- Hi Everyone! This week we headed out to the local old-car junkyard again, and scooped a very cool 1958 Studebaker Commander 2-door Hardtop! I've never seen one, so I had to have it, of course! I also sewed up half of the rear seat for the 1960 Plymouth Fury, and then its off to visit Agent 7678 and check out his fantastic RCMP cruiser find that had been sitting in a field for 40 years!

If you can find a venue where those of us in the States who have a fixed income don't have to pay as much for shipping as for the swag, I'd love to buy some of your overpriced merchandise. I'd rather pay too much to you than to shippers. I once had a friend from Canada whom I did not totally dislike, so I'd like to contribute so you can put a few shekels into the stream of trade. Double the price to cross a presumably friendly border is too much for my blood.
Lol
2 weeks ago Scott saying he wasn’t going to buy anymore cars lol
Would 74 have had just a single red light?
Hi Scott , the next time you are at that junk yard could you see if they will part with the vinyl roof chrome trim on the 80s delta 88 I have been looking for3 years for it. Would gladly send money if you can get it. And ship it. Sorry but I had to ask .. love these junkyard vids
That is the sister car to the last Packard, aka the Packard Baker
"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas." Fix the lighter.
It has got a lot of pick up.
Good for running over Illinois Nazis
@@nunyabidness9895 Illinois Nazis are the worst.
You don't have a junk yard,
you have a classic auto museum.
Original patina all around.
...and he calls it Canada’s shittiest museum...
WRONG! What an awesome show...never underestimate an Albertan....thanks so much for the tour. With all the cool cars you have, please, please ditch the Le Car.
@@happyjohn8256 the le car is cool!!!
@@grantkoeller8911 with Scott driving, yes. Anyone else, no 😀. His repairs were certainly interesting as was his sister’s review. And his audience seem awesome!
The Studebaker is an absolute diamond in the rough. I hope you get her running. A rare gem indeed.
Greetings from Northwest Indiana. Stude country. I was born in South Bend and grew up 2 miles from the Studebaker proving grounds in New Carlisle. The Studebaker pine tree sign is still there. Thanks for saving a Studebaker a junkyard dog. Restore it or not, it did not end up in the crusher. Cheers, Scott, and thanks for entertaining me EVERY Saturday afternoon!
Thanks, me to , at WARSAW IN area: now moved to Helena Valley MT...A FEW STUDES here, Hagerty BARN FIND got some , SIMETHING SOEDIAL ABIUTNHAWKS, GT, SUPER LARKS, AVANTI, GOLDEN Hawk, etc. .. My great Aunt’s Niece , from SOUTH BEND had a “GOLDEN Hawk, “traded to a , & FOR A Thunderbird PORT HOLE ( 57?..never got pictures, impressive Hawk)..
@@opera93 Greetings to a fellow Hoosier. Studes were ubiquitous when I was a kid. My grandparents' next door neighbor had a salmon colored "59 Lark that we used to go to Dairy Queen in. He worked there until Studebaker closed. They were everywhere around here back then. Oh, to go back in time...
@@anthonygaby6617 thanks.. great car stuff.. Anyways, a Classmates ( @WOLF LAKE , NOBLe County, INDIANA) Brother’s 62 (??? Memory lacking), or 63 LArk : four speed, 2 Door v8.. Anyways SUPERLARK in the time period, etc. Still remembering my first sights of GOLDEN HAWKS, GT’s, Avantis....
@@anthonygaby6617 my grandparents lived on Riverside Drive close to Keller Park. The neighbor who lived a few doors down had a CItroen DS that never moved and the other neighbor had a Puegot like Scott had that was always waiting on parts.
“I’m the editor damnit!!!........ ooooooh bias plies!” That gave me a chuckle. Lol
I would love to see that Studebaker on the Road again
"I second that emotion" (Smokey Robinson)
All the youngsters will be asking, "what's a Studabaker" ? Is it a student baker ?
I wouldn't mind! I take it these cars were rare, even when new.
Tom's supervisory skills are second to none!
Just look at that paint on the van. I didn't realize the artistry that went into such a task until watching you do it. Kudos to you.
Harold Butt Scott should be proud of that one for sure.
That Studebaker at the beginning, I could imagine an angel on one of your shoulders, and the devil on the other.
Angel: it's a rustbucket money pit and you know it.
Devil: Buy it, it has a good horn ring.
rebuild cost 40k resell 30k
@@cdniracer yes but think of all the fun you will have chasing down parts and trying to get it all put back together! Actually all the 58 hardtop specific parts are there and in reasonably good shape. It might not cost as much to restore as you would think.
Did Studebaker use Chrysler roof metal and glass, that year? Sure looks like it.
That Studebaker is fantastic. Believe it or not, parts are readily available and fairly reasonable.
"It's a 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. HIT IT!"
They would have been classic in a Stude
Dad called them 'Stud breakers' LOL
I did a quick Google search and discovered less than 1,200 of those 1958 Commander Hardtops were built.
Imagine how many are left today!! Maybe just this one! And it's very complete and Scott has the sedan for parts! I wonder how the floors are?
Big respect for the Boogie Van.
Hey thanks guys! Best part is remembering all the laughs we had putting it together... Seeing people's reactions in traffic is also pretty sweet though! Cheers from out here...
@@coldwarmotors Such an amazing amount of creativity on that, agreed!
The boogie van is so groovy!
shaggin wagon
That van is the Bomb! Major car show worthy!
That RCMP Monaco- thanks for saving that one; will be a cool ride!
A little tidy what a difference 👏👌
The Bogie Van is EPIC out in the sunlight. Great stuff. 🤘🤯🎉🔥
YES IT IS! Beautiful work there.
I was thinking exactly this!!
Tom with the safety vest playing the part of Justin in this episode.
Hello fellow insane people .I did a similar expedition over 20 yrs ago .I brought 3 cars back from many miles away (northern Ontario) .I’m still awaiting the opportunity to rip into one.I got a 75 gran fury an 2 royal Monaco’s all in the Ontario provincial police black and white livery.2are 440s one is a 360 2 bbl (they wimped out mid 76 I assume due to the mpg they got I assume again)
Another kick ass episode! Junkyard Stude, Fury interior, a cop car with a broken cigarette lighter, and another look at the awesome paint on the Boogie Van! Scott, you are The Master!!
............ I've had dreams about this beautiful Stude eversince you first showed it a while back. The only 1958 Studebaker that is more rare is the Packard Hawk ! I am so glad it was rescued by someone who cares enough to fix it up and make it go again.
Love Tom being the Supreme Commander Supervising Scott and his Agents so funny, and away Tom had to go.
Do a live broadcast right now and ask "should I buy everything in that lot?", and we will fund the endeavor. Awesome stuff! That Electra is outrageous
Deuce and a Quarter all the way ! 👍
Not even the cars, just buy the whole damn lot 😂
Life is good ! A 58 Studebaker And a sister who brings you soup ! You have the life my friend !
When they said "One man's trash is another man's treasure", you took it seriously. Love this channel!!
That level 1 tidy was great!!!
Which begs the question... how many levels of tidy are there? What are the contents of each level?? :)
Thank you Scott! I was afraid that I was going to have to cut the lawn! 🤓👊👍☮️
Can you imagine how Tom must talk when he's angry? Hahahahaha!
Great to see Tom on the reel. The back window on the Studebaker
is the prettiest I've ever seen.
0:46 When Studebaker had its flirtation with the Foward Look... seriously Scott, a very nice find!
And they were flirting with Packard or is it the other way round?
Very Chrysler like . Very.
Love that old Stude! Tom is hysterical as always. Fury update is cool!
Absolutely makes my day so much better look forward every week for Cold War Motors Hi Beutfull FRankers 😁😁😁😁😁
I like how the engineers added pods to the front fenders, to convert it to 4 headlights, using the '57 fenders-good cars-a shame they had to shut down.
That Studebaker is killer!
Every 5 minutes of this video - one incredible adventure after another!!
58 Studebakers are so rare and a one year only style and so cool.....they look so much like a Mopar product of the day
Hey boss! Glad you like this one... I figured it had to be worth grabbing because I have all of the parts it needs on my sedan, and all the 2 door-only stuff is accounted for...Cheers!
@@coldwarmotors Very Windsor-like from the firewall back. Cheers
@@coldwarmotors i know where a 57 chevy sedan delivery wagon that used to be a cop car in texas still got the light on the roof any takers ??
"Well, it's 1958 and everybody else has dual headlights. What are we gonna do?"
Vic Mabus Being Studebaker I'm surprised they didn't use duct tape to hold the headlights in.
Well we will just make an extension of course! Good job dude you just got a raise!!!!
Of course they gave up and went back to two headlights for '59 when they downsized to the Lark.
Couldn't've said it better myself (-:
@@wysetech2000 Maybe duct tape was invented in 1959? (-:
I've never seen a 1958 Studebaker before, my life is now complete. I thought the looks of it would kind of grow on me but,.................................no. Man is it homely. I'm glad you gave it a home. Could we have a will it run episode on the engine?
With Tom and sister on the scene at the same time, things get even better.
The Studee's looking pretty solid.....and she's got a great side-profile...if the engine isn't seized...patina car....it doesn't look any harder to get on the road than the Kaiser. Right? Oh, yeah, that had a lot of videos on getting it back to daily driver.
@Randall Johnson He's got so many irons on the fire now.
Wish I had the money to do that Cammander right & bring it back as close to original possible. Such is life. One never knows. At least pot here in New York is finally legal now, lol. Thanks for sharing.
The Commander would be a great companion to the Fury.
A pic of them together would be cool.
Yes it would indeed!
First time for me seeing a 58 Stude hardtop, glad you scooped it up! Love your channel Scott!
I am very happy that you are saving the rare Studebaker! My father only survived WW2 because he was able to escape with a Studebaker.
Big like, thank you! Studebaker is a fun surprise, a classic example of CWM yard 'turn around', now offcourse the question is, Will It Run 👍
Love the Stude! I hope it gets restored. 👍
9:36. Holy crap I just bought one of those 1968 Plymouth Fury wagons.
that Stude is a beauty !!!!
Friend Jim is a dude we all know
From our timely Kinneddian show.
Sez he ain't we glad
That you and me had
Such a feckin' great time in the snow.
The Unknown Poet
Editor's note: Oh, yeah.
I wish my Uncle Ken was still around he was the absolute Studebaker Junkie
My god I laughed so hard during the post opening but Scott stealing the cigarette packs was so funny
Totally Loving the Stude Scott! I missed out on a 58 Packard Hawk a few years back by 30 minutes...Still kicking myself!
Is it the same body. I thought it looked sililar
@@gordonborsboom7460 not exactly the same body but both derived from 1953 Studebaker Louis Coupe
Hey you need all these Scott lol I don't mind Tom's mouth we all talk like that around here 😂
Love the Studebaker. That's all my grandparents drove. Helped drive my grandma from Florida to Oklahoma in one when I was 14? I believe the second one was 57 cool. Where is this salvage yard? They crushed everything down here in the 70s & 80s. The Boogie van is all that, and a bag of chips. Paint is beautiful!!
Down here in the lower 48 we call those 58 Studebakers "Mud Sharks" because they look like one, My friend Dave had one for years and finally sold it.
Mud shark....I was tryin to think of what those remind me of and there it is!!! 😆👍
@@kennethscofield4565 Hope you guys gett'er going. I watch Cold War Motors all the time. Say Hi to Frankers!
Saturday just got awesome! Thanks for another episode!
I would love to visit your museum. What you have is an amazing collection of automotive history that would otherwise be lost. "Museums" usually don't have the depth of your collection. Thank you for saving these beauties and sharing them.
I love the fact that Studebaker said,... "We need 4 headlights for 1958!" It's so cool looking!!!!!
As always Scott,, I love the videos and your upholstery work is awesome Please don’t kid yourself by saying you have nothing to teach. It’s Great and worth showing off to all. Anxiously awaiting next week Scott and Kudos to all the agents. Big Fan : Kurt McCarthy
Good to see that (just as we here) you were blessed by a bit of spring-y weather up there, at #ColdWarMotors. I mean - we also wear our caps & sweaters every other damned day. But hey, the grass starts to be green again, eh? :-) Cheers!
Left a big thumbs up for all the memorable one liners and heckling from Tom this week!
If I could visit only one car museum in Canada this would be the one. The buildup for the police car had me guessing it was a 69 polara. More Fury work 👍
Scott, your sewing machines skills are
Exceptional for a rookie. I was an upholstery apprentice and now a tailor shop owner. The topstitching is very well done.
A Tarantino style sewing video, with Scott's guitar music as the soundtrack?
Yep, I'm in!
YAY!! DEAN jacked up the car and put a tire and wheel on. Tom says one nut will do, laughs, then leaves. 1958 Stude cleaned up really well! You do good work Scott! But I missed you bending metal this week. The Seats REALLY are looking great. Your Multi-talents just make us squirm with joy! Thanks for sharing, stay well and enjoy all there is to do! Rich
Van is Amazing only words that comes close to how good it looks Hi DEAN 😁😁😁😁
That looks like a superb rear bumper on the stude. I will take any of those cars as they would be a pyramid pile of rust dust here in Nova Scotia. Expert use of that Mr clean magic eraser to clean the barnacles off that old girl Scott.
Dang! That Studie is legit! Congratulations!
I’ve never seen a more rare car for the right owner. It must have been destiny.
OOHHH MAN! Studie save, BOOGIE VAN display, and legit RCMP Monaco!! Awesome episode, wonderfully set off by classic Tom @ 22:05!!
For my tastes, I nominate for episode of 2021!(or...1st half, anyway)
Love, love. love the Boogie Van! Tom in top form is always entertaining and I'm sure his efforts canceled out the swear saving from the sewing montage lol!
That 74 monaco is a great score, can't wait to see it again.
That Studebaker is pretty cool......Ashe's boogie van is friggin' outstanding....it belongs in a magazine...btw...Jonathan W has a Studebaker Hawk on the road...pretty original...he re-did the interior
I appreciate how you guys love rusty junk. Very cool to see these old cars being saved. Much respect.
To save the rarity how could you not purchase it!?!🤩
The Stude was a surprise alright. Let's see if there's any other surprises in the next episode!
Cheers guys!
Love the time-laps! Imagine the junk yard doing the wash and clean up, they could have gotten three hundred more ...maybe! Drive that Stude to So. Bend for the annual meet and you'll find a buyer!
Good one Scott !!!
The Boogie Van looks awesome , wicked with the sun on that paint
That Stude is a major save !
and the Buick is a treasure
I am sensing there will be a serious thrash to finish the Fury in the near future
Those RCMP Mopars are rare,
I would love to see a “Will it run?” video of your new Studebaker!
that is a cool car for sure!
The Saturday tradition continues.....
Great one guys, Big thumbs up on Boogie Van in sunshine Great Paint!!! Always a Good Time watching Preggars Play!!!
I really enjoy this show. Wish it was more then once a week.
Tom is a one of kind guy...you gotta love when he makes an appearance! What a great find on the Studie...I've never seen a Commander. How in the hell did that duck noise @ 49:39 get in there...LOL!
Your is a “ no kill shelter” thanks to all from north carolina
Tom is a real life cartoon character! Cool Studebaker, I love the old forgotten cars.
Oh my! That van paint in the sun! Too cool! That Studebaker 259 has all forged internals and solid lifters. Got to do a 1st start! Kudos to Dan for taking the long drive for the Monaco.
I've been waiting all day for this!!!
Got to love Tom's New York vocabulary.
I thought those fins were 'glass. They'll never rust. Nice Studebaker find. There were half a dozen cars I'd love to bring home. That's a nice yard for oldies. It's always a pleasure to see Frankers having fun.
thanx for staying the course its very encouraging to see you finishing the FURY thank you so much
I attempted some seat upholstery this winter... I still don't know what I'm doing but I can swear in five different languages...
Ausome Studebaker man in Detroit and all over the USA people would use the stainless side trim on the sides of them or black and white checkerboard on the sides of the rear quarter's , guys used to try and use all of Chryslers cool trim doge cool trim and Plymouths cool trim 😎
It warmed my heart to see the Studebaker saved and it cleaned amazingly well! The Boogie Van was fabulous in the sun but the 74 RCMP Monaco really made my day! A small correction, they still made the base Monaco in 1976 but it had concealed headlights too. I have one, a triple green bare bones one. It was sold new in Finland with a 440 like all others but at almost half price compared to a loaded up Brougham.
Always good to see another ex-Saskatchewan car saved.
It needs a Set of Rider Dice hanging from the rear view mirror.
Love Tom!! Can you do a 1st start on the Studebaker? Dan's police car is awesome. Great show as Always!!!
Be proud about the upholstery! You show people with the right effort it’s possible diy it. Tangled thread could be due to loose thread on the bobbin or the timing of the machine being slightly off.
We all seem to have so much time into the fury just watching you, we do forget that it’s an hour show and that work doesn’t get done in that hour it takes days and weeks to get what we see so keep up the good work, I love the forward look you are doing Virgil proud, I go back and watch all the fury videos at least once a month, next the 61 fingers crossed lok
For joy for joy , I`m so glade you got the 58 Stude ,the last full size commander made , and all those goodies under the hood fantastic . The 57 champ will bare you a lot of useable parts . GOD BLESS , Studebaker Kary USA
Scott, YOU HAVE TO light body work and paint the Studebaker. Come on man that car is begging to be put back on the road as unique as it is. Put that one on the "will it run list" for one of the nearly next episodes. I am so glad you escaped injury twice from Dan flogging you with the tree, and then Dean with the the almost jack handle mishap. Cannot wait to see the Blues Brothers Monaco project started. Thanks to Ash for bringing out the Bodacious Boogie Van. Man it really pops in the sunlight!
Yes. This one should be the winter beater! Not the wasted time on the Le Car. The Le Car is for Greta Thunberg!,
Dang the van is looking so nice shining in the sun !! Wow * * *
Hey that is a cool Studebaker you bought there. It has the right home now. I love Dean's enthusiasm in helping you out. He is a great friend. For someone that is not a car seat guy, those seats are really nice. The police car made me smile the second I saw it. I can't wait to see it running. Keep up the great work guys. The new camera is very clear.👍👍👍👍👍
13:54 Now I can't get K.C. and The Sunshine Band out of my head.
"I'm Your Boogie Van, That's What I Am..."
Instant time trip to 1977. Love it!
