55 Conestoga Ulta Vista Drivers door

[hi-per al]

Howdy and Happy New Year Folks. I am in need of a Drivers door for 1955 Ultra Vista Conestoga or 2 Door Sedan. I would certainly prefer rust free as the one that came on my Oregon car is anything but rust free. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx for looking....Al

Hey Al -

You may be able to ask for a Packard door also.
But I guess you're already looking for the unobtainable...!

That's supposidly what I got to put on my pink 55 wagon. But...it is a wrap-around windshield version.

Good luck.

Mr. Mike ...Yup that door that I am looking for is made of unobtainium. FITS Half of one year only and only fits Models D and model F4 with wraparound shield. Any door from 55 till Larks in 1962 will fit opening. Late 55 2 door only year with Scallop indentation in it! The search goes on. May take the bottom part of a 53, 54 door and graft it to the top part if I cant find anything. Damn cant say whoa in a mudhole. Thanx for the Packard thought....Al

Don't know if this will help but, check Craigslist Imperial County for Studebaker Parts. There is a 1958 Scotsman for sale, no picture, $1,000.00 . Craigslist I.D. 1537981404. There is also a 1955 Wagon for sale in San Diego. WAY TOO MUCH, $3,500.00 for junker.Pictures included.

DUH!!! Did it again, the 58 is listed under L.A. Maybe Riverside also. Damn finger pushes all the wrong letters. Ha!!!!

Roger...Thanx for the help but I'm not gonna pay $1000.00 for some sight unseen 58 lump to get a door that is not correct anyway. The 1500 miles away does not work for me either. At this time I am looking at ways to make a similar locally available door work. With a little luck this will work. Failing that the search continues. Thanx again for the thoughts.

I understand, just thought it might be worth a Email to check it out. Never know the guy may part out. It's not like you don't have a friend or two in the area that could check it out.
Just a thought.

Roger...Again I gotta say thanks for the thought. I surely am flattered by the friends shot. Reality is that my time window is closing as the body shop that I have my Connie in wants to move along. They are in the midst of making 2 doors 1 as we speak. Thier sheet metal work is artwork but it comes at a price that I was trying to tame.

Again...Many Thanx...Hi-Per Al
