  • '39-'40s lets see 'em!

    So far we have '52s, Larks, and '58s. I'd like to see more of my own favorite years of prewar Studebakers, '39s and '40s!

    OK Chris...stand by...haven't got as many prewar car pix myself, but there's a few, including your own '40 at SB...

      The most appropriate car to begin with is Chris' own ex-Ely Stokes '40 Champion 2dr sedan...seen at the May 2010 Michiana swap meet in SB.



      More to follow...

              Kind of a neat melancholy "window in time" shot through the Champion, showing a '60 Hawk parts car (now absorbed into a '61 Hawk project here in the Hamilton area)

                This one's neither a 39 nor a 40, but represents the final version of the classic prewar Champion design. '46 coupe at York.

                      Three Champion rods from the Fleetwood estate 2010 event...Stude Canada centennial celebration (over fifty Studes turned out). First one is a gorgeous 40 coupe, Hamilton Chapter car from the Cambridge area...

                      Another 46; I've only ever seen a couple of these.

                        Here's mine. '40 President. Final Assy. Date: 12/20/39. Model 6C W3. Originally Dove Grey.
                        Shipping destination New York, NY.
                        Only option shown on Production Order is DX40 -- Phantom Wheel.

                        I purchased it in 1987 from the man who had owned it for about 40 years.
                        Before someone asks, it does have a non-Studebaker hood ornament added by
                        one of its previous owners. The gentleman I bought it from drove it as his daily
                        driver into the 1960s.

                          I think that this is a 40' Commander Coupe. The grill's are 40' and on the side of the hood you can barely make out "COMMANDER"

                              I think that car once belonged to Dick Quinn.
