I guess you've heard your share of farmer's daughter jokes?

@@michaelnazaruk4100 🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻

She was a baker, and he was a stud, a match made in flower and steel! But 40 years later? What? You met at the assisted living facility, at bingo?🤪

Missle... orifice... "Paging Dr. Freud", too much!😂

Buick had a similar ornament in the early '50s. Nicknamed "The Flying Weenie" 🤔

The US6 was and can still be found everywhere....even here in the UK 🇬🇧

My dad would have tuned in to this channel

Learn something new, seems everyone made trucks and jeeps at the time

When I first arrived in Vietnam in '67 I "inherited" a M35A1 with a data plate that said 1963 and Studebaker, powered by a turbocharged 427 c.i. in line 6 multifuel engine. Most of ours had usa numbers beginning with 4D.

@@freqmgr Sounds like it was a beast, real memories

I'd like to see a story about the Lark as well! They were extremely popular around my area when I was a boy.

I think that he recently did one on a '63 or '64 Studebaker pick up with the Lark front clip.

Definitely , me too !!!!

Good Morning Vietnam!!! With apologies to Robin Williams (R.I.P.), glad to learn this video is being seen so far away from little old Bernardston, Massachusetts. KZfaq is an amazing force for good, no? Thanks for watching and writing. And why not grab yourself a camera and make some videos featuring Vietnamese junkyards? I bet there are lots of fascinating machines to be seen. I'd certainly watch! Thanks again, Steve Magnante

Morning

@@tomwesley7884 ☕️☕️🍩🍩👍 have a good day !

Oldsmobile country, eh? Must've been in East Lansing, MI.

I nipped my subscription in the bud too, HRM ran an article regarding the champions of Fuel Altered cars, and 'Wild' Willy Borsch wasnt in the Top 10, and was NOT mentioned once in the entire article BOOM tick cancel, DO NOT come Monday.. Many of the decisions they made didn;t make sense commercial or semanticly either, the magazine 'fleet' was bringing in 60% of the income (the other 40 , Online and merchandising etc) But they drew the curtains on the entire repetoire and only kept Hot Rod and a few others which I can't recall the Titles of, but there was nothing scientific about it - just the wrecker's ball on Magazine Titles that were a household name and had been around for almost half a century some of them. A LOT of babies thrown out with the Bathwater that time folks! Many irreverseable decisions that will come back to haunt them with time I think!

Yes indeed. That "house cleaning" took place on Friday, December 6, 2019 one day before the OTHER "day of infamy". I was a freelance writer at the time doing monthly articles for CAR CRAFT, MOPAR MUSCLE, MUSCLE CAR REVIEW and an occasional piece for HOT ROD. I got an email from the editor of Muscle Car Review saying "we all just had a noon / lunch meeting and 135 employees all got fired". Apparently a decision was made a few years BEFORE 12-6-19 to eventually eliminate the print arm of the Motor Trend dynasty. The question was WHEN. The answer - as we now know - came on December 6th. It is true that many of the magazines WERE still profitable but the Larger Intent was to eliminate the old-school printed media....except for Hot Rod, Motor Trend and Four Wheeler. Anyhoo, its been 4 years and life goes on. Thanks for watching and writing. Long Live Wild Willie Borsch! One of my Prized Possessions is a $10.00 check from Al "Mousy" Marcellus from 1995. He bought some old car magazines from me at the Long Beach swap meet and paid with that check. I later told him I didn't cash the check and he sort of got pissed because it upset his bank balance by $10.00! I get it, but c'mon! He's A LEGEND - just like Wild Willie! Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante

@SteveMagnante I just was angry after the last official junk yard gold episode to see the end. That show could thrive with proper leadership.

Garwood also built chassisless buses later built in Europe as Isobloc Autocar. The Garwood used a rear mounted Ford V8.

Stude may have been the first to do OHV in a V-8 but Buick used OHV in their straight 6 back in the late 1920s. The Buick Master series 6 also had full pressure lube and roller lifters. That engine was used in similar era GMC trucks as well.

@@rupe53 What's Buick got to do with anything. GMs number two premium car brand wasn't in direct competition with the entry level brands like Studebaker, Ford or Chevy...

@@nealsidor1323 ... I already answered that question.... just making comparison to what other mfgrs were doing, years before. IOW, not new technology but Stude did have a new application for it.

Glad you enjoyed

Morning!

@@SteveMagnante Mr. B. Here ! Good evening ! New internet service. Many thanks from this old guy !

So, that explains the Oldsmobile country comment.

Glad you enjoyed it

The Studebaker club was a fairly good sized organization. They even published a magazine at one time. A coworker was a member and used to give me his magazines after he read them. This was 15-20 years ago and he passed away some 10 years back. Some folks bought a lot of spare parts from Studebaker when they quit making vehicles and NOS parts were available for decades for these cars and trucks.

@@throckmorton8477 i would have to look it up to be certain, but a former Studie dealer, Nate Altman (?) and others bought the parts and Nate (and another former dealer) bought the rights to continue to make the Avanti. The Avanti would be made by various other successive companies over the years. Studies and their owners were known for their frugality. Who else would manufacture and buy a car named the 'Scotsman'. 😁

​@@burthenry7740Yes, it was Nate.

Hello edwardpatterson1237, Thanks for watching and writing. I've always enjoyed "giving cars - and trucks - a voice". If only they'd speak when I ask them questions. Thanks again, Steve Magnante

My favorite time to do Junkyard Crawl videos is NOT summer. I much prefer fall / early winter because there's no snow and the 2-foot tall grass is all gone by then. But in the summer, I have to spend a half hour slashing away grass and bushes so we can see the subject. But its good for my health. Gotta burn calories to justify my daily pizza reward (as verified by my expanding Pizza Gut). Thanks for watching and writing. -Steve Magnante

They’ve moved some production to China.

Some Federal Mogul bearings and Bower were US made.

And owned by studebaker corporation until 1979

Federal Mogul now Tenneco is still a major and main player in the automotive world. OE and aftermarket.

​@@nathanbarden9709 - Surprise, surprise.

Better to merely suspend that page... wait til Magnante, Master of Motorcars gets to a '57 Edsel. 😲

@@user-uw4yl3fv2y I believe the first model year for the Edsel was 1958 😊

I wonder what would happen if a 1950 Studebaker "bulletnose" and a 1958 Edsel "horse collar" were parked overnight, nose-to-nose? Would there be a THIRD lousy car in the garage by morning? Or would that also take nine months? Paging Dr. Freud....paging Dr. Freud. -Steve Magnante

If they had met we probably would have had the Pontiac Aztek 43 years early. 😂

@@richardsteckel2814 Sir, I'm in geezer range and remember how shocked I was as a young'in at the incongruence of the '57 Edsel's styling vs Chevy/ Ford/ Plymouth presentations.

kinda rare Freedom edition

@marktimberlake4493 hope someone saves it

Yeah, I was wondering about that Grand Cherokee myself. The body looks like it might be in decent shape, but the frame could be rusted to junk. Especially if it had a hard life in the rough Northeast winters with its steady diet of salt.

Mr. B. Here ! ☕️☕️🍩🍩👍👍
