Raymond Jones 1947 Studebaker Convertible

Raymond Jones Studebaker 1950. Although signs, posts and pennants reflecting off the car's exotic bulges and curves create funhouse mirror effects, it almost looks like filets of Jag XK120 over the South Bend sheet metal along the sides, with curious fin humps suggesting retractable landing gear or training wheels. Kustomrama has the lowdown on Jones' postwar customs as well as his later adventures with cruise missiles and Bugattis. Read all about it.
