Expert, I have emailed a good friend right there in Carson near Gardena to see if he is not working tomorrow or later today and could help.
I think it may be a problem though for a stranger to approach the Terminal trying to reach the car to help without some kind of authority.

My question is are you sure that they know how to start a Studebaker? Lots of folks, especially young people think that all you have to do is turn the key. If it is an automatic trans '50, do they know where the pull switch for the starter is? If it is a manual transmission, do they know the switch is beneath the clutch?

It's probably something simple as mentioned in the previous post. Let us know what the problem was. When you get it please post some pics here on the site so we can check it out. Good luck....

So as not to worry Studerich, I just emailed the gentleman in Hawaii about his car in Gardena, CA. I see it's been about 24 hours since he posted his question but, I just turned this 'puter on after work today so, we'll see.
