Very nice! :thumbsup:

I'm confused. Is this made by the RC2 Ertl division, or is it a Highway 61 piece? Regardless, it's awesome!!!

Its a Hwy 61 car . They made several Stude customs .

Hi Streetfreak...
So this is the Studebaker you mentioned...just got my first view of it...!
Lots of detail....Sure is a beautiful paintjob on this one..!

Super car. Details sound incredible. I'm going to have to search for one of these.

Highway 61 has no association with RC2 Ertl. Highway 61 was started by a group of former Ertl execs who got the axe whan RC2 bought out Ertl in 1999.

Probably the best thing that ever happened to the 1:18 hobby. Best bang for the buck these days.
