Purchased from an estate. These cars were in a heated garage since new. They had a caretaker that kept the garage heated at all times.

@Rumple70 How much?
@Rumple70 How much for the studebaker.
A JOHN DEERE 212. I have one and I am fixing the push rode. It sat in a barn with a bung of tractors I will post some videos for you guys. But it will take a week or 2. They are in a barn at my sisters and dads.
Don't see what being heated has to do with it. Seems like that would only encourage critters to congregate inside in the notorious Hoosier winters. No thanks -- properly-prepared vehicles sleep just as well at 30 deg. for a few months ea. year as they do at 65. Paint and tires aren't significantly affected, either, and if so are easy to replace. Dad had a half-restored '56 Mercedes conv. that weathered 27 yrs. in an unheated by weather-tight garage, and it came out fine.
not a barn. its a garage..
@coopercamera
fail.
this reminds of a family friend how has a model T in his barn,some other old cars,50's tow truck and a bunch of busses
HI #UN#, We'd love to re-post one of your vids. Let us know which one and we'll post & circulate it right away.
Harv.
this car has been well cared for.
Nice cars I got a 67 Cadillac coupe deville convertible that's a limish green with a black interior.
The gas tank fill is behind the left rear taillight. On the Caddidiliac. You push the reflector in and it pops up!
Get rid of those points , Convert to HEI , Feed her 13.5 volts and she'll fire right off!
is the caretaker still alive??
So the wood stove has been burning "every day" for that many years? Why would they do that in the summer time??
Amazing how much that Studebaker's grille resembles a '41 Cadillac's! It almost looks like a seven-passenger limo! Nice finds!
You got that right !! Hell after 6 months they won't ))
that ELDO is a sexy ride
ALL BEAUTIFUL CARS......i especially liked shape and look of the first black one..bonnet was HUGE too.
Wow! What a find!
I want a 1950's Series 62 pretty bad
god damn that car is beautiful classy both of them wow so preserved and keept in perfect condition
emdb1981--- Actually the Cord was a long time AFTER the first FWD. The Gräf & Stift was the first.
According to various sources, sometime between 1895 and 1898 Gräf & Stift built a voiturette with a one-cylinder De Dion-Bouton engine fitted in the front of the vehicle, powering the front axle. It was thus arguably the world's first front-wheel drive automobile, but it never saw mass production, with only one copy ever made.
The first successful application of front-wheel drive was the Miller 122 racecar designed in 1924 by Harry Arminius Miller of Menomonie, Wisconsin.
that 55 cadi is the car of my dreams!
these cars had to be run from time to time. his lawn tractor was parked between the cadi and the studabaker. you don't get in a car that has sat for 40 years and just start it up back it out.
