Beachball Sanchez was if not the first, near the first to recognize the 53 Studebaker as the most astounding auto design in production domestic car in American Auto History.
What he and his partners did with that car became a ongoing metamorphis in streamlining body modifications and powerplants that most of todays Comp Coupe Studebakers still draw from.
Sadly, Beachball is up with Ray the Rat and many other LSR hero's, so hats off to Joe.
I sure hope someone can sit down with a tape recorder and prod all of those stories of the 50's, 60's, and later before we lose the history for good.
Many more years to you JOE!
