I have a 1952 Studebaker Starlite coupe that has been modified over the years. I would like to return it to original condition but don't know how it appeared from the factory. Is there anyway I can find this information?

I did join the Studebaker drivers club and from them found my local chapter and joined them. They told me about a local Studebaker show which i also attended but didn't find my model year. The picture helps and confirms that my grill has been modified. Mine has seven smaller teeth in the grill on each side. Fortunately that seems to be the only body modification. Thanks for the help.quote:Originally posted by JDP

I described my car to the local club and they though that it might have been modified. My grill has seven teeth on each side and this didn't match any grills i saw at the local show. I was sent a picture of a 52 starlite commander and i do have a modified grill. I'll start looking for the right parts now. Im told that there is a place to get a copy of your Studebakers origional build slip, i went to the Studebaker museum site but couldn't find any information there on how to order it. Do you know where this information can be obtained? Thanks again for your help.quote:Originally posted by 55Commander
How do you know if it's been modified if you don't know how it started?
Do you have specific things you think are wrong we can help investigate?
