunderbird on Eastern Ave. were the places to meet. My uncle used to drive a motorcycle and was looking for his friends and drove through the Hot Shoppe lot, pulled back onto Harford Rd. and did a second loop to look again. He went to pull out and another guy, then another guy started doing the same thing. Soon a few more bikes joined in and it actually blocked Harford Rd. Eventually the police were called and since that night, motorcycles were banned from entering. For a while in the 2000's these impromptu car shows would be held every weekend at mall parking lots and at Walmart lots around Baltimore and Glen Burnie, MD. I do not know if this still happens. Shrewsbury, PA has a huge gathering of cars on the third Friday of each month held in the parking lot and on the grassy area on the hill next to the cemetery at the Amish Markets between I-83 and York Rd. (York Rd. is called Susquehanna Trail in PA) with entry on the Trail as it is called. This road actually runs from Baltimore city to York, PA. On a warm clear Friday, there can be over 1,000 rods showing up, all driven as anything on a trailer is prohibited from entering. It is either a dollar or two dollars for you to park with all the rods. Very cool, from 4 to 7 pm but get there early. Lots of food available in the market along with ice cream and drinks but nothing with alcohol.
Actually the ’42 Commander and President were largely carryovers with only detail changes. The 1942 model year didn’t last long because the federal government ordered the industry into war production exclusively, like most automakers. Before production stopped on January 29, 1942, approximately 17,500 Commanders and 3,500 Presidents were produced. When World War II ended in August of 1945 and civilian production resumed for the 1946 model year.

To me stuff like this is much more interesting than anything modern.

Perfect car. Job well done. Studebaker ran until 1964 in Southbend Indiana and 1966 in Hamilton Canada.

With a Chevy engine? I don't care. Signed-Richard.
You are incorrect about Studebaker stopping auto production in 1941 because of WWII as I have a 1942 Stude coupe very similiar to this 41
