Bullet Nose Propeller

[oldjunk]

Hi All, new to the forum, looks interesting. I am looking for an accessory propeller for my '50 bullet nose. Could be original or aftermarket re pop. Must be in "Show" condition. Please respond to thenagain@sbcglobal.net Thanks, Peter

WELCOME! And maybe a couple 50mm guns out the grills also

Welcome! As for a propeller, you will think I'm nuts, but contact "Frazer farm equipment" in Auburn Indiana. They have a new one-of-everything for every graham-paige and CROSLEY ever built. A Crosley wagon had a simmiular, but smaller "bullet nose" that had a propeller mounted in the center that rotates freeley. That would be just about the right size for a Studebaker bullet nose. Thats what I would do. Post some pics of it when you are finished. I also like the idea of the guns out of the grilles.[]

What was I thinking[?] Youll need them out the back too because we wont know which way youll be flying

Anybody ever think of this... Actually reverse a bulletnose starlight and just make the back the front. Actually, more like put the roof and rear windows on backwards. That starlight back end always reminded me of the cockpit of a plane. And of course put on the propeller and some guns, etc...[8D][]

Hey Peter.... I thought you already had one on your car. I've got pictures....

I actually spun your propeller and then took pictures with the motor drive on my camera. The sequence came out pretty cool.

You didn't crash that pretty car did you?

Chris, get to bed! You have to get up tomorrow for the big Studebaker adventure! As for guns in the grill, thats a good idea.

If it helps, the original accessory prop sold in the 50's was called a "Lindbergh Prop".
