Vehicle Detail
Time to thin the herd of Studebakers we have. This 1951 Starlight Coupe is one of the neatest Studes ever built (my opinion). To get it over with, let me start with some negatives on this car. The left door glass is cracked as seen in the pictures.Both front fenders have rust repair ~ look at the close-up shots.Trunk floor was repaired. My opinion, the repairs weren't done well.The chrome has pitting, typical of a car of this age.Very slight oil leak very typical of all Studes. Nothing to worry about ~ my opinion.Now, for some positives of this well built automobile. She starts right up and runs down the road very straight and rides very smooth.Brakes stop her, but they should be reworked.Tires are decent.Headliner looks good.Seats and carpets are nice. So to answer some basic questions: No. It's not rust freeNo. I wouldn't drive it 500 miles home.Yes. It will run fine around town.Yes. The paint is presentable, but far from perfect and definitely not show quality.I encourage you to come and inspect this car. I have a 100% favorable rating and want to keep it that way.

These modifications make starting quick and easy and keep both 6V batteries charged well. ***
