10 years ago my wife looked at me in early December and said "are you going to get that car or do I have to get you a Christmas present." She then accompanied me to Maine to fetch my original 24 Studebaker special 6 once the snow melted. Fast forward to this year, lucky she is red headed and likes green. This year I drove across town to get this 54 manhattan and drove it home on Christmas Day, proceeding to give friends and grandkids rides. Just joined club and thanks to Jim Lape I have answers to most all my current questions. Learned this one on my own yesterday after the heater core took a dump on my garage floor, drilled small hole thru inner fender to access pesky screw on bottom of heart core casing, better n trying to remove in entirety. Should be back up this weekend.
