Below is 2 photos David Lane just sent me & the text, all of which I am going to put up here - it is quite lengthy but very insightful for all of us hobbiests with the iron motors! He is very knowledgeable about problems with these cars & how to make them really road worthy as he has put on over 300,000 miles on this car in 37 years!!!!!! My gawd, I've had our car 27 years & have run it all the way across the USA in the Great American Race - this is so uncanny it gives me goosebumps that we are so much alike! Not to mention riding the heck out of our Harleys!!!! Below the photos, is David's last correspondence.

Here is Jerry & Joan Wasburn above with their 28 President Roadster (equiped with modern brakes, 6 to 12 volt ignition & modern shocks - for saftey) Notice the trailer they pull. They put many thousands of miles on this car per year. Jerry is a Master Machinist - See his card below & call him for custom parts you need made.

Hi there, Our names are George and Kelly Oele and we live in Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada. We are the fortunate owners of a 1962 Studebaker
Lark. He may be a plain jane of sorts, but he's our pride and joy. We
would like to know if you have any information of any Studebaker Clubs
in our region, as we are searching for particular parts to replace and
parts that need restoration. We loved your Webpage, very very cute
dochemp :o) Love all the quips and quotes.
If you have 'ANY' information for us, please email us. Attached are a
couple pictures of our 'STUDLY'! (thats his nickname...hehehe)
Hi David,
We were delighted to receive your E mail so promptly. It is indeed a
strange feeling to
know that out there there could be another person who is experiencing
the same joys with
the same toys. Creepy eh!!!
Enclosed please find a recent photo of the President. The following are
the details you
requested plus a few more. My chassis # is 7030238 and the original
engine # is 25612.
The body number like yours is non existent. I have known of this car
for over 50 years and
it has never had a body # plate on the firewall.
The previous owner Jim Foley (now deceased) lived a few doors up the
road from where
we lived as kids with our parents. I happen to be in the right place at
the right time. Jim
even taught me to drive at age 15 and loaned me the car to obtain my
drivers licence in it.
Jim changed the colour from dark blue body and black fenders to the
cream body and red
wheels and red leather upholstery that it is today. I have had the car
repainted twice during
the last 37 years as well as having the upholstery replaced. The body
that was built here in
NZ has only one departure from the original style. The rumble seat in
the rear section is 12
inches wider than yours. My rear mud guards (fenders) are mostly covered
by the body.
Your fenders show their full shape and curvature. My car came to NZ
complete with all
the fenders and if you look up underneath, the original shape is still
their for all to see. I
suppose there maybe slightly more hip room for the rear passengers.
I like a lot of other folk, with various makes and models of old cars ,
have had a lot of
trouble with water seepage through the cast iron block, particully in
the valve chamber
area.
The condition is not all that uncommon in the older blocks of cars that
are being used
every day. The seepage is very slow and often hard to pick up at
first. The first sign of
trouble is when you run a con rod bearing and you are baffled as to the
reasons why. I run
several and it was not until I had the engine oil scientifically
analysed that water was found
to be present. I have solved the problem by having the whole engine
stripped and “bead
blasted” inside, heated in a make shift oven to 61 deg. C and coated
with a special epoxy
resin called “Bellzona” (made in Germany). It is a ceramic material that
is as hard as the
parent metal. I had it done 3 years ago and I have done 20 000 miles and
no trouble to date.
Caution; bead blasting is not normally recommended for the inside of
motors because of
stay bits of bead may still be present even after the most cautious of
cleaning. I resolved
this problem by painting the inside of the motor with a 2 pot epoxy
paint after the Bellzona
treatment to endeavour to seal up any stray bits that may have been
lodged in the cast iron
block. Because of the fear of a stray bit of “ bead sand” floating
through the engine at a
later date and ruining the engine, I carried out one last modification.
I cut the main
discharge fed from the oil pump (inside the engine ) and drill two holes
through the block,
taking the main discharge outside of the block and fitted a modern screw
on type of oil
filter and returned the feed back inside the motor to the original
position. The engine was
fully reconditioned with the usual white metal bearings. The result is
that after 3000 mile oil
changes the engine oil is still brilliantly clean.
I have just had my Stromberg UU2 carb fully reconditioned by K & K
Carburettor 30
Sunrise Hwy. Valley Stream NY 11581. Not cheap but what a stunning job
and the results
are unbelievable. I give them 10 out of 10. They know there stuff. Talk
to the boss “Jeffrey
Kanner” direct for max service. Tell him I sent you.
Finally enclosed a pix of Sally & myself and our bikes. Sallys is a 94
883 Hugger and mine
is a 94 Heritage Classic.
That’s it for the present, I could go on all night and we haven’t even
begun talking about
HD’s. More later on.
Kindest regards to you both,
David & Sally.

By the way, I have a good friend (who just had bypass surgery)

Hello Dave & Becky,
My name is Natalie Flamion. I have been browsing your website checking out
the Antique studebakers. My grandfather owned a Studebaker dealership in
Jasper, Indiana back in the 40's-50's. He died in '75 and left my grandmother
with a garage full of studebaker parts. I guess that some day we will get
around to selling these parts. After 2-3 decades it is about time to do
something. But this is not the reason that I am writing you today...
The reason that I am writing you is to request some advice or information if
you are willing to give. I am a show promoter for a monthly Antique &
Collectible Faire in San Jose, Ca. We are beginning our 2nd successfull year
and I am interested in adding an Antique car show in conjunction with our
Faire. As I mentioned, our Faire is held monthly on the second Saturday at
the Princeton Plaza Mall in San Jose, Ca. Our next faire is August 8th.
Unfortunately this brainstorm comes to me with little time to spare. There is
only 3 short weeks left until my Anniversary show and I want to put this
together in time for that. I am beefing up the advertising in hopes that this
will attract some more people to the show as well as foster an interest in
people who ordinarily wouldn't come to a show like this. Do you think it can
be done? If so, what do you suggest? I called the 800# listed on your site
and found out that your are located in Dallas....Is there anyone in your club
from the San Jose area? I GREATLY APPRECIATE any suggestions you might have
for pulling this off:) Bye the way, the website was great. I liked the
pictures of all the cars and the members in vintage dress. Good work!
Sincerely,
Natalie Flamion,

Dear dave,
Loved your web pages, I am the proud owner of two Studebaker Champs(61
and 63) while not the beautiful classics I've seen here I drive them
every day and can't tell you how much I enjoy driving and working on
them. I just started looking on the internet for imfo on Studebaker and
am very pleased to see so much . I live in South Bend so I get a lot of
thumbs up from people when I am just out an about. These two trucks are
my main form of transportation and although neither is "restored" they
both run great and I wouldn't trade either for anything (well not
anything). What I would like to do with my 61 is not so much restore it
but preserve it as is, it looks like an older truck in good shape and
thats what it is . I sort of like the idea historically of a sort of fly
in amber approach . A 37 year old truck and what it looks like only with
out any rust holes ect. well so long for now I have some other sites to
look at and I am bursting at the seams to do it. Happy motoring.

"Doc"....thanks for the reply....however I'm not sure this will connect
with you as I accidently erased your reply "without" looking at the
attachment.
Have personally owned 27 motorcycles since I started riding in 1970 and
have gone from a 1936 VLD to the 1989 FLHTC Ultra (bought in 1989) I own
currently. Twas easier to move than 2 vehicles so the cause was good
anyway as I bought a home in Pensacola.
Have been to Sturgis only once and funny thing was...I drove in my truck
thru the town on my way elsewhere. Haven't been to Daytona but Sandra
states she would like to next season (yah...hmmmm).
I am aware of Hemmings and think it's costly for the little that I would
read it...but you are probably right. Thanks for stating you would post
my notice for a 36 Coupe Express....yes, I agree, there are a lot of
beautiful vehicles out there through the years....but I still stray back
to Studes.
Will look forward to anything positive coming my way.

I've owned several Hawks over the years and a year & a half ago, I
parted with a 1959 Silver Hawk and 1952 3/4 T truck when I moved to
Florida. Hence my contacting you now. I chose not to go to Austin for
the International meet this past week and am instead stuck in Western
Florida now wondering where the closest source for Studebakers might be.
Tim, I will post your email in our Studebaker Reading Room = Hopefully one of our
thousands of readers will contact you too.
The midwest seems to have better resources. So I'm looking for some
insight as to who I might contact within Alabama or Florida for Studes.
I love the styling of the 1930's era vehicles yet also like some of the
styles of vehicle of the mid-late 50's. In cars I love the Hawk line and
in trucks the transtar seems to stick out the best.
Me too! I like all the era's & many of the different makes, so am not a Stude only
person (Shhhh - don't tell any body!)
My contacting you now is to see whether you have info/insight as to whom
I might contact in Florida for Stude information...whether any junk
yards exist, etc. The Turning Wheels identifies only a group that gets
together in Orlando at a Quincy's restaurant once a month. Is there
anything else?
From our Cool Links Room go to the SDC - your turning wheels guys.
The Studebaker Drivers Club.
You might not know....but I am seeking any website that might relate to
Studebaker for further info. Your helpful response would be appreciated.
Once in the blood...always in the blood, eh? Having left Wisconsin, I've
visited South Bend more than once.
Well, I envy you as we've never been to South Bend, But we have been to Sturgis S.D
4 of the past 5 yrs. on our Harleys. Becky has even ridden once all the way out &
back, myself - 3 of the 4 times.
Haven't been To York but am seriously
thinking of it this next spring.
Yours is a great site! Loved the pictures....and continued good luck!

sites relating to Studebakers. Am thrilled to have come across your great
site.
Being a rookie with regard to Studebakers I am keen to correspond with the
experts.
Am presently redoing the braking system on the car and would appreciate any
info (of the workshop manual kind) to help me.
Would also appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction
regarding workshop manuals and/or articles on restoring the car
Here's hoping to hear from someone soon

Studabaker it is for . I have contacted Chelsea clocks and they could only

business coupe and I was wondering if you would know of any place I could
get a few real good pictures of one like this.Most people think I am crazy
for wanting to rebuild this car,I drug it out of the woods where it was
sitting for the last thirty years that I know of.I have seen only one
picture and it was just from the back , it was in the March 1998 National

was a president coupe with rumble seat and spare on fender.My spare went
behind the seat.I would like any information on this car that I could get.

The steam engine ride and the walk through the round house was the highpoint for me as we are in the process of building a 15 Gauge (large enough for 2 adults to sit in the cab) steam locomotive right now to put around our property.

for a friend who does not have a computer. As the President of a local
chapter of the SDC, I get a lot of requests for help, but this one is out
of my league.
The gentleman was asking where he could get various mechanical parts and
some sheetmetal for a 1922 "Chubby" 5 passenger Touring Car. The car has
bucket seats (original?) and is in need of a replacement trunk lid and
numerous parts to replace/repair the convertible top.
I can't help him, as we don't have a lot of pre-war Studebakers up here
in NH. I'm hoping you could post this so someone with knowledge of this
vehicle could contact the owner and perhaps be of assistance.

Yes, Dave Lane and I are very good friends. He was the one who told me

Kerr. They know Sally and Dave too. We have had our two Studes together
on a number of occasions and always get a lot of attention when we do.
We traveled around the South Island together 2 years ago... had a great
time. Only one vintage car passed us. Lack of attention on my behalf. In
1979 I attended the Studebaker meet in Long Beach California and spent
5 weeks in the States which was really great but haven't managed to get
back that way since. But would dearly love to.While I was at Long Beach
I met Daryl Dye, and he was a great help in restoring my roadster. He
helped me collect bits for it. I stayed with Dick Osborne who also had a
1931 Studebaker plus 10 other classics. We have had 2 visits from Mike
Marjoram in N.Z. which we have really enjoyed. My wife Barbara and I
hope to follow our dream one day and go with Dave and Sally and take our
cars to America and drive across the states from California to South

Dear Dave and Becky,
Was the Erskin manufactured solely in the U.S. or was it also
manufactured in London ? I am trying to trace down a rumor that there
may have been a connection with the Tilbury Motor Body Co. Ltd at 27,
Lower Mall, Hammersmith, London and the Erskin automobile .
D. Tilbury
tilbury@harborside.com.
>>>>>>>>>>>
David,
The Erskin was much more popular in Europe than in the USA. It was called the "clu du
salon" (The Hit of the Show) at the Paris auto show. It appeared next at Olympia in
London where it sold 2000 units at the show! The reason is foundered in the USA was
that Henry Ford introduced the Ford off the assembly line at $525. compared to the
"Little Aristocrats" Erskine's $995.
If you find a connection (which might exist) please let us know as my research book
doesn't show it - but it would be great to notify them to update it, if a few were produced there.

few Americans coming Down Under for the meet. Hoping to meet some of you.
The elderly gent whom I purchased the car off, from the east coast will be
attending as well in his Lark. I*m sure he is looking forward to seeing
the car back on the road again after looking at it for 35 years in his
shed. He is restoring a 33 President convertable sedan at the moment. My
car sure took some getting, being tucked away in his shed for so many
years. Took 4 men two days to "dig" it out of it*s tomb. The car is now
ready for the interior trim.
This is where I need the help of my North American cousins. "HELP ME". I
need a pair of Control Beam headlights for a President or Commander. I
have a pair of Dictator ones which maybe we can do a deal on.
If anyone has any leads please call me at ----------- olcars@bigpond.com

I'm a new owner of a 39/40 Studebaker commander. This will be my first
Studebaker. Please help! The person I bought it from, 6 days ago, sold
it to me for a 1940. He said he had it for the last 25 years and his
great uncle bought it new. After bringing the car home, I started to
look on the net for anything I could find on Studebakers. I found a few
1940's, a President and a coupe come to mind. But they don't look
anything like mine, at least the front end doesn'nt. Yesterday I
received my first issue of a new magazine. As I looked through it I
found a picture of a car that looked just like mine. The caption read 39
Studebaker commander. How can I find out what I really have?

Mickey,
The 1940 Studebakers had more massive fenders and a greater degree of streamlining. The new Commander grille was of a large latttice -bar design with low, chrome-plated ventiilating grilles on both sides of the radiator. The model name appeared on the upper rear corner of the hood.
You need to join the ASC to find others that have the same car to help you restore it.

The Terraplane began in 1932 as a model of the Essex built by Hudson, called the Essex

Hi Dave and Becky,
I have just found the club homepage which I think is great.I live in
Sydney Australia. I acquired the above car (in a sorry state ) way back
in 1968.Around that time I joined the ASC and was a paid up member for
quite a long time.In early 1982 I moved to Europe with my work,garaged
the car and lost track of the membership.I expected at the time of going
overseas to only be away for 4 years,but 4 turned into 13.I returned to
Australia at the end of 1994 and we were reunited with the Stude shortly
after.It is a great old car,but is now a 25year old restoration and
hence doesn't look as pristine as it did in 1972 when we finished the
restauration.The car is virtually complete and original.The only non
original parts I can think of offhand are the external doorhandles,Do
you know if it is possible to find reproduction parts such as these?I
know Bill Canon was making a lot of bits years ago,has anyone taken over
from Bill's great work?
I have to admit that I am not as enthusiastic about vintage cars today
,as I was in the 70's,and am having difficulty in deciding whether to
keep the car for another few years or to part with it.This is an
extremely difficult decision as we have a great deal of sentimental
attachment to the car (we finished restauration 2 days before wedding in
August 72 and of course it was the wedding car ),and of now my daughters
are claiming the right to have it as their wedding car.But when the need
will arise could be years away.What a delemma.The other problem I have
is a lack of knowledge of the market for these cars today.Certainly in
Australia,the demand for vintage cars (except for the real classics)
seems to have fallen dramatically since the 70's.Is it the same in the
US ? Sorry to bore you with all this but as you may gather I am trying
to make up my mind whether to join the club again and keep the car or to
put it on the market.Best regards,

Hello,
I need your advice. I really want to restore this Studebaker, but I
don't want to invest a bunch of money until I know if it is worth it.
The car I am looking at is this 51 studebaker champion starlight coupe.
I called the man about it and he said that it still runs, but needs
about 300 dollars worth of engine work done, and I have looked at it and
it would need a completely new interior and I looked around for rust and
I found these little spots, about a fourth an inch wide each, all over
the car. Also, on the hood there is a big spot of it, but I figure it
can be sanded off The paint is still on, but in places there are these
rust spots whats up with that? Also, under the hood the engine was
completely rusted, but the man says it still "runs" and to me it looked
like it needed more than 300 dollars worth of work, but he owns a custom
car shop, so I don't know. But the under side of the hood was rusted and
all around the inside of the hood was rusty. I also looked at the front
bumper, it too had the little spots!Also it has a broken window, flat
tires, and a few classic parts need to be bought.
He is asking $1,400 for it, I think I am willing to offer him $1,250
for it.
What should I do? How much would a new interior cost? Should I make him
go even lower on the price? Is it even worth buying?
Thank You

I received the message below, and had it translated, and I'm hoping you can
provide this person more help than I can. I'm sure he accidentally ran
into a historical article I did on Joseph Studebaker, and could only read
the word "Studebaker".
Thank you,

It says: I have a Studebaker Dictador Touring car circa 1928 or 1929 that
I am finishing restoring. I was wondering if you could give me some
information about the car; I only need to finish restoring two wheels
(which are the emergency tires). Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks,
Really great page. Found the music as I was looking for more
info on Ted and the Chicken Hawk. Was impressed with the quality and
selections (age here is the "past 50" group, way past.) Was pleasantly
surprised to find that Studebaker as I was surfing. Brought back many
good memorys. (I raced a '53 commander coupe) Do you have any more info
on Ted? If memory serves, he was a teacher in Frankton Indiana in the
'60's. Wondered what he is doing and where he's located now. Saw the
date on the picture is '96 is that correct? Anyway keep up the good work
and all the info you have would be appreciated.

I just home from ground school. I don't feel like I've accomplished
much. The class is ending two sessions short. Young, inexperienced
instructor! I feel this episode is a real joke! The urologist has
cleared me for flight status--now to pass FAA written and get soloed.
Still a ways to go.
Will need directions up I-5 to Redding. Probably won't get there until
10 p.m. Don't have all the fun before I get there.
What do you think if I put an ad via the web to have Studes repaired at
our shop? I don't know of any other shop that advertises for vintage
car repairs. Do you? The work would be quality with references
available. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dear Dave and Becky, Just love your webb site, Have a white and blue 97

this past spring. She*s at Spring Hill Fla. and I leaavea the springer
down there till this spring,saves hauling it back and forth. But what
really drew me in to your webb was the curiosity I have for Old
studebakers. Mom, inherited a 1930 Sedan which was just a tad on the
bodacious side with the front chauffer*s quarters open and the back
enclosed. It was l939 and My father was real ill, hung on till 1946. So
only Mom worked as an R.N. Needless to say we couldn*t afford gas for the
inheritance, and it just sat out there for us kids to play in. But it
lead to a long line of Studebakers which we could afford. 194l, 1946 which
my brother rolled in a cemetery, bulletnose 1951 6 with od, As i grew older
I had a l960 Lark v8, 1963 Lark v8 and a l965 Daytona, which everone
thought it was a Mercedes. Had to say Hi and hope to see you in Sturgis,
we were there in 93 and 95 and 97.

Dear Dave and Becky,
My name is Chuck Lucas from Chuck Lucas Production Services near San

I am searching for a white1963 Studebaker Avanti with a Paxton supercharge for a still
photography shoot for Nike. I understand Phil Knight began his business
selling sneakers out of the back of his 1963 Studebaker.
They want to shoot this On April 2nd, 1998 in Oregon. As you can see, we have
a rather short turnaround time on this. I would appreciate it if you could
steer me toward someone who has this car. Do you know of anyone who has a car
like this? It is possible that we can computerize the color of the car and
change it to white if we can't find a white one.
You can reach me at (707)794-8184 or e-mail me at Clucas6305@AOL.com.
I will also try to reach you at the 800 # on your page. Pease contact me as
soon as possible. I am in a panic.
Thank you very much,

The best I could do is a photo of a 1935 Dictator - but the only difference is that the Commander
has a 6 inch longer wheel base. Hope this helps - I know the cost where you live to join

hi Dave See All,
Now I have connections in very high places (Just like U ) and they have told me that they will
definitely have the power repaired by Easter. If this is not going to be possible we have been assured by the power
company that torches will be given out free of charge with only one additional set of AA batteries. Please forgive my
format in this eM for right now my feet are getting sore through the pedaling of my "Gibson Girl" treadle generator.
WW2 relic. To think that my X wife wanted me to throw it out as rubbish. Knew it would come in handy one day,
Sally has asked me to see if you can locate any spare AAA batteries so that she can continue to have a quality of life that
she has become accustomed to. She does however point out that these will only be used in dire emergencies.
Yes it's a shambles re the power cut. It's only the Business part of the city that has no power. We live very close to the
center of town but so far we have not been too inconvenienced. The compensation to the business community is going to
be enormous.
Thank you for the contact re the tyres. Now I have a new problem with the Stude.
Last weekend while returning from Napiers Art Deco Rally ( which was unbelievable) we had the misfortune to have a
blowout in the front right wheel at about 55 mph. After some hairy driving to gain control, unbeknownst to me at the
time the tyre & tube decide to vacate the said rim. The brakes locked up the naked rim and we skated down the road
on bare steel. (They don't make steel like that today eh!) The result is I now have a round, flat, squared wheel.
(called a squircle!)
Don't go to too much trouble but should you know anybody who may have a 20 inch, 6 stud (internal) wire wheel that is
surplus to their requirements and they wish to sell ,swap, or donate to someone who's in the dark, please advise me. At
a pinch I might be able to get it repaired anyway, even if I only use it for a permanent spare.
Got to go now , feet are very sore, light fast fading.

these days. I'm looking for a few things like:
o engine gasket kit
o the aluminum step plate that fits over the bottom of the door jam
o weatherstripping
o fuel pumps (I have the original, can it be rebuilt?)
I believe one of the shocks is bad, and wondered if rebuilts were
available or who could do the rebuilding of them. Also, wondered about
the gas tank and sending unit. My tank is pretty bad and before putting
a few hundred into restoring it, wondered if any were available. One
other question, my door handles have some nice scroll work on them, but
need refinishing, and wondered if you might know what the finish is. It
doesn't appear to be chrome but not sure. Any help would be greatly

Hello Dave and Becky,
Through a strange turn, the business I am manager of, we aquired
a 1919 4 door conv studebaker that had been stored for approx 30yrs in a
n enclose storage the car is very complete but in need of restoration,
the man we bought it from claims the eng was run a couple of years back,
looking at the condition of the car it is very possible, the car came
with many xtra parts, most of the wood parts are there but would require
replacement, the car is red in color and has a potmetal star rivited to
the original front license plate , leading me to believe this car to be
a police or fire officals vehicle, this car also has an electric starter
option installed, it doesnt appear to be fabricated part , as it uses
the front cover of the engine to mount it and uses a chain to turn a
gear on the front of the crankshaft. Well to make a long story short we
purchased this car to restore it but have found it to be too much of an
undertaking at this time, (how many times have you heard that) this car
is a very important part of the history of an automobile that in it's
time was as great as anything FORD or CHEVY could produce. We paid
$4000. for this car and would to sell it for the same to get it in
someones hands beofre the car deteriorates any further. If any of your
associates would possibly be interested in the vehicle please feel free
to contact me via E mail. Thanks again for your time. Steve Jeican

Rob,
You really should join the ASC - it's not that much & well worth it - you can place free ads in the
Review. We all work together to save these great vehicles! On the 37 Coupe - I know Dick Quinn
the editor has one and could prolly help you - you can get his address & phone # off the ASC page.
Hope you join.

Hi Dave & Becky,
Just a brief note to keep you up to date.
We are having the hottest summer in 30 years.Average daily temp has been up around 30 C.Normally 20 22 max is normal. El Nino is the reason. We
see on the news tonight that you are having very inclement weather with snow & floods. Thank god you and I are the only ones prepared to face such
adversity.
The Studebaker is running just like so well. Two weeks time will see a big group of us all get dressed up in Art Deco clothes and drive 400 miles to Napier
for a weeks festival celebrating Art Deco Week.
Will send you the photos as they come through. Today I've been on a short sharp blast of 150miles on the scoot. No jacket (very unusual). Only another
rider would understand. I feel totally recharged.
Have you had any experience with ICQ or "Speak Freely" (Computer telephone) software?
That's it for now. You guys take it easy now.
Untill later,
David & Sally

Hello,
I am in the process of restoring a 1937 J-15 Firetruck. The truck only
has 2760 miles on it and was lucky that most of the parts survived over
the years. However, finding some parts have been difficult. Interior
parts in particular. Are there headliner and interior cardboard patterns
available and the right materials. Also door seals and hood seals. I
also
need two hubcaps. Any information would be of great help. I know there
are few of these trucks around and parts are uncommon.

Hi, Dave & Becky,
Haven't heard from you guys for a while. Hope you are well and as sassy
as ever.
Dick Quinn called today. I don't know if anyone has told you or not,
but Darrell Dye died on Wednesday. The memorial service is tomorrow.
If you want to send a card or whatever, you can send it to Sharon or
Colin (son). Contributions can be made in Darrell's name to the
Studebaker Museum.
There are two '32 St. Regis President Broughams for sale at $40,000 each
by Darrell's family. The '41 President and another car are already
gone. The Broughams are approximately 80% restoration complete. I
don't know too many other details.
We're flying hot and heavy in our airplane. (That's Bill and Bob--not
me. AM) For Christmas Anna Marie gave me new upholstery for the
seats. They finally got done and really look nice.
How's the weather treating you? Should we send you a rowboat or a
barge? The storms come our way from there, but they are pretty fizzled
out by the time they get here. Sorry California is getting pelted, but
we could use the rain.

I found a tool box full of tools. I was told that these were for some very early cars. I am not a tool or car expert, but would like these tools to find a good home. The sockets in this set have holes through them so a rod can be put through and used as a handle. There are many sizes and lengths. I found them in a very old leather tool box.

I got interested in Studebakers in 1973 when Archie Manning the quarterback for the
Vikings, I think, bought out from under me a 1930 Cadillac Convertible Coupe (with
wooden artillery wheels) at the Wayne Schlothouwers Auto Museum in Paradise CA. I
had already put a deposit on the car - he offered much more - they sold it out from under
me! To make a long story short I made them sell me the Late Model 1930 Studebaker
President Roadster (with the radiator shutters) for the same price even though it was
$5,000 more. Even at that, I paid 2x what the book value was on the car! Wayne
thought there was only 5 or 6 of them left. It turns out is is one of only 2 left in the world
that we in the Antique Studebaker Club know of!
THANK YOU ARCHIE MANNING!

My name is Jarred and I just found your page, good page. Anyway,
I have a M-5 Studebaker truck that my father had when he was a kid. I have
just began the first steps of restoration and have discoverd that I have a few
questions about my old truck. First of all, the title says it's a 1948 model:
however, I was told by someone who works on old cars and trucks that the first
two numbers of the serial number on the plate inside the cab, represents the
year it was manufactured ('46). But my father seems to think that '46 Studes
didn't have factory installed radios, which this one does. The only other
thing I know is that the plate on the firewall says: M-5 C-2, 46241, if that
tells you anything. So what year is it? What do I look for to clear this up?
And lastly, did '46 Studes have automatic clutches or manual? Hope you can
help me a little, thanks very much, Jarred.

Doc,
Passed on from my grandfather to myself was a 1921 Studebaker touring sedan.
It has been completely restored by my grandfather and then it sat for approx 7
years when he passed away. I would like to get it running but I need some
help. I definetely Iam going to join the ASC Club I think that is probably the
best place to start.
I am going to be 30 this year and I am really interested in finding a hobby. I
really am not sure what exactly I have sitting in my garage. It has a pickup
bed on the back, two doors, V6 flatblock engine. It looks like it may have
been converted into a pickup. I really am not sure, the manual that my
grandmother has refers to a touring sedan.
Where can I get some history on this. I would like to get it in running shape
and join ASC as a hobby.Please respond with any suggestions or info you may
have.
Thanks,

cars. I got very lucky one day when I was going through a field and found
about 25 of all different kinds (all post-war models). Back to my point. I
would really appreciate it if anyone would send me their photos. I would be
more than happy to put their information by the photo. I am not trying to
take any credit, I just want a site that my viewers can enjoy. I am also
going to add links, so if anybody has a Studebaker related link they would

Recently my father-in-law passed away. He owned a 1947 Studebaker truck
that my mother-in-law would like to sell because she is unable to use it. It is
a farm style truck, that I believe is a 1 ton. The I.D. number is M1630. I think
it is 1 ton . It is in fine condition well restored. It was owned by his
brother-in-law.
This vehicle was used for parades and events. The truck was used to
transport his other antique vehicles.
He was unaware that there was a club of Studebaker owners but I learned
this information from the net. Can you help me?

Gidday "Sport",
a tennis freek !
I'm glad that you enjoyed the article as seen through the eyes of an English Car reviewer.
Did I tell you that this magazine has only ever done a few Amercan reviews. I was honoured.
There were a number of errors.
I have the original 5 bearing crankshaft with the harmonic balancer right up by No 1 cylinder. According to my early
records there was no reference to Pierce Arrow.
There was a bit of gossip going down at the time that the motor may have come from the Lycoming works, but I
dismissed that as very odd. I have always assumed that it was Studebaker 100 %.
All the con rods have the "S" engraved on them.
I have seen some very early photos of the original Chassis soon after it arrived in NZ and the fenders were in place then.
(I have all the original export ,shipping,and delivery paper work on the cars arrival in NZ) I am very lucky. I have
collected all this information and copied it, a copy of the latest news paper, family photos, and hidden it in the cars body
work for somebody in the far distant future to discover it. What a supprise it will be eh!
Another silly thing that I've done since I've owned her is as I carry out any repairs on say the brakes, clutch, chassis, etc
etc, I've cleaned a small area up and with a small paint brush dated the job, marked the price of petrol per gal, and a
world event at that time. When I first bought the car petrol was 33cent a Gal. Today it's NZ$5-00 per gal. ( ie) 2nd
clutch job, petrol 89cents a Gal, President Kennedy Shot. It's like a time capsule. Besides it helps me remember the
last time I did the job. Fun eh!
Recieved the application form for the A.S. club. Thanks very much. They have asked for Photos and a story. I will put
that together and send it in due course.
Must away now as Sallys screaming at me to come for dinner. She says Hello.

Hi,
I live in Nairobi, Kenya and we have lots of new old stock spares here.
I have been buying spares for British cars and selling them in England,
but the stock of American spares is largely untapped, except for Ford.
There are quite a number of Studebaker parts, as the cars were imported
here in the fifties. I am therefore looking for somebody who could help
me identify the desirable spares and who could buy them. Can you
recommend a dealer? I have an shipping opportunity in June, when a
friend sends a 40 foot container back to the States.

Dear Doc,
Thank's so much for putting my e mail in your web site, If I can impose
on you again I would love if any of your vast follower'smight be able to
fill in the missing blank's. As I mentioned in my fist attempt at using
the web ,my passion is in 34&35's while doing this I got more & more
interested in how they got to those market's oversea, example's from S.B.
to port's usually by train;s
from the port's to oversea market's shipped uncrated 1934 &1935..
.on arrival some time's driven to inland dealer's or transported again by
train
while doing my research over the last 5 yr's I have been able to see how
the shipping route's work in regard's to car & truck deliver;s
Over the same period of time at every chance I was around or able to
question different studebaker people Asa Hall ,Fred Fox, Dick Quinn,Chuck
Naugle, the answer was that they knew of no other person who was interested
in the transportation end of thing's in regard's to the 30's
But if it were not for the effert's of ever man& woman& young people
involved through the corporation in all area's ,the company would have
closed the door's in 1933. But we know this was not the case.
So once again I'm asking if any STUDEBAKER people located in different
part's of world can shed some imformation on dealer's & the mean's in
which their car's & truck's were delivered to them.
I 'm currently in the process of writing a book inregard's to all the above
imformation & hopefully can add new fact's from other people's imput.
All credit will be given to source, & person submitting fact's
Again my goal is to make enjoyable , interesting reading.

I am a writer working on a novel where the protagonist (in 1941) drives
a used Studebaker. I'm looking for pictures that would help me describe
his beloved automobile. He's a printer/linotype operator, who bought
the car used in 1940. So, I think a car from 1935-36 would be ideal.
The 1935 models you have on your e-mail site (sent to Juan Rosales on
March 6) would work fine, except that I can't seem to print them off
that site. Would you mind e-mailing these to me directly -- or if you
believe another model/year would be more appropriate for my character,
please send that info as well.
I always loved Studebakers as a kid (my uncle had one) and I wanted to
use the car in my story.
Thanks for any help you can be.
