I've always known how nice the big sedans drove and assumed the 58 Starlight would be the same, and it sure is. No power steering, but with the low mileage steering box, it does not need it. I drove it around 20 miles today to shake out any issues and had a slight dash rattle. I tightened up the radio, now nothing makes a peep on bumps. After adjusting the valves I have to look at the idiot lights to make sure the engine didn't stall at a traffic light. The damn car just floats downn the road, by far the best riding driving Studebaker I've ever owned out of a few 100. I never had one with no play in the steering, not a hint of a oil leak or a rattle, I'm having fun.
