I know very little about that, but I believe it's American.

Was this photo taken at a major classic car show in USA?

Post by: Paul Jaray on April 28, 2010, 02:42:19 PM
I took it from the web, a site about Studebaker, and it was taken from a Stude meeting...I'll try to find back that site.

All I need now is its name :) because I bet "42 special" won't be sufficient

Post by: Paul Jaray on April 30, 2010, 12:29:22 PM
and as you can see there are no other info about it there... :-\

Am I allowed to ask around in certain forums? Maybe someone talked to the owner at the show

I can't see why asking for permission!

I thought this one was solved. there was a picture posted (now deleted) that has a cartel where could be read: "Bill Bill's All Studey 42 Special"
Title: Re: PJ - 255
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 20, 2012, 04:58:14 PM
I have that pic...but are you sure it reads Bill Bill's?
Title: Re: PJ - 255
Post by: Oguerrerob on July 20, 2012, 05:11:09 PM
Sorry, but that's what I read.
Title: Re: PJ - 255
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 20, 2012, 05:22:05 PM
You find out a big trail to follow.
We have a name (All Studey) and probably also the builder...let's see if someone knows Bill Bill (or similar).
Title: Re: PJ - 255
Post by: Otto Puzzell on July 21, 2012, 02:21:32 AM
"All Studey" would be a fib by the builder - that's a Plymouth Volare grill, not to mention other bits that were not from South Bend
Title: Re: PJ - 255
Post by: Paul Jaray on February 13, 2013, 05:14:11 AM
"All Studey 42 Special" is what we have so far...

No idea what you mean - but I'll be happy to see it solved. Every 6 months or so I spend a Saturday morning reviewing hundreds of pages of custom Studebakers, to no avail. :)

I put this car in my facebook page and it's been forwarded to a Studabaker's enthusiasts club. It was solved in few minutes!!
Pal, go ahead and solve this mistery!
Otto, I'll be glad to have you too and all Autopuzzles' friend there... 
Here's the link:

So is it locked for Pal or Jim or Kevin or anyone can go ahead ? As you gave the solution away I feel like everybody (or no one) on this forum should get 2 points !
Title: Re: PJ - 255
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 30, 2015, 08:16:18 AM
The solution was there and it was discovered by a person outside Autopuzzles.
I invited him to join the site but was afraid some of my friends that are also AP members would just copy/paste it here before him.
It was also a way to let other people join the site.
Pal knew the answer and with much fairplay didn't post it.
Now, again, you just have to click that link to find it and it seems to me fair to give Pal (that was indeed the first) the chance to get the point.
1 will go to Oguerrerob too...the answer he gave was pretty close ;)

1942 Studebaker Champion modified by William Bills (of Cedar Rapids, Iowa) during the 50s.

(I don't deserve any point for that)
