Brooklin: 1935 Studebaker Commander Roadster detailed by JAM [Randy's pics]
Here are some pictures of Brooklin's 1935 Studebaker Commander Roadster that was redone by John Arnold of JAM for me. It was fully detailed inside and out and turned out very nice. I thought you and maybe others on the Forum might like to see it. - Randy

Beautiful job! Hey, Randy.....
I thought you were in "sell" mode. I guess it's juts too hard to shake the 1/43 bug!

John, While it is true I have been selling some of my models, I have........
been still buying models to. I still have plenty of 1:43 models. But I have been concentrating on and wanting to upgrade some of the models I have like the 1 pictured above. I have a few Hudson models that John Arnold has redone for me and I have plans to send him some more Hudson models to be redone. I also just picked up a real nice 2 tone 1 of 1 Hudson model From Steve Overy at Illusta models and picked up another MOCUSA 52 Hudson convertible from Bob at Dominion Models. Looking forward to the Hudson wagon from Buz at Route 66 and the new 41 Hudson coming from Minimarque. To be honest I have been caught up in this buy, sell, buy, mode for awhile and I am kind of tired of it. So I am kind of cleaning house and I am going to try and focus on re-doing my own models, and upgrading some of the models I have, and buy models that intrest me, but not buy everything just to buy it. I do not know if that makes any sense, but thats the plan. I have only a few more models I will list on ebay and I will be getting away from the selling, buying, selling, routine I seem to have gotton myself stuck in LOL ! So when John Arnold has a little more time I will be sending him 2 of my Newbank Hudsons to be completely re-done, and that excites me. I will always have, and be collecting 1:43 models. That I can not get away from ! RANDY

Great looking model! I wonder how much courage (?) it would have taken to drive this one in the depression era. Whew!

Did your Torino sell? I'll bet that was rough to put up for sale. It's beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful model!

The thing I like about you, Randy...
is that you are never stuck in a rut. The advantage we on the Forum have is that we get to share in your adventures! Keep us posted, brother!

Good on ya, Randy. Sounds as if things worked out well. And you're right, it's always better to buy an older car that someone else has put all the
restoration effort and money into. And a garage or at least a carport would be a
good idea, too, to protect your investment.
Glad things are working out so well. That French buyer will have a ball with
your Torino, in the land of Citroens and Peugeots! He might even be able to
drive it down some of those narrow town streets....

Wow, Randy, that's beautifully done. This must be a highlight of your collection.

(PICS) John Arnold's 1935 Studebaker (No Slideshow)
Here are larger uncompressed photos of John's 1935 Studebaker without the Photobucket slideshow. John is completing another two-tone Studebaker Roadster. I will post those images soon.

Many thanks, Dariush, for the detailed information. This Studebaker would deservedly be the centerpiece of any collection.

The only improvement I could suggest is that the top be removable, so we could see the interior of this beauty.
Outstanding model---thanks for the enlarged photos.
