I have no idea when I bought it but my wife started putting up my hot wheels cars on a shelf, and I saw one very odd one that looks a lot like a car that Doug drag races. It’s actually scary how close the two cars resemble each other. 
Check this out Buckhorn!!

Which makes me think the hotwheels is nothing like his car.....the windshield is different, the hotwheels rear end is different....... Well, they both have 4 tires, purple paint with decals on the side. 
Whoooops! I just thought Hotwheels didn't do a great job recreating his car.

Lol.... From the front they look a lot closer Riley but your Hot Wheels replica is a Henry J, not a Studebaker. Easy mistake though given neither one have been around for a long long time and do have some similarities. An interesting fact though is that the 1952 Henry J was available in the Sears Roebuck catalogue in 1952. And like the Studebaker, a lot of them went on to become drag race cars as well.

My buddies Henry J. Huge small block Chevrolet power
Many many years ago there use to be a sweet small block chevy Henry J at Oyster bed Bridge track in PEI. Early 70's we didn't see many cars in the East that wound uplike that car....
Aaaaaaah! Glad to have you guys on the site! I don't think I've ever seen a Henry J. Very cool. Now, that looks more like my Hot Wheels.
Yup sonny.... us oldtimers are glad to have you young whipper snapper kids here too.... reminds us at times like these just how wise and worldly we really are....
I seriously believe the newer generation is too confident in technology and doesn't respect the path paved enough, but that's a totally different topic.
Just tell them to own a sports car and live on 2 km of dusty gravel road. They will soon learn to "respect the paved path"....
Just kidding Riley. I know what you mean.
