Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

This is just a blatant bump in case there are new eyes here on the site.

Though here is another TD with Studebaker engine that I found. It is not my dad's.

Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

I found TWO TDs with Studebaker engines in Marshall Texas! Anyone here in Marshall who could look at them for me?

FYI, also learned that the manifold was likely an Offy.

Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

Huge thanks and kudos for Tom's great computer skills!!! I have also been emailing mechanics in the So Cal and No Cal areas to see if they've seen the car. Of course, no luck so far. But one of them said, "well in 35 years, I've never seen that car. But, I happen to have this one for sale ...." And ...

Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

A slight update. I happened to see Vic Edlebrock at the Laguna Seca Reunion races last month. I mentioned my dad's TD with Studebaker 6 with his head and carbs. He said that he never had them for that engine. I'm sure my dad was not wrong that he had modified heads, intake and carbs for the engine. ...

Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

Well I found a TD that has a similar color scheme, louvers and a different radiator cap. But not close enough! But, it's also a neat web site with pictures of cars from movies that I'd never seen before:

Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

For what it is worth, I spoke to a buddy of my dad's who knew the car. He said the color of the fenders and grille, etc., was copper.

Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

Here are some more details I've since learned from something dad wrote ages ago: My dad took it to International Motors, in LA on Sunset Boulevard, where Ken Miles was the head of the service department, and Phil Hill was a young mechanic who tuned the car. The engine was a '41 Studebaker straight 6...

Re: Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

Here is the picture of my dad's TD. This is a rough copy. It is from a 3D viewer. The picture through the viewer is amazing. But this is a shot with my cell phone through one of the eyes of the viewer! When I figure out how to get a better picture, I'll post it too. On this picture, it's harder to m...

Looking for Dad's TD (like many before me, I'm sure)

Hi. I'm looking for my dad's TD. He raced it in Southern California in the early 50s - and I have a number of trophies and dash plaques from his successes. I don't have a lot of information on the car, and I can only expect that it has long since been put to pasture. But, I will do what I can. I jus...
