I'm in a bit of a car crisis right now.  My son's car has pretty much
bit the dust and I need to get a replacement.  I've managed to convince
the wife that this is the time for me to buy a Studebaker, then I'll
give my car to my son.

30 years ago I bought a '51 Champion Starlight. Then life got in the way;
divorce, moved, moved again; and I put the car in storage. I've now
completed some other projects, and am ready for the '51. It's home! Some
surface rust on the original paint, but amazingly solid (for a  ...

   Just for grins, I started buffing the old paint on the Commander.
Noting much I can do with the tree sap damage on the hood and a few thin
spots, but it looks a lot better.  I bought four near new wide whites on
ebay and will order a dual auction fuel pump kit and some new ...

A guy on another board I particpate in,
has a McCullough supercharger that he is
trying to ID. It belonged to his father who
was into Studes. He gave the part number

Long story.. I'll spare you the details...
Set up a Fri/Sat/Sun yard sale....

OK, newgroupers - let's contact the dealer selling the Champ truck
(#4527058853) and tell him that yellow valve covers are Studebaker in
origin, NOT International. By the way, this truck was once owned by a
Midway Chapter member for many years. After he auctioned it off for

  I just saw that they want to give up to 150K reenlistment bonuses to
certain special forces to compete with the civilian contractors offering
big money. I have mixed feeling about it, since it does not do anything
for the less skilled grunts that serve, but don't have the ...

The 50 Commander Starlight arrived today from Brooklyn and I could not
be happier. I've never owned a car this old, as original as this one is.

 I have a pair of early Stude wheels with the "slots" in them for
hubcap clips. Are they the same width and offset as a 60 Lark uses,or
not? And whats the difference if not??  THANK YOU!! RICH

While most of us are grateful, ALL of us need to recognize the efforts
