Tip of the hat to Ed Reynolds

[unclemiltie]

I just got my 2014 catalog. I must say it is another class act.

I quickly skimmed it and was amazing to find new items including a lot of TRIM that use to be NLA.

Without Ed's efforts a lot of this inventory may have been lost forever.

What I always find amazing at swap meets is when I go to buy a part and the vendor says, "Just a minute, let me check the SI catalog".

We (notice I include myself) whine about the higher prices, but 1) we can still get the parts 2) Have you checked prices for other makes recently, they are sure not staying stagnate.

I do believe that the SI catalog is the "Bible of the Parts Vendors" and there is nothing wrong with that at all and I do not want to make any religious tones here.

And there You have it.

Look forward to getting my copy.

I'll be waiting everyday at the mailbox looking for the catalog!

maybe we should use this thread as to when we get ours - similar to what Mr. Chapman is doing with TW issues.

i'm not sure how it works to get one, but i think since i purchased products in the last catalog (and before that) hopefully, i'll get one!

you're right, it is a Studebaker "parts" bible!!!

[BobPalma]

Absolutely, Milt. What an incredible tome! to Ed.

Idea: Sprinkled throughout the catalog are various members' Studebakers. Why not use your thread, here, Milt, to have members post the Page on which their car appears if they find it in the catalog? BP

I'm still waiting on mine!!

Oh, wait a minute....

[StudeDave57]

And there You have it.

No, actually I do NOT have it--- YET!!!


But seriously~
Thanks to Ed for saving these parts, and to his staff for taking the time to inventory it.
You are a HUGE asset to our hobby and should be commended for your efforts.

That is a good idea, if your car is in the catalog lets hear from you

I can start the picture up date my Clipper and my brothers President are on page 167. We are lucky as we got true color pictures as our cars are black and black and white. If you could look close you would see lots of Studebaker international parts on or in both cars. Still looking at new catalog for things I don't need just like when I was little looking at Sears Christmas catalog. The picture of both of our cars was at Gettsyberg

Oh, wait a minute....

Well...since you work there...how 'bout sending me yours...you don't need the clutter, and I am apparently not on the mailing list.

[52 Ragtop]

Got mine today, Thanks Ed, BTW, can you guys imagine what it must cost to 1: put the catalog together, 2: print it, 3: mail it out out everybody!
YIKES! Not for the faint of heart!!

Thanks Ed

[Tom Bredehoft]

Am I the first to notice the extensive use of color in the new catalog?

WOW.

[Stu Chapman]

I'm uncertain as to what the purchase requirements are to receive an SI catalog. Maybe Chris can advise. I think I've spent over $100 this year. I sure would like to have one.

I haven't got mine yet. I have spent a lot of coin the last few years so hopefully I'm on the list but if not I have no problem paying for a copy. A small price to pay to benefit from Ed and crew's hard work. Thanks Ed for the continued support to our hobby!

[dean pearson]

Should I check to see if they have a 52 beltline trim?
