Window winder and inside door handles have an interesting design that I do not think I have ever seen before. Almost if not the art deco period in some ways perhaps? Or at the time perhaps the designers intent was to project ahead into the future. We still have a pretty much totally original 39 Studebaker four door sedan around this area somewhere. I have never met the owner but have examined the car once when parked at a mall. It is original down to the original paint and rubbers. Both need replacing. The original upolstery still is intact and not that bad either. I forgot to look at the odometer but it is probably a fairly low overall milage example. Usually see it on the road each summer somewhere locally.

Even though we had a decent sized Studebaker dealership here just outside town till the end. That is the sole example running around here. Not even a lark is present. I did find the old 53 coupe in storage with no more rust than thirty or more years ago this year. It was originally in a field last time so I thought it was gone or totally rusted away years ago. Only fit now for some form of rod though. You could easily buy a good one much cheaper before the cost of restoration on that one.
