Exactly ! Yesterday I bought a new Studebaker. What is it you ask ?....A 1963 Cruiser. I bought this car from the local dealer's widow. This car was sold from the factory to the Studebaker dealership and was never sold to a private party. It has from time to time, in its illustriast life had a dealer plate, and somewhat more recently, a repair plate. The bill of sale will actually come on the Studebaker dealership stationary, and will "really" not be sold by the dealership, but.....it is a topic of conversation.......
I just bought a new Studebaker !!!

I thought that you were looking for a wagon, but I can see how you couldn't pass up something like that Cruiser. If the car hasn't been titled, technically you are buying a new car. It will probably be difficult to get someone to honor the warranty . I remember quite a few new Studebakers in the '70s, particularly Avantis, and a few since. It is amazing that they are still showing up. A 44 year old new car. Will I see it at South Bend or the NE Zone Meet?
If you end up being given a Studebaker Certificate of Origin (Factory Title), it would be really neat to see a scan or picture of it. (Even if you block out the serial number)
I don't know if factories issued Certificates of Origin back in the 1960's? I recall my parents using them to apply for title on the two new cars they bought in the 1970's, though.
If you get one, I'd definitely try to talk the license branch or state authority into letting you keep it!
Don't forget to list it in the new Cruiser Registry:

I'd let him keep the MSO or Title...statement of facts for Historic Americana reason. The DMV Lady, Rhonda(Ca)
