Stude in fo in Hagerty newsletter

[Dick Clemens]

Just got my e-news letter from Hagerty Insurance. They mention Bob Palma and that he advised them that they had made a mistake in reporting that the Studebaker Papers had been destroyed with the closing in Canada. I am getting quite excited about the publicity our favorite marque is getting in the national publications. Thank you BOB.

I wrote to Hagerty on their error and they replied to me that they already heard from Bob P.

Thanks, Dick. I had to take issue with them because they said 'most everything had been destroyed. That was in their answer to a person who simply wanted information on a possible R-engine in their 1963 Hawk; a question easily answered with extant museum documentation!

We all like the new Studebaker National Museum, but it needs the income generated by document research and selling copies of Production Orders to keep paying the bills.

The Haggerty piece would have people believe there's no need to contact anyone in South bend about historical documents, which is dead wrong. Quite to the contrary, of course: We have some of the best archives in the entire hobby, now preserved in a state-of-the-art facility. BP
