Bad to the bone

Gotta agree, George.

Agree here. IMHO, the only "flaws" in the C/K design, in relation to what has been learned through the use of air tunnels in recent years is the head lights being too "upright," the rake of the windshield, and the roof being slightly too high in the front. I will proudly sacrifice economy for the visual correctness of the head lights and windshield, as designed by Studebaker. I will say, however, if I had it to do over again, I might do a gentleman's chop on my car. Then again, I might not.

At the time, the headlights were unavoidable without going with covered headlights, as the 7" round sealed beam was the only legal headlight bulb for use in new cars. Now, of course, we'd have better options.

I wonder how it would look with some late 60's/early 70's Porsche 911 headlights (the European ones.) There's some stylistic similarity between the two cars, and the rake of the headlights is very subtle, just enough that you'd notice it on a C-K.

I just don't think you can improve on the looks of the 53s and 54s. . .one of the top beauties ever made that rolls on wheels, imho. . .
