      I still don't understand why people throw these cars into a barn and don't do anything to them for decades. Now after rotting away for 30+ years they want to bring it back out and restore it. Had they put the car in a garage and monthly started the car and/or washed it, pumped up the tires, etc., the car would still be flawless. I have a 2019 Golf R that I bought brand new in 2019. It's my play car so it doesn't see rain. Once a month I wax and detail it out and after 3 years with only 1000 miles, the car looks better than it did when I bought it. The battery is on a tender so it's fully charged. When I do drive it, I warm it up slowly and try to drive it at least 10 miles so everything stays lubed. If you are going to park it and do nothing to it for 50 years, then just sell the car...get rid of it.

    First and worst, when you get the new brake drum you will find that the hub is permanently attached. The drum is supposed to be removed by taking off the nut in the center and using a special heavy duty puller designed for this type of brake. This error is not entirely your fault as the wheels on the LEFT side of the car are supposed to have left hand threaded studs. Somehow, the brake drums were installed incorrectly. If the new drum you ordered has right hand threads install it with the correct lug nuts. To make a 100% correct repair replace the remaining left hand wheel studs in the front hub with right hand threaded studs and nuts. This type of wheel stud arrangement was discontinued in later model years and the car will operate with all right hand threaded lugs. Since you have broken all of the wheel studs you must remove them from the hub and mount the puller with 1/2 inch bolts. The hub mounts to the axle shaft with a tapered fit and a key and requires much force to remove. As to the "radiator" under the front seat, that is actually the heater core. You will find the blower fan inside the right front fender. This is normally connected to the heater core box by a 4" flexible hose. This was probably removed by whoever removed the engine. There were also water hoses which connected the heater core to the engine cooling system. What engine to put in the car depends on whether you wish to do a complete restoration or make the car more dependable for every day driving. A restoration would require the original engine be put back in the car. Many Studebakers have had Chevrolet engines installed. This is quite easy as Studebaker used Chevrolet engines in 1965 and 1966. You can use factory original components such as engine mounts, transmissions, exhaust systems, radiators Etc for 1965 and 1966 model cars to install a Chevrolet engine in nearly any Studebaker built after 1951 without having to make major changes to the chassis or body. For further information contact the Studebaker Drivers Club.

    In case everyone else hasn’t told you already, that “radiator” under the seat is part of the “Climatizer”. That’s the main heater core for the cabin. There should be another small core up under the dash for the defrost and the blower assembly is behind the passenger side front wheel. The little “doors” on the front fenders lets fresh air into the heater or directly into the cabin.

      Interesting! My (nearly identical) 1955 coupe didn't have the "Climatizer" option, apparently. Mine has an after market heater core that bolts to the inside of the firewall. I wonder if the Climatizer heaters were limited to the hardtops? Does anybody know?
      I've sure seen similar under-seat heaters. My London Taxi has a similar sort of heater - under the passenger seat in the back! (No comforts for the poor sap driving the taxi! )

    My dad had a 1955 Studebaker President Speedster. The Speedsters were easily identified by a circular medallion on the side trim just behind the door opening. There were only 15,000 of these made and they were intended to be owned by the dealers themselves. It cost my dad $3800. It had a tri-tone paint scheme of a white top, Pimlico gray hood, fender tops and deck lid, and Congo ivory lower sides. The seats were upholstered in Congo ivory leather. The front bench seat had an asymmetric back where the driver's portion was approximately 1/3 of the whole. The reason for this was to make it easier for passengers to enter the rear seating from the curb since this car was a two-door coupe. The carpeting was red horse hair. The inside door panels were also leather, this time in Pimlico gray. I believe the headliner was white leather. All of the leather interior was cross stitched in a diamond pattern. The instrument panel was made of machine turned aluminum and supported an array of Stewart Warner gauges with a tachometer. The speedometer ranged up to 160 MPH. The engine was basically a Cadillac engine with smaller bores in the cylinders to give a displacement of 289 cubic inches. It was topped off with a Rochester 4-BBL carburetor. The automatic transmission was a Borg Warner 3 SPD of the same type as used in the Mark X Jaguar sedan. This model had more chrome and stainless steel trim than any of the line. My dad's car had the optional stainless steel wire wheel covers.

    On the wheel studs, first try drilling a hole in the center of the bolt. The bit should bind and spin the bolt out. If that doesn’t work try a self tapping bolt and that will definitely bind and give you something to use to turn the bolt. Hope that helps.

    I always like to see the before/after shots of the car. Also the owner’s reactions.
    You asked about cars our parents had owned. My parents had some nice cars when I was a little boy-Austin-Healey 3000, ‘65 Thunderbird. About 1970 my parents bought a ‘65 Mustang. I fell in love with the car the moment I saw it. I drove it some in high school and college in the 1980s. My parents kept it for me while I was in grad school and getting established. I was finally able to pick it up when my father passed away about 10 years ago and haul it a couple of states away. It needed work. My mother was able to come to visit and see it running; she got to ride in it one last time. She passed about seven years ago. Since that time I have gotten it about 95% restored. It’s won trophies in car shows. I’ve driven it in parades. I often wish I could show it to my parents.

When I was 18, I bought a 1950 Oldsmobile which had the same issue, and I didn't know that this was really common back in the 50s. Of course I was using a 4-way lug wrench, and being-- as my Dad used to say, "strong as an ox, and almost as smart as one"-- I didn't break any of the studs, but I sure twisted the lug wrench almost all the way around! Luckily my Dad came out to check on me (hearing me cursing loudly) and explained about left hand threads! Man, those were some tight lugs!

    Oh and my brother had a Studebaker detona and the Studebaker lark was a racing stock car
    Ja when my father passed on, they sold all the cars, yes I did get to take the champion, for a quick spin around the block
    Really good cars, now at my age 66, I would like to have one of them as a project car

    Too bad you aren't closer to us. My husband has a 1960 Starliner that has been garaged for 33 years and I would love to see it detailed the way you do. We hope to get it back on the road this year. Many times through the years we thought we would be ready to go, and the money was just never there. It only has 59000 miles on the engine and just needs new gaskets and wiring from sitting so long. We also plan to have the seats reupholstered. They are fabric and not in the best shape..

    When I think of the automobiles that my parents drove, my first memories are of the 1957 Oldsmobile 98 and 1961 Chevrolet Bel; Air. Later, we had a 1966 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 and a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air. During the early 1970s, we had a 1969 Chevrolet C20 with Sun Way Pickup Camper and a 1971 Buick Sportwagon while later in the decade we would have a 1979 Toyota Corona LE Liftback and a 1973 Toyota Corolla 1200. When I left for college in 1978, the Corolla was replaced by a brand new Plymouth Horizon four door liftback. The 1973 Corolla was the victim of severe rust and my mother called me in 1985 to accompany her to pick out her new Oldsmobile. She told me that she wanted the model closest to what her 1966 Jetstar 88 had been in size and style. She decided on the 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham Luxury Sedan with premium leather interior and every option with the exception of the moonroof, diesel motor, and firemist paint -- it was such a unique request, that our dealer had to special order -- twelve weeks later, on April 21, 1985, the car was delivered to us and it immediately went to Ziebart for a full protection package that would be maintained for more than 20 years -- my mother had place my name on the title beside hers all those year ago so when she passed in 2000, the car passed to me and I still own that car.

    The key on the gas cap is to prevent fuel theft.
    I am writing to you from Mexico, where plunder is an everyday occurrence. For example, if you leave your car in a parking lot, they will surely take away a few liters of gasoline that your meter will not detect, so you will not notice when you take it out of the parking lot.
    Many brands came to the market with keys on the gas tank caps. Even if your car did not have a factory key cap, they would sell them separately. You know, the eternal battle against thieves...

    My best memories of a vehicle that my parents had was a 1985 Monte Carlo SS that they ordered and had to wait to be delivered from the Chevy factory in Texas to Foster Chevrolet in Sandusky, Ohio. We got to the dealership when the car hauler arrived and watched them unload it. My mom cried. The car has sat in a barn for nearly 19 years now and I'd LOVE for your crew to detail it!

    This car is a 1955/57 Studebaker Commander. Trading in a '52 Kaiser, my dad bought a 1954 Silver Hawk. It came stock with a V-8. He drove it for 2 years and trader it for a '56 Hudson Hornet. A sailor bought the Studebaker and pushed it too hard. He not only blew the engine, but part of the engine came out thru the hood,
    The locking gas cap was added by the owner. The seat belts were also added by the owner as prior to the early 60's, American cars did not come equipped with seat belts. I added seat belt to our "60 Rambler Ambassador.
