Five lovely ladies (and one pretty girl) and a racy roadster make this an
idyllic scene from around 1931. The photo comes from Doreen T. Deprizio,
whose mother is the young girl in the center of the photograph. Deprizio
would like to know the manufacturer of this fleet roadster; her mother
recalls the car as a Dodge, but the pictured roadster's radiator doesn't dip
down as a Dodge from the era would do. If you can identify the car, Deprizio
would also like to know about how much the car would be worth today.

I think that is a STUDEBAKER, probably a President Roadster.

duane: from the picture it looks like a 1964 studebaker avanti sports coupe if you look up the book new complete book of collectible cars 1930-1980 by richard m. langsworth,grahm robson @ the auto editors of consumer guide printed in 1987 you will find the car @ its information on page # 235 in the book . ? what engine do you have under the hood is it the standard 240-bhp 289 v8 or is it the R series experimental 304.5-cid R-5 motor with the twin paxton blowers @ fuel injection 575 bhp or the R-3 motor that broke 29 speed records at bonneville salt flats?
