About 60 years ago, when I was a youngster in Maine, my Father owned a "Roosevelt" automobile. There was one other in our small town. I have been unable to find any information on this car. Was it one of Studebakers "Presidential" Series? I have even looked in the Studebaker museum in S. Bend. If not Studebaker, can you tell me who made this automobile?
Thanks for your trouble.

Hello Gentlemen:
I do hope that you enjoy the photos I have sent in separate email. The story behind that "paddy wagon," as close as I can get it at this time is: The Los Angeles Police Department received it as a gift from Warner Brothers Studios. I feel, but do not have the back up, that someone felt that the department may have had one like it, at some time. It was rebuilt almost from the ground up. The Historical Society uses it at public events along with their Mobile Museum.
Now to the Studebaker National Museum, I called out there sometime after receiving Ford's email of their location, and the information about the truck being rebuilt. I was put through to someone by the name of Andy Beckman. A pleasant person, but he did not have a lot of information on the truck being rebuilt. He did, however, give me their email address, which is: gthawk@michiana.net I thought you two would like to have it. Well, I asked some questions, and said that I would include them in an email to him. I sent the email, and in it, I asked if they had any sales records for 1920 to 1930 to the LAPD. It has been over a week now, and have not received an answer, of any kind. I will try to be patient.
I do wish to thank you both so very much for your help in this research matter, it has been nice and fun sharing emails with you, and I will keep in touch. If you ever run across anything you think might be of interest to us, do please let me know. If you are in Los Angeles, and want to see the Paddy Wagon at a public event call: 323-344-9445 and talk with either Richard or Beerget, explain who you are, and see if there is a public event going on or in a short time. You can mention my name, but watch out for flying stones...hehehehehe.
Yours most respectfully

Dear sir,
I'm writing you from Córdoba, Argentina.
Mr. Beniccio Scruzi restored this one. It was hard, as he had no sources of information except the parts existing in the car. Yes, he knows that the original colour was black, but it's a personal pleasure to have it painted in that colour. Mr. Scruzi also has restored himself about 15 of other different cars, mainly Ford Model A (in fact he is an expert on model A, and has a lot of books about them). All of them are in his garage, but actually this one gets his favour.
(Would you be so kind to provide us with informations or sources of information on this particular model?. We thank you in advance)

In 1955 I bought this car from a dealer, who at the time was the oldest active Studebaker dealer in the USA. Oldest in years and inbusiness. At one time he gave Studebaker money to help keep the factory going in theera of the Rockne car, which was a disaster. He was in his 80s when I bought the Speedster. He and his very young wife as a vacation would take the train to South Bend and she would drive the two of them home to Vermont. His garage was in Ascutney, Vt, his name was Clarence J. MartinAbout two weeks after they returned, he brought the Speedster to me and said drive it for the weekend, the wife and kids did and when Monday rolled around he came over and said I am trading cars with you ( I had bought a 51 Merc 2 door from him). Since he carried his own paper we swapped with no increase in payments. I never enjoyed a car more in my life and I have had some pretty exotic cars since.I have been looking for another 55 Speedster since. my car was pink, white and grey with pure white genuine leather interior, a beautiful car. Can you put me with another in the USA? Thank you, Roger Bean

Hello to the Hemp family once again. I remembered that it had been a long time since we looked at your page and listened to the music. It was still in the bookmarked section so here we are. Since the first note to you all in 98 inquiring about Ted Harbit several interesting things have occured. The new personal best for the Chicken Hawk driven by Ted of course is 10.5 @ 131mph. He is presently working on a new car that will still carry the Stude name and engine. The new vehicle is an Avanti. The idea being to reduce the weight so as to get into the low 9 second bracket. The 51 weighs 3600 Lbs and Ted does not want to destroy its stock body configuration. That is very understandable after a 37 year relationship with the old girl. The Avanti is coming along much slower than originaly thought due to the very costly changes being made to the chassis. My 11 year old son has developed a like for Studebakers so we go up to Muncie Indiana Saturday evenings to watch Ted make believers out of some of, shall we say, less matured individuals. It is most enjoyable to here the comments, " a what beat you? a Studebaker, ahh man, you got to be kidding" And, " you say it had a Studebaker engine?" "How does he do that? It really is a lot of fun to watch the sly old fox. There is a lot of mental agility and "one upsmanship" required in bracket racing and Ted is the master. The 11 year old son I spoke of was responsible for getting me back into the old car hobby again as I had sold the Stude about two years ago. Ted decided to sell his wife's daily driver, a 63 cruiser, And my son convinced me to make the purchase. Ted will be driving George Krem's 64 Lark Challenger again this year at the muscle car drags in Michigan. Ted tuned and drove the car last year and made their magazine, Muscle Car Review. The lowly Stude went 13.38 @ 106.2. According to Ted and the magazine, the crowd really loved it. This year they expect to get in to the 12's with some minor but legal changes. You might find it interesting to visit the Michigan Strip on the 10th and 11th of Sept. Feel free to update any of the Chicken Hawk information on your page with what ever you feel may be of interest.

Doc Hemp,
Could you please post this E-mail on the ASC Web site so all members can read and help if they feel so inclined;
Greetings Fellow Studebaker friends,
I just learned that this last Sunday, Jerry Washburn was driving his 1928 President on A CHVA Tour. While crossing the San Mateo Bridge he had modern cars zipping in and out in front of him, one of the cars that jumped in front of him then quickly moved to the left lane. Before Jerry realized it, he found a mustang stopped in front of him, which had stopped because of a van load of illegal immigrants changing a flat tire in the right traffic lane. Unfortunately Jerry was unable to stop in time and rear ended the mustang. The Front end of the Studebaker lifted the mustang up off the ground and pushed pushed it quite a distance.
Jerry and his wife, Joan, are O.k., just a little shaken. Unfortunately though, the Studebaker is not. His entire front end is seriously damaged. He is going to need new headlights, headlight bar, "8" bar, front fenders, the front tires are "toed" out, so he will need many parts in the front end to repair it, wheels, radiator and shell, and anything else you can think of that would be damaged in a front end collision. If you would like to donate some cash or you have a part he can use, or you know where to get a part or would like to buy a part and send it to him, please let me know. Jerry does not know that I am doing this, he would probably would never ask for help, but he has helped many club members with advice, parts, labor and his mechanical expertise out here on the west coast and if you can help please contact me, or my brother Mark at 916-682-9262 (E-mail "huston@softcom.net").
Thanks again for your help and support,

dear dave:
in 1982 I aquired a 1926 sheriff model studebaker. The vehicle was very hard to identify and most unusual. the vehicle had only 5, 000 miles on it and had the 1927 plates still on the car. The owned had purchased it in 1956 with the intent to restore.
I spent a lot of money preparing to correctly restore the car. Unfortunately, my business leave little time.. Many of the parts are in fact, overrestored to the level of a true show car. I have practically every part, plus the origional title, plus thousands of dollars worth of things i purchased as spares.
I would be interrsted in a dialog of whether I should part it out, donate it, sell all pieces to someone, etc. Does bob valpey still do studebakers?
please contact me at youyr convenience

Hi doc, I am new to the net but old to studes. Ibought a 30 pres in 1952 but had to sell it when i went inti the service. Got a 25 er in 1963 and have been to lots of nw zone meets. Many times fartherest driven. When you are 300 miles from home in a 70 year old car made partly of wood and cloth you wonder if you will ever get home. I now have a fine old 26 fire truck [pictured in the review] which has about 5000mile on it. 2000 of those are mine. Also a couple of 37 coupe express, a 50 starlight coupe and a59 lark that is driven a lot. I am now starting on another project. It is a 27 ES-S. I only need a few parts for it. A steering column and a body would be nice for starters. I got most of what I have from Shawn Houston. I sand blasted the frame yesterday and will start painting and repairing from there up. The body I need should be a 5 pass 4 door. If any one has a spare lying about. I plan to come down to the sw zone meet this year and plan to trailor the 25 er down. Will be the second time in 20 years for it to get a trailor ride. We have about 16000 mile on it now. I think your stude site is great if I knew how to I would send some pictures. But i dont know how so that is that for now. tnx jim.

how are you guys getting on. We have just lost our day light savings last week end and for us it's closing in onto winter. We have had the most glorious summer in memory and even today our tempt is about 10 degs above average normal for this time of the year.
The bikes have done over 10000 kilometres over the summer months. I have made a startling discovery about my Stude. I had the current motor fully reconditioned 5years ago. (I told you about all the sealing work that was carried out to prevent water egress) Because the engine had done so few miles some things were not required to be reconditioned. Ok since I got it up and running I have never been 100% happy with the performance relating to pulling power on long hills. I had the carb reconditioned in Long Island NY but that didn’t make the difference. I had the 6 volt system changed to 12 volts and that didn't do it either. I pulled it down many times looking for the problem. Eventually I came to the conclusion that the valve timing was out. I dismantled, altered the valve timing and reassembled that "B.......y" engine about seven times over the last year and still I was unhappy. Then I gave up and just drove it. Well about 3 weeks ago Sally and I went down to the annual Art Deco Rally in Napier which is 500 miles away and I got so pissed off with the car hill climbing ability that I resolved to find it for once and for all when I got home. I hired an engineer and he came to my home and it took him 3 hrs to find the problem. The inlet lobe of the camshaft of #1 was 7 degrees out compared to the inlet lobe of #8.related to the fly wheel markings. Bingo!! He told me that the shaft had to have been twisted at some time. Possibly a rear bearing may have seized at some stage. Well out it came and it was not until we got it to the cam shaft people that reality of the problem became evident. It was not twisted at all as first thought rather it was ground originally at the factory incorrectly. As the grinding machine ran down the length of the shaft, the cutting tool was slowly rotating around the diameter of the shaft. Hence the discrepancy of 7 degs by the time it finished the last lobe. No wonder I could get half of the motor running well. But never the whole lot. This shaft had never been ground since original. Well I put it back last weekend and hells bells have I got a new motor car now. It's got more pulling power than a city full of prostitutes waiting for the American Army to hit town. I'm like a pig in shit at the moment. Got this real grunty 69 years old motor car that’s finally can show a clean pair of heals. Well that’s my story at the present time. Hey my new engine has just turned over 19000 miles.
Other than that, alls well here and we are still on target to come to the USA next July with our bikes. I will keep you up to date as progress develops. Must away now. Talk to you soon.
Love and best wishes to you both.

Hi Dave. I have a restored 1928 Commander EW which I like to drive once in a while in the summer. It runs really well and all parts are in excellent condition. My only concern are the mechanical brakes. While these are the original equipment and I have kept the entire car all original, they are unsafe. The stopping power in normal traffic is a concern. I don't know if they are not working properly or I am just expecting to much. Do you have anyone in Oregon who might be familar with these type of brakes, how they should perform and what I can do if I want to change to a standard brake system?
Many thanks.

Doc Hemp,
I stumbled across your website, great photos of the Austin Studebaker Conv last year. I live in Austin, but somehow didn't know about the convention, or the car show at the Auditorium. One of the photos shows the 1922 touring which was used in The Newton Boys (I'm also in the movie), but back to the photo--there is a roadster of similar vintage in the background. I was wondering if you know what year that car is, and if there are any photos of it.
Thanks for your help,

My neighbor recently called and asked if I could help him start his car. Little did I know it was a 1918 Studebaker. He had bought the car six years ago. He moved it home and then tore out his left knee. He was unable to drive it and, because of his knee, will never be able to realize the joy of tooling around in his pride and joy. That is why he decided to sell it. The person he bought it from had it in a parade in 1972. That is the last time it was up and running. It took about six hours for us to get it started. We have now put over five miles on it and got it up to a resounding 45 mph! Something did get into the gas and it started back-firing. We blew the end right off the front of the muffler. Certainly adds something to the sound as it goes down the street.
It is a beautiful car. He advertised it in Hemmings last December and got an offer. The offer would be substantially better if it was running. He is now getting that better price.
I wish I had known of the Studebaker show at the Towe Museum in Sacramento. It would have been a great addition.
I understand the buyer is the President of Turkey. Before the car is picked up we are going to put some more miles on it. We have videos now but we want some with the top down.

Subject: Value and how to sell a '48 Land Cruiser? Date: Fri, 5 Mar 1999 17:12:34 -0500 From: Dave Nance davenance@compuserve.com To: Dave & Becky - Studebaker Club dochemp@c-zone.net
I inherited a 1948(?or is it a '49?) Studebaker Land Cruiser from my grandfathers collection a few years back and need to sell it due to constant moving with my job. I hope you can give me a ballpark value and any recommendations that will help me find someone who can give it more attention than I've been able to.
It is a Blue 4 door(suicide rears) with 84K original miles, 6 cyl motor, and 3 spd overdrive transmission. It was repainted at some point but otherwise is all original. It was stored for about 15 years before I received it four years ago and has since been under a cover and driven only a couple times a year.
Any help or references are appreciated.
Thank You,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: DEAN A. MCEWEN February 26, 1999 (916) 445-3353
SACRAMENTO: Senator Maurice Johannessen introduced legislation Friday which would eliminate some of the unnecessary smog testing of vehicles with after-market parts.
Currently, California requires vehicles to pass two types of smog check tests: functional as well as the tailpipe test. The bill, SB 1058, streamlines the "visual portion" of the smog inspection by limiting the equipment required to be inspected, thereby eliminating unnecessary inspection. Less time would be spent by motorists and inspectors, fewer burdens would be placed on referees, and less costs would be imposed on the state and consumers by the program.
A car enthusiast himself, Johannessen stated, "Motorists who upgrade their vehicles with after-market parts are often forced to see a referee even though their car may run more efficiently and cleanly. This is a complete waste of time, only benefiting those bureaucracies which this process creates."
Added Johannessen, "If tail-pipe emissions are coming out clean, it shouldn't matter at all what motor parts you have under the hood. This is a good consumer bill that does nothing to harm our air."
For a copy of Senate Bill 1058, contact either Cathy Evans (Legislative Aide) or Dean A. McEwen (Press Secretary) at (916) 445-3353.

I've been busy "painting" your favorite Christmas drawing (of mine) so I've neglected writing. Here it is for your page for Christmas '99 if you want to use it. I hope you like it. As predicted, the quilt drove me nuts. My eyes are shot as well as my mind.
Bob is going to San Diego this weekend, Yuma next weekend, and a week or two after that to Oklahoma. He's a busy little bee this time of year.
Our ostrich festival is the second weekend in March. It should be fun. They have races, food, jewelry (my brother and sister-in-law will be selling their shell jewelry), etc.
Hope your weather is treating you well. It's starting to warm up here. I hope summer doesn't get here too soon.

I hope I am directing this question to the correct party. If not I
apologize, and if possible please direct me. Here goes, about 7 years
ago I purchased a coat rack (one of a kind)
that has been made out of Studebaker car parts. I was told it was made
in the Fort Wayne factory during the 30's. The President and Vice
President shared the coat rack between offices. The coat rack has been
assembled by axle and bumper guards. It weights over 150 lbs. The
appearance is very interesting rather art deco. For the past 7 years I
have used it in my personal business. Recently, I sold the business,
and I am sure I could sell it to an antique dealer. Yet, I believe a
Studebaker enthusiast, would enjoy it more. My question is who shall I
contact to give the hall tree a new home. Thank you in advance for your
time.

model 1930 President Roadster ... it is one of only 2 left in the world! The other being ours. David's is a
special one off body finished in New Zealand & an extremely rare car! Ours is the only Studebaker
factory late 30 model left in the world & equally as rare.
They are great folks ... be sure to look them up ... am sending this reply to them too.
Am also forwarding your email to the president of the ASC who will know more about your situation.
Will post this in our ASC Reading Room #2 too.
Best of luck with your project ... please send photos of your car = before & after.

From:
"Gary Ash" gash@neaccess.net
To:
dochemp@c-zone.net
I am an SDC member, drive a '65 Wagonaire, and am rebuilding a '48 M-5 truck. My father recently told me that my great-uncle Charles Lumley was the inventor of the
hill holder and sold the invention to Studebaker. Apparently Lumley had a number of other auto-related inventions, so it may be true. Does anyone in ASC or SDC
have info on how the hill holder came to be at Studebaker? How about patent numbers on the devices, so I could trace the patent holder? Anybody ever heard of
Charles Lumley of the Seattle/Tacoma, Washington area? Incidentally, I tried a search through Altavista.com and came up with lots of references to Subarus having
hill holders!!!
I guess it's time for me to join the ASC as well as SDC, since the M-5 qualifies. I'll send a check to the address listed in the web site. You can see my cars at
http://www.neaccess.net/~gash. Don't miss test driving the Wagonaire!
Do you know of anyone else (besides Apple Hydraulics) who works on lever-action shocks? I am looking for the small fill caps for my M-5 shocks. Apple wouldn't
sell them to me. It seems that some assortment of screwdrivers, chisels, monkey wrenches, and vise grips were used to remove them over the years. I desparately
need new caps, but not complete shock rebuilds. Also, I keep seeing various references to what oil to use in these shocks. One month, hydraulic jack oil was the
answer; but, the next month jack oil was said to be wrong.
Thanks for your help.

now belongs to us but we hope to all be driving it again come summer.

I need to know these things before I proceed with pitching the idea to TV
networks and video distributors.
Although I am not a Studebaker owner, I have soft spot for the cars as my
late Dad had one in the 1950's.
I'm not sire what model it was as I was only a kid at the time but it was a
huge grey limousine and one of dozens you yanks brought out here for use as
staff cars during WW2, (My city of Brisbane was General Macarthur's
headquarters and the place from where he launched and directed the Pacific
campaign.)
Brisbane was a huge garrison city with up to half a million Yank troops
here at any given time.
They outnumbered the total civilian population at times and our troops used
to complain out them stealing the girsl.
The famous saying was: The Yanks only have three problems...They are
OVERPAID, OVERSEXED...AND BLOODY-WELL OVER HERE!!
Back to Studebakers...
The cars pioneered road transport in both Australia and South Africa and
they almost always won gruelling rallies over thousands of miles on almost
non-existemt roads in the Outback and Bush. ( I recently showed shots of
winning Studes in 1920's rallies and will send a copy of teh completed doco
toytou on tape if you would like.)

Montana Grizzly Bear warning!!!...........Be Aware, this is important!!!
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts theMontana Department
of Fish and Game is advising hikers, Hunters, and fisherman to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
We advise that outdoorsman wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle
bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoorsman to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsman should
recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear shit. Black bear shit is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear
shit is larger and has little bells in it and smells like pepper.
Have a nice hike!!!!!!

Hi, Becky,
Here's one for us girls.
A.M. (Anna Marie Burk)
The patient's family gathered to hear what the specialists
had to say.
"Things don't look good. The only chance is a brain
transplant. This is an experimental procedure. It might
work, but the bad news is that brains cost a lot of money.”
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives.
"For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000."
Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked,
but all the men nodded because they thought they
understood. A few actually smirked.
But the patient's daughter was unsatisfied and asked, "Why
the difference in price between male brains and female
brains?"
"A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team.
"Women's brains have to be marked down because they have
been used."

that hasn't been anywhere except to a couple of local (north Texas) car shows. These old cars sure are fun. My wife has always wanted us to get a really
old and nice car like the early era ones on your website.
Thanks for the effort to make the site available.

Folks, this following email is from the fellow that saw we were looking for this Nov 20, 1943 Saturday Evening Post in which there was an article about my Uncle Herb (a B 25 Mitchell Bomber Pilot in the China theater during world war 2 - done just before he & crew were shot down & killed) as posted on our airplane pages out of BAD Chariots .... Steve saw our request for that magazine & contacted us ... he only wanted $10.00 including shipping for it ...... now that may be the going price for these ..... but not that one special date for us!!
We sent him more for finding our wants from the internet for this special magazine!! We do not collect magazines ...... only this special one! Uncle Herb was awarded 4 Purple Hearts, the Air Medal & the Flying Cross. I feel it is my responsibility to live his life for him too .... which he & other Veterans gave up to protect all of us. To enjoy the freedom of this wonderful country & what it has to offer.
Thank you again Stephen Kriss.

Hi Dave and Becky.
I have been selling vintage magazines and paper
collectibles part time since 1980. I will be retiring in two years and then
will probably have the time to "fool around" with a web site and update it
on a routine and timely basis.
I am aware what dealers charge for various vintage magazines and the higher
prices for searching and individual covers, etc., and that I can easily
receive those prices for my inventory. However, I am not in a full time
business with overhead to worry about, and enjoy attempting to find or sell
an item at a price that makes one happy and gives me a small profit (which
is at present being used to complete a set of Saturday Evening Posts from
1900-1949).
I can be contacted through the above email address or at 30 East 9th Street,
New York, NY 10003, should you wish to recommend me.
Once again, thanks for your generosity, concern and good thoughts.
All the best,
Steve

Sir
I have recently acquired the above vehicle. At present, I know very little
about antique cars in general and this vehicle in particular. I have not
yet seen the car but have some colour photos of it. I am told that it is in
good condition and it runs. It has been in a museum for the last 20 years
but they do take it out on runs occasionally. It appears to be a 4 door
sedan with a "cloth" roof. It is a right-hand drive vehicle as it has spent
most of its life in Africa. As far as I am aware, it is completely
original.
I would appreciate it if you could provide me with contacts who can give me
any information on this vehicle. I need to assess it's worth to see whether
it is viable to import it to North America.
At the same time, I also have acquired a 1926 Chrysler 4 door coupe and I
will be searching for the same details on this vehicle.
My return email is alien@gtn.net
Yours faithfully

Congratulatios for your beautifull web-site.
I am Eric van Kerckhoven and I live in Belgium , Avignonlaan 59 B8310
Brugge Belgium Tel/Fax 011 32 50 354 955.
I own 2 Studebakers: one 1924 EK 5 passengers coupe big six . I bought
this car in Charlotte NC .... one Avanti R1 1963 without supercharger (still to restore); This one I
bought from Weldun Chritcher in Boone NC
There is also a Studebaker club in Europe , only some 90 members ,and I am
a member; As actually I am on early retirement ,I hope to have more time to
restaure my cars.
I have been member of the ASC in the States for some years , but The
magazines were send by surface mal and arrive 2 months late. I am prepared
to adhere again if the mailing could be faster by air.Could you inform me
about how to pay the menbership from europe ( Mastercard?) and what the
supplement is for airmail.
Is it possible to have some room on the ASC site to bring some new from
Europe.? What are the conditions?
And what for my Avanti membership ? What are the possibilities.
Did you know Studebakers were manufactured in B from Belgium from 1937
until 1956 by D'Ieteren company , who are now distributors for Audu, VW ,
Porsche , Seat and Scoda cars. They have 25% of the Belgian marked ,and
still support the European Studebaker club with donations and also
technical information.
Hope to hear from you soon.

I thought I would bring you up to date on the latest Studebaker happenings
around the Sacramento, CA area. Shawn and I got hit up by a rep from the
Towe Auto Museum in Old Sacramento to organize a display of Antique
Studebakers for the month of Jan. So, we did. There are 7 lovely old
Studebakers on display until we pull them out on Jan 30th. There are as
follows: 1928 FA President State sedan - Mark Huston; 1928 GE Dictator
Royal Sedan - Ralph Grace; 1929 Dictator GE Sedan - John Walkin; 1929 FC
Dictator Truck (was a Royal Sedan before it lost a game of chicken with a
Shay Locomotive) owner Mike Gastaldi; 1929 FE President State Touring -
Shawn Huston; 1928 FB President Roadster - Jerry Washburn; 1930 Commander
FD Roadster - Phil Smith. During the 1928 - 1930 era Studebaker set the
greatest number of stock car records and that is what we are emphasizing
with our display. If you are in the Sacramento area during January stop by
and see the ASC display. The museum is located at 2200 Front Street, Old
Sacramento. Adult admission is $6.00. If you want more info contact me.
The story about the Shay Locomotive and the Dictator is in the Jan/Feb 1994
Review.
See Ya, Mark Huston

Dear Dave and Becky
Just a brief query at this stage to get an idea of the value of
Studebaker car parts in the U.S.A.
My grandfather owned approx 4 Studebakers-I believe they were 1935-1938
Commander 6's. He was a hoarder of all manner of things including spare
parts and I am in the process of sorting out what to do with thems.
The selection includes unused gasket sets, water pumps,
carbs,headlights,springs etc.
Is there a market for these in the states and what type of price would
they bring ?
He died in 1977 and most of the parts etc have been waiting to be
liberated and put to good use.
I also have a 1917 Dodge motor complete with gearbox plus 4-5 1920 to
1925 dodge motors( some complete ).
Any information you have would be appreciated.
It may be that the cost of shipping would either be uneconomical or
would price the parts off the market.
Looking forward to any info that you can help me with.
Have a happy new year.

Andy my Bro!
You just keep those cards & letters coming in!! I for one never knew Studebaker even had an export policy, till I met you over the internet!! It is great .... I will post them all. That is what this reading room is all about ..... your input is really appreciated ..... The biggest problem on internet activitiies is no computer access for most ASC members. And to those with computer access ... sometimes I think the different factions in any club, group, society, country and even families tend to get in the way of the purpose of a group as a whole ..... whether due to real or imaginary persceived slights or petty happenings, and or, jealousies & bruised egos & pride. Leaving many with residual grudges smoldering deep within, just as in (and about as important) as an old pile of leaves. The ASC (like most other clubs in the world) has had some small problelms in the past. Any club or group is no better than it's constituencies temperature as a whole. I know I for one am far from perfect & rub some people the wrong way .... but, difference is what makes individuals individuals. The other decay indicator in a group is it's apathy & non involvement factor. Also, as Richard Quinn says "Jealously is the tribute mediocrity pays to achievers"
Becky & I belong to between 20 - 30 different clubs at any one time & have very little time to tour or meet with any one of them & are involved primarily & many times singularly through our 90 plus websites we do gratis for them.
99.9% of the visitors to these Studebaker pages are not ASC members ..... it is "STUDEBAKER" that brings them back .... not the ASC or me or you or any members in this club. The ASC or SDC could crumble tomorrow .... but Studebaker will be here forever.
P.S. Oh & Andy .... I am dedicating the ASC page 4 to you my friend (and Carolyn) for your involvement in this & your own website.
Thank You from me & the ASC.

Andy,
In addition to being a NCCA member, I am a National Director for the
Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club. The Hudson Motor Car Company had extensive
export activity to Europe, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, and even
parts of Africa. One of my older buddies told me the largest Hudson car
lot
he ever saw was in Nairobi, Kenya! I will get an address for you to
contact
John O'Halloran who is our Club Historian. He may have some information
that could be of use to you, and of course he would be interested in your

Hi Andy,
Thanks for looking us up.
I checked out your page. Looks great! Nash did a lot of exporting. We
have
a
list of Members-on-line, many in Countries where Nash's were exported to
or
assembled in.
Your interest in the export of American cars could lead to a nice story
and
I'm sure some of our members could be of help to you in finding material
on
the subject.
I'm passing this on to our on-liners. I hope you hear from many.
Good Luck.

Becky and Doc: What an interesting and fun Web sight you have. I found it
as a result of an impulse to find a tastless and uncultured junky old '53
or '54 Studebaker Coupe. Instead I find tastful and erudite stuff.
Nice drawings Becky. I am confused about the beautiful water color you did
with NO drawing experience. Did your drawing skills evolve after the water
color? As the Fonz might say "heeeyyyy!" Sorry, I need not ask.

interested in offering services in my spare time to anyone that may have the
original/reprint of the service manual for the car and be interested in having
the manual/diagrams available on there PC. This can be invaluable if you are
doing restoration work. I am using the diagrams and such to have the ability
to zoom in on specific areas, modify specific diagrams and even add various
labeling ID's etc. Please post this in one of your reading rooms.
Thanks,

I down sized this & saved it as a smaller jpg file so it would download fast as it was over 400K = it is now 26K - Bryan will send these to you in a WIN zip file much larger & clearer - but 3 of these drawings took 10 minutes to down load & each were 1600 pixcels wide - Bryan - you might down size the drawings to at about 800 pixels wide & store as a #6 size jpg file & then zip them up - they would down load twice as fast & could still be exploded & clear upon opening. You really do excellent work though, thankyou for your input - this is just what we need from members - participation.

Hi, I'm helping a friend maintain a 1932 Rockne Model 75 coupe. I was hoping
someone could identify for me, other Studebakers (and model years) that used
that same six cylinder engine.
- I am lead to believe the 1932 Studebaker Dictator, model 36 used that same
engine.
This information will help with parts interchangability.
By the way, it is a 2nd owner Texas car, older restoration, smooth driver,
and truely delightful.
Thanks for your webb page and interests in Studebakers.

Hey I loved the cover shot. I am a regular subscriber to Hemmings Mag. It's very popular in New Zealand. Well done.
Hey thanks for putting up the two pictures of our city on the Net. I have sent a number of my friends there and they all say what a great site it is. We are famous, but nobodys contributed any donations to the David & Sallys CA trip yet.
The following is a couple of pixs of a very well known 1929 President 8 hybrid that was built by Jack Jeffrey of Sydney Australia during the 1940's for hill climbs and sprint racing. The only modifications that were done was a dual inlet manifold with two Stromberg
100 Carbs. and a Humber 4 speed gear box. It had 12 volts. It has been officially timed at 103.6 MPH over the flying quarter. The body style is based on the popular English bodies of the time and the Lucus P 100 head lamps set the theme of quite well.
I would make some room in my garage if they were looking for storage.
hey take care, and we will be in touch soon.
David.

Dear Doc & Becky
We had written you before but for some reason no one could reply to sender,
so we will try again.
We have just purchased a 1929 Erskine coupe that is in good condition. The
car has been in storage for about 46 years in a barn. The past owner said
that it was running when he put it away. It does not have alot of body
damage, it is missing one running board and the fenders need some work. The
engine is intact, the interior is in good shape, the spoke wheels are in
great shape and the overall appearance for a car of this age is very good.
We own a 1934 ford 5 window coupe and have only the body and interior work
left to do on it, so what we were wondering is do we sell the Studebaker or
restore it. We really don't have the room for two cars as such, so I am
open for your suggestions and thoughts.
What do you think that this car is valued at?

applause . . . I've enjoyed your page for some time. You can tell how many

both the ASC & SDC and hope to change the "less" part of that in the next year
or so. My real dream is to drive an antique Studebaker in the Great American
Race in the year 2000. If I don't get on the stick about getting the car it
may be a "2001 Space Odyssey." I need some help. I've placed an ad in the
Review for the January/February 1999 issue and that may produced the results I
seek. Do you know of any websites that offer any hope for me in my quest for
finding an old Studebaker? What I'd like to find is an open bodied Big Six
or perhaps a closed bodied eight from the early to mid 30's. I would like to
find a coupe, mid 30's Land Cruiser or maybe one of the earlier St. Regis
style. Looking at finding a number one or two condition vehicle where my
concerns could be with taking care of the integrity of the mechanicals rather
than having to start from ground zero and redo the entire car. I'm looking
for a realistically priced vehicle that I can take on this race and enjoy for
many years to come. Any ideas about where to look other than the Review? Any
help would be appreciated.

The one marked "Auckland city to Mt Eden" has been taken looking towards
the new Sky Tower and out to Mt Eden in the background.
Sally and I live just to the right hand side of the big home half way up

mountain slopes and directly hehind the church spire.
It only takes us 4 minutes to drive to the center of the city.
The second one marked "Auckland Harbour" is a general view of our
wonderfull harbour and surrounding Islands. The Island to the right on the
sky line
is called Rangitoto and it was an active volcano only 700 years ago. It's
that area that they will sail the Americas Cup Races in 2000.
Just recently a fellow called AJ Hacket did a bungy jump off the Sky
Tower. A world record jump off an building in the world. 390 metres tall.

I'm trying to help my uncle find parts for his 1928 Studebaker. He needs
a carborator, and two headlight rings. Also, could you give me any idea
what it is worth. It has 15,000 miles on it and is completely original.
It's all there! No rust, it was kept in a garage until 1947 and then put
in a barn until my uncle bought it several years ago. He also has kept
it in the garage. The interior is almost perfect considering it is 70
years old. The car would run if we could find a carb.
I would really appreciate any help you could give me.

Greetings! Great Web Site - Thanx for all your dedication and your

FYI - ED SNEVA, father of INDY 500 winner TOM SNEVA, raced early 30s
Studebaker sedans with powerful late model Stude V8 engines built-up to
radical racing standards. Ed was a top competitor and was consistantly
in the "Trophy Dash" with these very fast Studes. (I well know having
competed against him with my cars)
SNEVA was based in Spokane, WA and ran his cars on the Spokane
"Fairgrounds" 5/8s mile dirt track. He would bring these fast Studes
over to race with us in all our big championship races which ran on
asphalt tracks (Seattle,WA and Portland, Salem and Eugene, OR). We
would go to Spokane and compete with his cars in their big championship
races.
I have several great pics of my car running side by side with Sneva's
car (in trophy dashes, fast heats, main events, etc)
Perhaps it would be of interest to contact Ed (and/or Tom) and invite
them to "Join Doc Hemp" on-line and add their stories on this bit of
Studebaker history.

sense, it has the lines and character that epitomizes Studebaker.

It is a 1926 Studebaker "chemical" fire truck. it is an inline 6 and

Our problem is the shaft that connects the crank to the generator is
missing and no-one knows where it went or for that matter what the
spec's are to even make a new one. In addition how would we check the
out-put, what is it suppose to be, and where do the wires hook up and

Hi Doc: Last Friday I purchased a 1936 Studebacker Dictator. The car is in pretty fine shape, but I need some
information and parts. The oil pan leaks, as do the value covers. The exhaust manifold needs replacing, also.
The points look like they are out of adjustment, do you have any idea what the settings should be? I have a
parts manual, do I need to have the maintenace manual to get the values clearance, or can you give me that
information? Thank you, thank you, our mailing address is Albert Covington 209 Eveningside Drive

Dear Dave and Becky:
I'm not sure your club includes these kind of antiques...
I was willed studebaker running gear. It has 12 spoke wooden wheels and
they're quite low, maybe three feet high. My late uncle used the running
gear for his bundle wagon during harvest, and as far as we can determine,
the running gear came up to Southern Saskatchewan (Western Canada) when my
grandparents immigrated from Kansas in the late 1800's.
I would like to restore the running gear and build an authentic wagon box
for their conestoga type wagon. Any idea where I can find out information
on their wagons and if it's possible to get plans? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
I told you it was antique...
Sincerely,
Terri Mason

Dear Dochemp,
Wow, I've finally found something about Studebakers! Specifically, I've
been searching for info on Studebaker Pickups, circa 50's and 60's. These
are EXTREMELY rare animals, at least in my experience. I've found that you
are able to spot one on the street maybe ONCE a year. I'm normally a Chevy
pickup man, but the first time I saw one of these pickups, it rendered me
speechless. I just don't know what it is about those LINES that just 'do
it for me'.
Unfortunately, it's darned near impossible to find ANYTHING about them.
Could you please direct me to any sources, individuals, clubs,
publications, websites, that specialize in these trucks?
I remember way back in the mid to late 70's, OFF-ROAD magazine did a
feature article on two brothers in Missouri who had restored two Studebaker
pickups for show. Sadly, I have since misplaced this copy (maybe 20 years
ago?). Anyway, that article, coupled with a rare sighting in Hawaii after
high school, sealed my interest in these trucks forever. I have come
across two working pickups in Utah, and one in Idaho, but that is it!
I'd sure appreciate ANY help you could give me.

Hello Doc,
I'm Herb Toalson, I live in north central Texas, I've come across a
1936 Studebaker delivery truck. It has a flat head 6 cylinder engine,
with a front end, from the firewall up, in pretty good shape. It dosen't
run, but it looks like most everything is there. The walk-in part of the
box, which was made by a company called Highland Manufacturing, I belive
in Cincinnati Ohio. There some rust through spots around the rear
wheels.
I would like to buy this truck for me and my wife,Dana, to restore. The
owner has told me he has had the truck since he had bought the bussiness
and it has been park since 1951. He's willing to sell it but will not
give a price. He told me to make him an offer and that I wouldn't offend
him by the offer.
I have no idea how much this truck would go for. It will take some hard
work to restore, but well worth it in my opinion. I had people tell me
to offer a couple of hundered for it and others that have said over a
thousand. I've come to the conclusion that not to many people around
here know to much about Studebaker cars or trucks.
Old cars and trucks don't sell for as much around here, like they do on
the East and West coasts. Would you have any ideal and mind giving me
some input on this truck? I would appreciate any help.
Thank You

Herbert,
You can check in Hemmings motor news at your bookstore & see a similar situation for sale .... but I would not think $500 would be too little = you will have more in it than you will be able to sell it for I'm sure .... but it will be a real collectors item!! Don't let it go to waste!!
Good luck!

Can anyone give me information about the size and model of the original

for my Studebaker Rockne, 1933. After my father bout this car in 1933 he
never sold it. It was part of the family. After worldwar 2 the brakes were
renewed
and the wheels became flat steel ones. Later the engine was taken from a
1949
Studebaker. The car is after the dead of my father complet rebuild. Only
now I
am searching for suitable wheels for the car. As an accident damaged 2
wheels
I have to find 5 new wheels. The car is not completly original but it looks
almost new with e renewed engine on 12 volt electric.
Please give me information if possible. email or postal.
I found out that there 2 of these cars in Holland. The trach of the other
one is lost after a divorce in that particular family.

I own a 1925 Studebaker standard duplex phaeton with 17,000 miles on it.
It is in good original condition but it does not like to run in

bag of ice over the vacuum tank. Can you give me a better solution to my

I need to know these things before I proceed with pitching the idea to TV networks and video distributors.
Although I am not a Studebaker owner, I have soft spot for the cars as my late Dad had one in the 1950's.
I'm not sire what model it was as I was only a kid at the time but it was a huge grey limousine and one of dozens you yanks brought out here for use as staff cars during WW2, (My city of Brisbane was General Macarthur's headquarters and the place from where he launched and directed the Pacific campaign.)
Brisbane was a huge garrison city with up to half a million Yank troops here at any given time.
They outnumbered the total civilian population at times and our troops used to complain out them stealing the girsl.
The famous saying was: The Yanks only have three problems...They are OVERPAID, OVERSEXED...AND BLOODY-WELL OVER HERE!!
Back to Studebakers...
The cars pioneered road transport in both Australia and South Africa and they almost always won gruelling rallies over thousands of miles on almost non-existemt roads in the Outback and Bush. ( I recently showed shots of winning Studes in 1920's rallies and will send a copy of teh completed doco toytou on tape if you would like.)

I grew up with the damned things (Dad and I went through 7 before they went out of business (I personally sent thee to the junk yard!). Had # 8 until recently ('55 President Speedster, white/yellow, with yellow leather seats) - sold to a local Stude fan who's putting a supercharger (Rootes, of course, not one of those weasley Paxson units) in a '56 Hawk, too. Lot of Studebaker activity in Spring City, Royersford, PA (between Philly and Reading).

Montana Grizzly Bear warning!!!...........Be Aware, this is important!!!
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts theMontana Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, Hunters, and fisherman to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
We advise that outdoorsman wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoorsman to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsman should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear shit. Black bear shit is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear shit is larger and has little bells in it and smells like pepper.
Have a nice hike!!!!!!

Hi, Becky,
Here's one for us girls.
A.M. (Anna Marie Burk)
The patient's family gathered to hear what the specialists had to say.
"Things don't look good. The only chance is a brain transplant. This is an experimental procedure. It might work, but the bad news is that brains cost a lot of money.”
"Well, how much does a brain cost?" asked the relatives. "For a male brain, $500,000. For a female brain, $200,000."
Some of the younger male relatives tried to look shocked, but all the men nodded because they thought they understood. A few actually smirked.
But the patient's daughter was unsatisfied and asked, "Why the difference in price between male brains and female brains?"
"A standard pricing practice," said the head of the team. "Women's brains have to be marked down because they have been used."

I would not call myself a "computer nerd" by any stretch of the imagination, but I have visited around on the internet enough to clearly recognize that the site(s) you maintain are superlative in all aspects. Certainly I ( and I would hope the club members if they offered their collective opinions) thank you for this tremendous effort. I feel sure that it has been the magnet that has pulled in multiple new members this year alone.
I have several people who have volunteered to take messages about specific models, so I don't feel too lonely out here answering the messages you forward. It really has been an eye-opener for me as I read through these letters. So keep the mail coming, Dave and Becky. If I reach saturation, I'll recruit help, otherwise, I will try to keep up.

Compliments for such a varied website with the music, humor, dental info, and especially the cars! I am also a D.D.S. and I also have some cars, although on a much more humble scale. I have a 1939 Packard coupe that went over Independence Pass in Colorado this past summer on the Americruise. I also have a 1939 Oldsmobile sedan that we took to other Americruises to Peoria, Ill. and Lincoln, Neb. Finally, I have a 1946 Mercury coupe that hasn't been anywhere except to a couple of local (north Texas) car shows. These old cars sure are fun. My wife has always wanted us to get a really old and nice car like the early era ones on your website.
Thanks for the effort to make the site available.

Hi Dave and Becky.
I have been selling vintage magazines and paper
collectibles part time since 1980. I will be retiring in two years and then
will probably have the time to "fool around" with a web site and update it
on a routine and timely basis.
I am aware what dealers charge for various vintage magazines and the higher
prices for searching and individual covers, etc., and that I can easily
receive those prices for my inventory. However, I am not in a full time
business with overhead to worry about, and enjoy attempting to find or sell
an item at a price that makes one happy and gives me a small profit (which
is at present being used to complete a set of Saturday Evening Posts from
1900-1949).
I can be contacted through the above email address or at 30 East 9th Street,
New York, NY 10003, should you wish to recommend me.
Once again, thanks for your generosity, concern and good thoughts.
All the best,
Steve

Sir
I have recently acquired the above vehicle. At present, I know very little about antique cars in general and this vehicle in particular. I have not yet seen the car but have some colour photos of it. I am told that it is in good condition and it runs. It has been in a museum for the last 20 years but they do take it out on runs occasionally. It appears to be a 4 door sedan with a "cloth" roof. It is a right-hand drive vehicle as it has spent most of its life in Africa. As far as I am aware, it is completely original.
I would appreciate it if you could provide me with contacts who can give me any information on this vehicle. I need to assess it's worth to see whether it is viable to import it to North America.
At the same time, I also have acquired a 1926 Chrysler 4 door coupe and I will be searching for the same details on this vehicle.
My return email is alien@gtn.net
Yours faithfully
Steve Dewsbery

dear Doc,
Congratulatios for your beautifull web-site. I am Eric van Kerckhoven and I live in Belgium , Avignonlaan 59 B8310 Brugge Belgium Tel/Fax 011 32 50 354 955. I own 2 Studebakers: one 1924 EK 5 passengers coupe big six . I bought this car in Charlotte NC .... one Avanti R1 1963 without supercharger (still to restore); This one I bought from Weldun Chritcher in Boone NC
There is also a Studebaker club in Europe , only some 90 members ,and I am a member; As actually I am on early retirement ,I hope to have more time to restaure my cars.
I have been member of the ASC in the States for some years , but The magazines were send by surface mal and arrive 2 months late. I am prepared to adhere again if the mailing could be faster by air.Could you inform me about how to pay the menbership from europe ( Mastercard?) and what the supplement is for airmail.
Is it possible to have some room on the ASC site to bring some new from Europe.? What are the conditions? And what for my Avanti membership ? What are the possibilities. Did you know Studebakers were manufactured in B from Belgium from 1937 until 1956 by D'Ieteren company , who are now distributors for Audu, VW , Porsche , Seat and Scoda cars. They have 25% of the Belgian marked ,and still support the European Studebaker club with donations and also technical information.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Subject: Studebakers at Towe Auto Museum Date: Sun, 3 Jan 1999 07:22:44 -0800 From: "M & J Huston" huston@softcom.net To: dochemp@c-zone.net
I thought I would bring you up to date on the latest Studebaker happenings around the Sacramento, CA area. Shawn and I got hit up by a rep from the Towe Auto Museum in Old Sacramento to organize a display of Antique Studebakers for the month of Jan. So, we did. There are 7 lovely old Studebakers on display until we pull them out on Jan 30th. There are as follows: 1928 FA President State sedan - Mark Huston; 1928 GE Dictator Royal Sedan - Ralph Grace; 1929 Dictator GE Sedan - John Walkin; 1929 FC Dictator Truck (was a Royal Sedan before it lost a game of chicken with a Shay Locomotive) owner Mike Gastaldi; 1929 FE President State Touring - Shawn Huston; 1928 FB President Roadster - Jerry Washburn; 1930 Commander FD Roadster - Phil Smith. During the 1928 - 1930 era Studebaker set the greatest number of stock car records and that is what we are emphasizing with our display. If you are in the Sacramento area during January stop by and see the ASC display. The museum is located at 2200 Front Street, Old Sacramento. Adult admission is $6.00. If you want more info contact me. The story about the Shay Locomotive and the Dictator is in the Jan/Feb 1994 Review.
See Ya, Mark Huston

Dear Dave and Becky
Just a brief query at this stage to get an idea of the value of
Studebaker car parts in the U.S.A.
My grandfather owned approx 4 Studebakers-I believe they were 1935-1938
Commander 6's. He was a hoarder of all manner of things including spare
parts and I am in the process of sorting out what to do with thems.
The selection includes unused gasket sets, water pumps,
carbs,headlights,springs etc.
Is there a market for these in the states and what type of price would
they bring ?
He died in 1977 and most of the parts etc have been waiting to be
liberated and put to good use.
I also have a 1917 Dodge motor complete with gearbox plus 4-5 1920 to
1925 dodge motors( some complete ).
Any information you have would be appreciated.
It may be that the cost of shipping would either be uneconomical or
would price the parts off the market.
Looking forward to any info that you can help me with.
Have a happy new year.

Hi, Dave & Becky,
Here's the Christmas picture for 1998. No new car this year
(thank heavens!), so the picture doesn't have one. I've
filled it up with critters, though. Hope you like it. It

sending you one by snail mail anyway.
Bob soloed his airplane today and tonight he's pretty happy

nothing gets done around this house on the weekend unless I

Have a blessed Christmas and healthy and prosperous New

Andy my Bro!
You just keep those cards & letters coming in!! I for one never knew Studebaker even had an export policy, till I met you over the internet!! It is great .... I will post them all. That is what this reading room is all about ..... your input is really appreciated ..... The biggest problem on internet activitiies is no computer access for most ASC members. And to those with computer access ... sometimes I think the different factions in any club, group, society, country and even families tend to get in the way of the purpose of a group as a whole ..... whether due to real or imaginary persceived slights or petty happenings, and or, jealousies & bruised egos & pride. Leaving many with residual grudges smoldering deep within, just as in (and about as important) as an old pile of leaves. The ASC (like most other clubs in the world) has had some small problelms in the past. Any club or group is no better than it's constituencies temperature as a whole. I know I for one am far from perfect & rub some people the wrong way .... but, difference is what makes individuals individuals. The other decay indicator in a group is it's apathy & non involvement factor. Also, as Richard Quinn says "Jealously is the tribute mediocrity pays to achievers"
Becky & I belong to between 20 - 30 different clubs at any one time & have very little time to tour or meet with any one of them & are involved primarily & many times singularly through our 90 plus websites we do gratis for them.
99.9% of the visitors to these Studebaker pages are not ASC members ..... it is "STUDEBAKER" that brings them back .... not the ASC or me or you or any members in this club. The ASC or SDC could crumble tomorrow .... but Studebaker will be here forever.
P.S. Oh & Andy .... I am dedicating the ASC page 4 to you my friend (and Carolyn) for your involvement in this & your own website.
Thank You from me & the ASC.

In addition to being a NCCA member, I am a National Director for the Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club. The Hudson Motor Car Company had extensive export activity to Europe, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, and even parts of Africa. One of my older buddies told me the largest Hudson car lot he ever saw was in Nairobi, Kenya! I will get an address for you to contact John O'Halloran who is our Club Historian. He may have some information that could be of use to you, and of course he would be interested in your research. Best of luck and Merry Christmas! John Clement, Big Country Director, HET Club

Hi Andy,
Thanks for looking us up.
I checked out your page. Looks great! Nash did a lot of exporting. We have a list of Members-on-line, many in Countries where Nash's were exported to or assembled in. Your interest in the export of American cars could lead to a nice story and I'm sure some of our members could be of help to you in finding material on the subject. I'm passing this on to our on-liners. I hope you hear from many.

Becky and Doc: What an interesting and fun Web sight you have. I found it as a result of an impulse to find a tastless and uncultured junky old '53 or '54 Studebaker Coupe. Instead I find tastful and erudite stuff.
Nice drawings Becky. I am confused about the beautiful water color you did with NO drawing experience. Did your drawing skills evolve after the water color? As the Fonz might say "heeeyyyy!" Sorry, I need not ask.

I down sized this & saved it as a smaller jpg file so it would download fast as it was over 400K = it is now 26K - Bryan will send these to you in a WIN zip file much larger & clearer - but 3 of these drawings took 10 minutes to down load & each were 1600 pixcels wide - Bryan - you might down size the drawings to at about 800 pixels wide & store as a #6 size jpg file & then zip them up - they would down load twice as fast & could still be exploded & clear upon opening. You really do excellent work though, thankyou for your input - this is just what we need from members - participation.

Hi, I'm helping a friend maintain a 1932 Rockne Model 75 coupe. I was hoping someone could identify for me, other Studebakers (and model years) that used that same six cylinder engine.
- I am lead to believe the 1932 Studebaker Dictator, model 36 used that same engine.
This information will help with parts interchangability.
By the way, it is a 2nd owner Texas car, older restoration, smooth driver, and truely delightful.

Gidday Dave,
hows the business of life going. People still wanting to try and say something and you still have your hands in there mouth?? Well I suppose I'm in the same business except some times I put my foot into there mouths. Got to scratch up a living some how, don't we? Hey I loved the cover shot. I am a regular subscriber to Hemmings Mag. It's very popular in New Zealand. Well done.
Hey thanks for putting up the two pictures of our city on the Net. I have sent a number of my friends there and they all say what a great site it is. We are famous, but nobodys contributed any donations to the David & Sallys CA trip yet. The following is a couple of pixs of a very well known 1929 President 8 hybrid that was built by Jack Jeffrey of Sydney Australia during the 1940's for hill climbs and sprint racing. The only modifications that were done was a dual inlet manifold with two Stromberg 100 Carbs. and a Humber 4 speed gear box. It had 12 volts. It has been officially timed at 103.6 MPH over the flying quarter. The body style is based on the popular English bodies of the time and the Lucus P 100 head lamps set the theme of quite well. I would make some room in my garage if they were looking for storage.
hey take care, and we will be in touch soon.
David.

My name is Bryan Brooks. I am a member of the ASC. I visit your well developed Stude sight frequently and enjoy it very much. I thought you might like to see the pride and possession I got passed on to me by my grandfather. I plan on doing a full restoration of the car within 2 years, starting in Nov98.

Dear Doc & Becky
We had written you before but for some reason no one could reply to sender, so we will try again.
We have just purchased a 1929 Erskine coupe that is in good condition. The car has been in storage for about 46 years in a barn. The past owner said that it was running when he put it away. It does not have alot of body damage, it is missing one running board and the fenders need some work. The engine is intact, the interior is in good shape, the spoke wheels are in great shape and the overall appearance for a car of this age is very good.
We own a 1934 ford 5 window coupe and have only the body and interior work left to do on it, so what we were wondering is do we sell the Studebaker or restore it. We really don't have the room for two cars as such, so I am open for your suggestions and thoughts.
What do you think that this car is valued at?

Thanks Ron & Becky

I have a friend in Gatesville, TX who recently bought a 1930 Studebaker 5 window coupe. This car also has wood spoke wheels, and the engine, transmisson, and radiator are with the car. The metal on the car body is in excellent condition. Carroll question concerns whether he should sell the car to a restorer or build a street rod out of the car. If the car is worth enough money he would like to sell it or restore it himself.

applause . . . I've enjoyed your page for some time. You can tell how many folks have come calling, but you may not get much feedback from your "customers." You guys are doing a great job. I'm a Studebakerless member of both the ASC & SDC and hope to change the "less" part of that in the next year or so. My real dream is to drive an antique Studebaker in the Great American Race in the year 2000. If I don't get on the stick about getting the car it may be a "2001 Space Odyssey." I need some help. I've placed an ad in the Review for the January/February 1999 issue and that may produced the results I seek. Do you know of any websites that offer any hope for me in my quest for finding an old Studebaker? What I'd like to find is an open bodied Big Six or perhaps a closed bodied eight from the early to mid 30's. I would like to find a coupe, mid 30's Land Cruiser or maybe one of the earlier St. Regis style. Looking at finding a number one or two condition vehicle where my concerns could be with taking care of the integrity of the mechanicals rather than having to start from ground zero and redo the entire car. I'm looking for a realistically priced vehicle that I can take on this race and enjoy for many years to come. Any ideas about where to look other than the Review? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello David & Becky
enclosed please find two attachments of photos of Auckland City.
The one marked "Auckland city to Mt Eden" has been taken looking towards the new Sky Tower and out to Mt Eden in the background. Sally and I live just to the right hand side of the big home half way up the mountain slopes and directly hehind the church spire. It only takes us 4 minutes to drive to the center of the city.
The second one marked "Auckland Harbour" is a general view of our wonderfull harbour and surrounding Islands. The Island to the right on the sky line is called Rangitoto and it was an active volcano only 700 years ago. It's that area that they will sail the Americas Cup Races in 2000. Just recently a fellow called AJ Hacket did a bungy jump off the Sky Tower. A world record jump off an building in the world. 390 metres tall.

I'm trying to help my uncle find parts for his 1928 Studebaker. He needs a carborator, and two headlight rings. Also, could you give me any idea what it is worth. It has 15,000 miles on it and is completely original. It's all there! No rust, it was kept in a garage until 1947 and then put in a barn until my uncle bought it several years ago. He also has kept it in the garage. The interior is almost perfect considering it is 70 years old. The car would run if we could find a carb. I would really appreciate any help you could give me.

Greetings! Great Web Site - Thanx for all your dedication and your excellent work.
FYI - ED SNEVA, father of INDY 500 winner TOM SNEVA, raced early 30s Studebaker sedans with powerful late model Stude V8 engines built-up to radical racing standards. Ed was a top competitor and was consistantly in the "Trophy Dash" with these very fast Studes. (I well know having competed against him with my cars)
SNEVA was based in Spokane, WA and ran his cars on the Spokane "Fairgrounds" 5/8s mile dirt track. He would bring these fast Studes over to race with us in all our big championship races which ran on asphalt tracks (Seattle,WA and Portland, Salem and Eugene, OR). We would go to Spokane and compete with his cars in their big championship races.
I have several great pics of my car running side by side with Sneva's car (in trophy dashes, fast heats, main events, etc)
Perhaps it would be of interest to contact Ed (and/or Tom) and invite them to "Join Doc Hemp" on-line and add their stories on this bit of Studebaker history.

I'm in the process of {slowly} restoring my '57 GoldenHawk, and although not a classic in the purist sense, it has the lines and character that epitomizes Studebaker. Again; good work!

It is a 1926 Studebaker "chemical" fire truck. it is an inline 6 and what we figure to be a flathead. the Serial number is 0202. Our problem is the shaft that connects the crank to the generator is missing and no-one knows where it went or for that matter what the spec's are to even make a new one. In addition how would we check the out-put, what is it suppose to be, and where do the wires hook up and go.

Dear Dave and Becky:
I'm not sure your club includes these kind of antiques... I was willed studebaker running gear. It has 12 spoke wooden wheels and they're quite low, maybe three feet high. My late uncle used the running gear for his bundle wagon during harvest, and as far as we can determine, the running gear came up to Southern Saskatchewan (Western Canada) when my grandparents immigrated from Kansas in the late 1800's.
I would like to restore the running gear and build an authentic wagon box for their conestoga type wagon. Any idea where I can find out information on their wagons and if it's possible to get plans? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I told you it was antique...

Dear Dochemp,
Wow, I've finally found something about Studebakers! Specifically, I've been searching for info on Studebaker Pickups, circa 50's and 60's. These are EXTREMELY rare animals, at least in my experience. I've found that you are able to spot one on the street maybe ONCE a year. I'm normally a Chevy pickup man, but the first time I saw one of these pickups, it rendered me speechless. I just don't know what it is about those LINES that just 'do it for me'.
Unfortunately, it's darned near impossible to find ANYTHING about them. Could you please direct me to any sources, individuals, clubs, publications, websites, that specialize in these trucks?
I remember way back in the mid to late 70's, OFF-ROAD magazine did a feature article on two brothers in Missouri who had restored two Studebaker pickups for show. Sadly, I have since misplaced this copy (maybe 20 years ago?). Anyway, that article, coupled with a rare sighting in Hawaii after high school, sealed my interest in these trucks forever. I have come across two working pickups in Utah, and one in Idaho, but that is it!
I'd sure appreciate ANY help you could give me.

It dosen't run, but it looks like most everything is there. The walk-in part of the box, which was made by a company called Highland Manufacturing, I belive in Cincinnati Ohio. There some rust through spots around the rear wheels.
I would like to buy this truck for me and my wife,Dana, to restore. The owner has told me he has had the truck since he had bought the bussiness and it has been park since 1951. He's willing to sell it but will not give a price. He told me to make him an offer and that I wouldn't offend him by the offer.
I have no idea how much this truck would go for. It will take some hard work to restore, but well worth it in my opinion. I had people tell me to offer a couple of hundered for it and others that have said over a thousand. I've come to the conclusion that not to many people around here know to much about Studebaker cars or trucks. Old cars and trucks don't sell for as much around here, like they do on the East and West coasts. Would you have any ideal and mind giving me some input on this truck? I would appreciate any help.
Thank You Herbert & Dana Toalson danherba@swbell.net

Herbert, You can check in Hemmings motor news at your bookstore & see a similar situation for sale .... but I would not think $500 would be too little = you will have more in it than you will be able to sell it for I'm sure .... but it will be a real collectors item!! Don't let it go to waste!! Good luck!

I have had a 1916 Stude 4-cyl for many years, collected from the best of a bunch of parts cars I bought many years ago. I'll never get to it. Mostly rust-free, with some duplicates. Would like to get this into someone's hands that will do something with it. AndrewOtt@AOL.COM

Can anyone give me information about the size and model of the original wheels for my Studebaker Rockne, 1933. After my father bout this car in 1933 he never sold it. It was part of the family. After worldwar 2 the brakes were renewed and the wheels became flat steel ones. Later the engine was taken from a 1949 Studebaker. The car is after the dead of my father complet rebuild. Only now I am searching for suitable wheels for the car. As an accident damaged 2 wheels I have to find 5 new wheels. The car is not completly original but it looks almost new with e renewed engine on 12 volt electric. Please give me information if possible. email or postal.
I found out that there 2 of these cars in Holland. The trach of the other one is lost after a divorce in that particular family.
