Hi, We are the new owners of a 1923 /24 Studebaker Tourer, previously rescued from Australian country farmshed, some body work by previous party had been done. Thought Sunday morning would be good time to try the forum. Can anyone help narrow down where are timing marks on the EM Cast Iron Head motor on a light six 1924, to check top dead centre. Are they on the flywheel or do we have to take off the timing cover? We are checking and cleaning everything and noting cast, part part numbers as well, we have ordered a service manual from the USA (yet to arrive), love to have a part checklist to crosscheck, but may need to wait for manual. Luckily Chassis No. plate survived (just) 1195889 - Australian Agent - Canada Cycle and Motor, Brisbane - Right Hand Drive for Aussie roads. We have been in contact with several people through the week, amazing what people know....hope you can help the down under Studebaker 23/24 make a comeback.

Welcome aboard.
If you haven't spoken to already a great Australian source of information on veteran cars would be Dave Pink in Melbourne. He is often on the forum and owns a few veterans. He also produces a newsletter for veteran owners.
Good luck

Studebaker photos
As we work out how to use the forum, will upload some photos. Considering the timeline, we are lucky with how complete she is. When found she definitely need some TLC.Comment

Wow! Looks like it almost got away; what a find. Thanks for the photo.
What does it say behind the front seat back; the partial lettering that can be seen behind where the driver's back would be pressed? BP
We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Suggest you put your state in your profile Mark/Lynne, I guess you're East Coast, I'm in Adelaide. All the best with the car, Dave Pink is a great fellow whom I had the pleasure of spending time with in Fremantle last year. He'll certainly help you out. His buddy Jim Quigley used to work for Canada Cycle and may have assembled it himself (LOL).John Clements

It was the address of the owner, he had it moved to his property and it sat in his shed for about 20 years. Will be posting some photos of how we purchased, they had begun to paint, so looked a little different, we just love the way she was found. Got the engine firing today... will be posting some more questions soon.Originally posted by BobPalma View PostComment
