Help! I am retiring and relocating and must sell my '57 Clipper Sedan. It is a straight, never-rusted California car that needs finishing. It has had a LOT of work done already (rechromed, repainted, resupercharged, etc., etc.) It needs to have the new interior installed

| Latest shop pics | 10 Sep 2006 23:39 GMT | 3 |
Here's some pics I just took from the shop. I took a pic of every car and truck, except for the 57 Silver Hawk and my 63 Daytona, as they are inside and I couldn't get a decent pic of them. I then cranked up my (or, what used to be mine) '51 flat bed dump truck and took some pics

| Missing the good old days......OT (sigh) | 10 Sep 2006 14:42 GMT | 62 |
I remember the early days when I found this NG and thought I had found paradise. All these wonderful people that loved Studebakes as much, or even more, than I did all in one place talking about, what else, Studebakers. These were the salad days, and they were good. Then one

Hi Guys, Boy, I'm just loaded with questions today! Here in New Jersey gas stations are now required to sell gasoline that is blended with anywhere between 10% - 15% ethanol. I've noticed that the 289 engine in my 63 GT Hawk has been idling a bit rougher with this new gas

| Speedo noise | 10 Sep 2006 01:57 GMT | 8 |
I've been driving my new hawk everywhere since having it licensed and have started to notice a rumbling noise starting at 20mph coming from the dash. I think it is the speedo or the speedo cable. Should I remove the cable from the speedo and oil it or is it time for a new cable or ...

| one more step to a leak free car... | 10 Sep 2006 01:54 GMT | 8 |
I had one of those brain fade moments last week... made some new gaskets for the power steering reservoir with cork gasket paper, but neglected to check the thickness of the cork I was using, as I'd done this job before on another pump. Turns out in the generic Fel-Pro

Besides the radiator Studebaker used in the first Avanti's, is there any other kind that would work, without lots of fabrication? I know removing them is a major job. Thanks!

Hi Studidudes, Does anyone know what the "normal" engine hot oil pressure range is supposed to be for a 1956 Studebaker 289 V8 engine? All I know is that the oil pressure is normally lower in 62' and earlier engines than in

It was with some sadness that I heard The Pavilion at Myrtle Beach is closing, and that got me to thinking about another great amusement park that is no longer with us, Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey. This was one of those great old amusement parks that started as a
