Our own Randall Olson did a MOC/Conquest comparison in January of 2018, using the same model from both crafters, it being the 1955 Studebaker President Speedster.
To see his comparison and comments from the forum 43 crowd, which include Dick Browne, John Roberts, and Bob Jackman to name a few, click here

I sold my MOC in favor of the Conquest, after reading this comparison.

Awesome color combo on that Conquest Harvey!

Thanks, BenD. I still have my GFCC version (pic). Shrock Bros. still has pictures of their version on their site, as well as others, but all are listed as "not in production."

Mine has much less detailing, a smaller hood ornament, amid other simplifications. But it captures the lines, color treatments, and overall impact of the car very well.
I appreciate your posting of these good pictures. It was a beautiful car in '55 and IMO still is.
Here is a picture of the Shrock Bros. Studebaker, taken from their site.
