Not quite a split-window Corvette (somebody was on their game the day they designed that Vette), but a fun looking car nonetheless. Any car-guys (in the non-gender sense) know what it is?

Edit Add: Oops, should have read to the end of the thread (had to flip forward a page) before posting to see that Commissioner 2jakes had already answered.

Mr. Fade , I can tell you from experience
that the rear window "sleeping compartment" on the Stude were not as comfortable as my father's Pontiac. ;)

Ahhhh, the big dip sticks for the tanks. That's a severe sense memory for me -- you had to smear the end of each stick with a viscous purple cream stuff out of a little Vapo-Rub type jar before dropping the stick into the tank. The cream would turn red if there was water in the bottom of the tank, alerting you of the need to Deal With The Problem. I don't remember ever ordering any of that purple stuff, but it always seemed to be on hand.
