Beautiful shoot John! The Lincoln looming in the background is perfect!

Excellent pictures John. I like this model in both color combinations.

The badging upgrades and the finish make this a much more desirable model IMHO. Great pics, John.

I envy you John! You take incredible photos! I'm not a photographer by any means, nor do I want to be. Â
I have both the Studebaker in your photo and the original "colors reversed" version, both are spectacular models. I'm not particularly fond of the cars styling, but as a model it is great.

The '57 Golden Hawk is beautiful in any scale or color combo. Great pics of course.

I absolutely love this car in white. It sure is an absolute beauty and the color displays the class the car really had. John's pictures are outstanding as well, especially the one with the 56 Lincoln in the background. I have both of these models in 1/64th scale, but would really like to have that Golden Hawk in 1/24th. Gorgeous car and "Dyn~O~Mite" pics John!!!

This is the one that I said I missed getting. Maybe one day I can park it next to the gold one.

Gr8 pics as usual, John. A fine and handsome Stud, indeed. The 1956 Continental Mark II in the background really caught my attention, though. It looks particularly stunning in these pics. It's not a Lincoln, though. It's a Continental, built by the Continental Division of the Ford Motor Company. 😉 🤣 Â
