As I sat in the library perusing an article about Studebaker Commanders, I read that about an owner of a black one, "S2D", with a "Corvette 327 built by hotrodder Dick Steinkamp"....that you Dick?
Hagerty snippet...

That's me. I built that car in the late 90's when I was still working. It was invited to and attended the Grand National Roadster Show in 2000 when the show was still in San Francisco before it moved to Pomona. I drove it a lot including Rod and Custom's Americruise from SF to LA to Lincoln, NE, and back to SF. I took the picture of it in the Hagerty article just north of Santa Barbara when I was on the way from my home in the SF Bay Area to a show in Phoenix. Lots of fun and great memories. I sold it when I started lusting after another project and figured out I couldn't keep them all if that's the way I wanted to enjoy the hobby. The young man who owns it now is an enthusiastic hobbyist. The car will be in the lobby of the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Chicago next weekend at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

Another fantastic pillarless coupe
Great pictures, Dave! 
Love it! Studebaker is one of the standing auction alerts that I have set up on BAT - and I don't have many of them.
