Subject: Studebakers & Harleys. Date: Sun, 28 Sep 1997 00:41:30 +1200 From: David lane
I have just discovered your web page on the internet. My name is David Lane and I live in New Zealand and you and I have something very much in common. We both own a 1930 Studebaker Straight Eight Roadster, we both ride Harley Davidsons, Sally, (my partner)and I have just returned back to N.Z. from an extensive tour (with our own bikes)of a 24 States, coast to coast and via Canada. A total of 15000 kms in 6 weeks. The 57th Sturgis Rally was the central reason for making the trip. Sturgis was such a blast. What an ammazing experience. We are also life members of the Harley Owners Group. Now how about that for one hellav coincidence.
The Studebaker that I own has been in my possession for over 37years. It is cream in colour with red wheels the same as yours. The auto shutters, twin spare wheels,left hand drive, (we drive on the other side of the road).The chassis complete with scuttle, windscreen and two doors was imported x the factory in mid 1930 and the rear part of the body was built here in NZ and completed at the end of 1930 for registration. I have travelled over 300 000 miles in her. I have also shipped the car to Australia and toured extensively there. Many years ago I once spoke to your friend Darrel Dye over the phone, but then lost contact. I would love to obtain some more information and photos about your car because I may have a very early photo of your car that came into my possession about 30 + years ago. Mine is the only example "Down Under". It has been a long standing ambition of mine to ship the car to the USA and complete a major tour in your country.I will be bringing it back!! Enough of me for the moment. I would appreicate making contact with you in the first instant.
Who ever said that truth was stranger that fiction.
Kind regards, David Lane.

Dear Dave & Becky,
First off, WHAT A COOL WEB SITE YOU HAVE! ! ! ! Secondly, I want to pass along some info If you know anyone building a Bonneville or any type of race Stude. There is a guy in Bel Air MD, Frank Morawski, who runs The Glass Shop and makes all kinds of pieces ( hood, trunk, doors, grill, rear quarter panels, even a complete fiberglass '53 coupe) and the quality is exellent.
His pieces have allready been used on Bonneville cars exceeding 200, and I know personally that he is very conscientious about his work. I hope this might be of some interest. > Thanks for your time, > Jeff Crockett

Needles to say we were very surprised to see our car on the web. your web site is very nice and a very good promotion for the Ant. Club. Ive been telling Dick Quinn he needs a computer, but he says he does not want to learn to use one.See that you live in Redding. We were through there twice this year so far, were down into ariz. looking for parts.I think the 1930 President is one of the nicest and finest looking cars Studebaker ever built. Thanks again for having my car on.

After sifting through a ton of ads in HMN I still can't find a whole lot of information pertaining strictly to Studebaker. I would like to find some good books and sales literature for this year/model, and of course a parts supplier. I would appreciate any help that you may provide. I would also like to hear more about your club. I'm sure there are other enthusiasts that may be able to help me in the restoration process, so membership seems a small price to pay for their experience.

They don't realize all of the time that they can efficiently waste with these computers. They would get so attached that you couldn't pry them away with any kind of Studebaker story or new car to drive. NOT!

Will do asap. Been coming home too late evenings and just konking out. The Stude that I was getting ready for a customer to drive the Great Race, is finally done. However, tonight AB wanted to go shopping for a new mouse. This Microsoft mouse is too big for her hand and her wrist is bothering her. She said either we go to the store or she will wind up at the doctor's with carpal tunnel syndrome. So, we found a nice little mouse that fits her hand. Now THIS little mouse is worn out and ready for bed. I'm leaving for Vicksburg tomorrow at noon. Will visit your page and then e-mail you about the trip, too.

Hello Dr. Dave,
I got your message to call about my car. I don't know the best time to call and I don't want to interfer with your work. E-mail me at saltrace@aol.com if you want to give me a schedule.
While at Muroc the end of last month, I ran into Jim Evans and had a good visit. I had not met him before. He was able to fill in a few holes in the history of the ownership of the coupe. I knew that Dawson Hadley had purchased it from Pierson, but I wasn't aware of Jim's involvement. (Jim said to say Hi to you for him)
At Muroc, Jeff (my eldest son) drove (our new coupe) to a new record of 219.816 MPH to gain entry into the Muroc 200 MPH Club (his fastest ride anywhere). Our goal is to place him in the El Mirage and the Bonneville clubs this year as well.
The succession of ownership of the Pierson Coupe according to my knowledge is: Pierson, Evans & Hadley, George Bently, Tom Cobb (the last person to run the car at Bonneville before I got it, {1958} 196+ one-way with a blown 331 cu in Chevy), Bob Joehnck (Bob ran the car at the Bakersfield 1st National Drag meet in 1959, in preparation for an assualt at Bonnevile, powered by a Chrysler. He had handling problems so he sold the car to one of his employees. The next owner found the car parked at the curb in Santa Barbara, inquired about it and bought it, bringing it to Redding where it remained in a barn on old 44 Hwy for several years until it was purchased by Dick Schell of Central Valley. Dick got a rule book from me and attempted to prepare the car for Bonneville, but, becoming discouraged sold it to me in June, 1980. We first ran the car at Bonneville in August 1980.
If there is other info you want, e-mail the best time to contact you and I will call.

Dear Dave & Becky, I have been surfing the net for quite some time now seeking information regarding my grandfather's 1928 Erskine. Thus far I have come up with only a few suggestions from other vintage car sites that turned out to be dead ends. I was hoping that you may have some suggestions on where to find information on this rare breed of automobile, or possibly you know someone on your tour that I could be referred to. Your help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Jeremy Duhn e-mail: duhnj@mail.mankato.msus.edu PS> I just found your site this morning, and LOVED IT!!! It is good to see that some people are interested in restoring vehicles for what they are rather than building street rods. Keep up the good work!
Great page, I love the music, especially the bluegrass. Dad used to own Studebakers in the 50's. Had a 51 Commander with suicide doors. Thanks, Paul Clark in Granbury, TX

I have recently bought a 1935 VLD H-D. It is one of the mythical "I found it in a barn" Harleys. I am trying to find a detail illustrations and/or pictorial to help me with restoration.

If possible could you find me a orginal Studebaker hubcap with the name accross the center with the three rings around the out side rim. I just picked up a replica from Studebaker West. But it not just the same. My Grandfather bought the pickup brand new in 1946 because he owned a home oil heating company, Medford Mobil Oil Heating Co. He put on a 1947 hood ornament and it has been orginal ever since. The pick up has been past on to my dad then to me. In fact I learned how to drive in my pick-up and I'm 45 now. Last month I lost one of the originals on a ride and I can't find an other any where. So please help me find an orginal replacment. Call me at (707)792-1528 Pacific time evenings. By the way my E-Mail address is the same as my 1946 Studebaker's M-5 license plate. Thank you Curt Holmes
dear sir, saw your web site on the internet, is it possible to request wanted parts . i am restoring a 1935 and need a set of headlamps, clock,rear end parts, good steering box. thankyou, ken churchman, western australia e-mail olcars@bigpond.com
62 Studebaker long wide box My dad owns 62 Studebaker pick up truck that's been parked under the car port for the last couple of years. He would like to price it for a quick sale. It is a bit dusty and the battery will be down from sitting, but it was in running condition when he parked it. I would like to know what would be a fair price and then get it sold. E-mail me or if you want you can call. Kress Cave phone (702)883-7700
Thanks--I was hoping I could find someone who might look it up or better be looking for a Studebaker P.U. and would take good care of this one. Every one restored is just one more on the road continuing the name. You see I grew up in Studebakers and this is one of the few my dad didn't buy bland new. I wish they still were in business, but government mandated costs make it impossible to compete unless your are one of the big boys. I still think they are the best looking cars on the road. Dad will be selling this one at a fair price, I was hoping to see it go to someone who loves them like I do.

First of all let me say you have a wonderful site - the interactivity is great! The first car we ever drove was a brand new 1960 Chevy Impala Convertible, it is the one (my wife) Becky's parents owned when I dated her! Virgil & Iris Casebeer! We like to say that Becky taught me to DRIVE & I taught her to PARK! Hee-hee! It was Black with white coves - Red & white interior! We have one now (except it is red with white coves) we will prolly never really finish restoring as we do it ourselves & drive the heck out of it! It has the 348 motor with 3x2's. since the enclosed photo we have done quite a bite - dual antennas, fendermarkers on top, dual mirrors, fender skirts, etc. Sadly, Iris & Virgil were both killed in a plane accident two months before our wedding... They were two of the most wonderful people I have ever met! They let me take that new car & drive the hell out of it! Never got on my case! Never told me not to scratch it. They would take people in off the streets for months at a time till they got back on their feet! Harleys, trains, planes, & automobiles are my life & the preservation & enjoyment of them - I am really proud of Jay Leno establishing the Fred Duesenberg scholarship at MacPheerson College in Kansas, which offers a degree in professional automobile restoration! Becky & I are trying to get the younger generation interested in the presevation, collecting, racing, and driving of these fine machines in our own way too! We webmaster the B.A.D. (Becky And Dave's) Chariots web site. It is very entertaining - funny, music, HUGE! We are the Official Antique Studebaker Club! HCCA - Shasta Cascade Region, Redding & Chico HOG Chapters. Impala International, etc.etc. custom backgrounds, graphics, etc. Please give us a visit http://www.c-zone.net/dochemp/badchar.html http://www.c-zone.net/dochemp/leno.html - Jay's own spot too! L8ER, Doc Hemp P.S. I also specialize in Adhesion & Cosmetic Dentistry in my spare time! The photo with Becky in it was taken one year before we got married in her 1960 Chevy Impala convertible
Dear Dochemp, Wrote recently asking anyone for info on a pierson bros. coupe cutaway illustration. Here's some corrected info: Illustration is by Eddie Wimble (think I had it wrong the first time) He's and artist from England, may now be in California. Was featured in Street Rodder Magazine's Street & Custom Rodding Illustrated, Winter 1996, Vol.2, No.1. If you think this is suitable for your mailroom, maybe someone will know a source for a poster or print of this cutaway. Thanks again. Row 518@aol.com

Hello, it's me again. After I hit the send button for my last letter I decided that it would be better to clear a few things up that I wrote you. To start with, I mentioned that the car had "two spare tire wells in the one piece fenders." By one piece, I mean that the front of the fenders is all one piece of steel compared to the two piece fenders that I saw on the '31 at the car show. Second I mentioned that we messured the wheel base. I talked with my Father to find out just what the wheelbase was, thinking that acurate numbers would be more helpfull, and he told me thatthe wheelbase of the car is 118", not 75 like I guessed. Also, and I have no Idea if this is going to be helpfull at all but, the length of the rear axel - from backing plate to backing plate - is 52 3/4". Well, I hope that this cleared up any confution my letter would have caused. And I thank you again for helping me.

Hello, It's me again. Thank you very much for responding to my E-mail! Any way, the attachment to this letter has four pictures that we took before removing the car from the woods. Staring top left and going clockwise the first is a front shot of the car (as if you couldn't tell), the next is the dash of the car, bellow that is the 6 cylinder engine, and to the left of that is a side shot that would have come out better if the flash had not gone off on the stupid camera. There are two numbers on the engine block. At the front of the block the number is 172723-1. At the rear of the engine is a stamp plate with the numbers L*2*25. You said you might be able to put these in your web site under a "What is it" caption? If you could that would be Awsome!!! Thank you again for helping me on this. - Bob Martin robertmartin@hotmail.com

(a steering part broke) We will be going back to the World of Speed the 24th-27th of this month to try again. Tom

I hope someone out there will know something. Your car sure looks like our ours is not as deluxe as yours. It does't have the rubble seat or storage trunk and no metal coverings on the tires but other than that they look pretty close. If you have any information on our car or know were we can get so please let us know! Thanks alot Mike Hargous 62680 Dixon Loop Bend OR. 97701 541-385-8495
Mike, you guys have a VERY RARE car = all the 1930's are especially! You really must join the ASC - call the toll free # on our web site for the Antique Studebaker Club. Here you can place ads & see all the NOS stuff produced for your car & get a manual for it etc. good luck, Doc Hemp

Hello, Your website was just the place I was looking for. I hope you can help me. My name is Bob Foerster. I am a principal in West Lafayette, IN. Prior to becoming a principal, I taught for 16 years. One of the highlights was being selected as one of the ten teacher finalists to train for the ill-fated Challenger flight. Since that time, I have been working with local volunteers to start a hands-on children's museum that focuses on science, technology and transportation. A local businessman donated a car collection to get us started. Here's how you can help. We were given a 1924 Studebaker, model EP, 28,365 mi., all original (except the top) We need to sell the car to use the proceeds for additional displays and other projects. Could you please direct us to the most favorable location to advertise this car? We know that just using the local classifieds is probably not the best source, since there are perhaps many people who would love to have this car throughout the country.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you or any of your members are interested, they can call Ed Frickey at 765-463-9986 or email me at foerster@wvec.k12.in.us The appraisal for the car was $17,000 by Kruse. We would consider serious offers.

Tom,
We are not sponsoring (except for local hardtops, etc. - little stuff - last Saturday - our car was in first = got pushed into the wall on the next to last lap) but I can sympathize with you & Townsend - it is tough to get sponsership. But hang in there - I have NEVER heard of anyone finishing 4th in their first & one & only race of a season! I will post this in our reading room - we do have racers of all persuasions visit our site - I don't want to foster any false hopes, but every little bit helps! Guys like Guy Snyder at In & Out Burger have their established crews & full race schedules & have million dollar budgets already. They never take on new projects & if they do - they do it with the highest ranked driver they can afford. Best of luck to all of you! And I mean that! Doc Hemp

I recently viewed with interest your antique car web page. I am in Quincy,CA, and I am working on a planning committee with the Quincy Main Street Chamber of Commerce here planning and organizing our third annual (1998) Quincy Antique Wings and Wheels event at Gansner Field next to town. It is antique car and plane oriented and is held in mid to late September. We have had modest turnout in the first two years,
and would like to expand the participation somewhat next year. As you may know, Quincy is located in historic Northern California gold mining country and is a great fly-in destination with good facilities and local interest. It is located approximately 75 miles northwest of Reno NV and about the same distance from Sacramento and Chico, CA. Would you or someone in your organization be willing to assist me by providing
leads or contacts for clubs, associations and individuals in the Northern California Reno areas engaged in antique car and airplane activities? We would like to invite interested people in the near future to participate in the 1998 event and want to avoid as many scheduling conflicts with similar events, as well. If you can help, or if you know of someone else who could, I would really appreciate it. My name is Fritz Schopflin--
