As some of you know Tracy and John try to participate in "
Crazy" Monday Night Studebaker Chat. If you're interested in joining in, you can visit the following link after 6:00 PM Pacific time on Monday nights:
http://1962gthawk.homestead.com/chat.html . With a few different beverages under our belts, we usually can talk about most anything.
Somehow...don't ask us how...we ended up on the subject of purple Studebakers. Craig Parslow shared some pictures of his '66 Cruiser, "Moby Grape," with us. This picture shows just how purple a purple Studebaker can be.
In case you are wondering whether the purple was a custom color, it was not! This is the touch-up kit from Studebaker that Craig found for this color.
Here is the original build sheet for the car, showing that it originally came in plum with gold cloth interior. No need to pimp this ride! It's great to know that our Monday night hobby can be educational as well as entertaining. Thanks for sharing, Craig! Can't wait to see those matching purple Converse!

ah a memory jog here. I painted your uncle Dons super modified Plum crazy. But he insisted i used silver under coat insread of gold so it would be lighter.
yep it was, a lot lighter with a purple edged towards pink hue. So i put gold scallops on it to tomne it down. Drove and won my last race in that car.
So to get on with it, your aunt decided to make us uniforms to match. Never did find out what happened to them pink shirts and tenny walker keeds. But we sure didn't wear them in red neck country racein.
