I saw only 2 Studebakers, a late 2-tone green '53 Champion coupe with early wheel covers, nice interior (but drab) and exceptionally nice paint.
AND the newest-looking '62 Hawk in existence. This car is white with NEW everything! Has what appears to be a new, correct blue interior, trunk-mounted antenna, correct exhaust deflectors and REAL wire wheels. If it doesn't bring a zillion bux at the auction then these folks just don't like black-eyed peas!! Took some pix but don't know how to put 'em on here.
Of course there are the other brand X cars there but these were the only Studebakers I saw. And the real fun starts tomorrow, tho many vendors were selling today. And I was told that some cars had already been auctioned.
Did find one vendor with ONE box of Stude stuff. I conned him out of a plastic '54 shift lever knob for $8. He also had several '63 sedan parking light lenses and '63-'65 radio bezels, along with a late model NOS door/trunk(?) lock with 2 keys. Many 6-v bulbs. On another table I saw several trunk and underhood lights that LOOKED like the ones on my car but he didn't seem to know where they came from.
All in all, this seems to be shaping up to a VERRRY LAAAARGE swap meet! I'm not exaggerating when I say there must be THOUSANDS of vendors! Just not STUDEBAKER vendors.
