My 1960 500

I felt my little red Corvair looked lonely in the garage so I got a big blue Studebaker Grand Turismo to keep it company!
Whats the most unusual looking car

I bought this car out of feeling and some bad photos on classiccar.com and had it shipped to the UK... It's no show car, but will make a nice original driving car!

They do look very nice together!

I'm exited to finally have a V8 powered car (not that there is anything wrong with a sporty boxer 6 of course!!!)

After 4 days of detailing the car is looking very nice.

Studebakers are still my first love, I would like to have another someday, either a GT or a 53-55 coupe

There are surprisingly many in the UK compared to Corvairs

Great looking Silver Hawk in the best colour combo! The 53 Starliner is probably one of the nicest looking coupes ever made? Yes the GT is a very grown ups car, but I love it

I was just in Rowlands Castle and Portsmouth this summer. Nice area, far enough away from London.
I picked up this old Triumph and then drove it all over the UK and through 10 countries on the continent.
Congratulations on a great Corvair and a lovely family.

Wow thats a brave trip in a old Teiumph! How did it go?

It went great, an endless stream of fun and exciting memories. We had a convoy of 5 old Triumphs and lost one of them (not pictured) at 4500ft up in the Swiss Alps. We had fixed the cooling system 3 times and thought we had it licked but it started overheating during the climb. With no place to pull over we had to keep going until there was a pullover. By then it had warped the head. We turned it around and rolled it back down the mountain to a nearby town. We packed everyone and luggage into the other four cars and finished the trip in Amsterdam.

Sounds epic!
