Dick,
I noted with interest the contents of the STUDEBAKER NEWS you have on Ebay & the Salesmen Humdinger competition. I suspect that may be a list of winners in image four. If so, would the name of G.A.Berger appear which is on the back of my Humdinger screw back dated 1932?
Thanks, Jim.

I will never understand why they destroyed that giant car. My heart weeps every time I see a picture of it.

In Dick Quinn's Studebaker News reference is made to the 1932 Studebaker sales Humdinger competition. Those successful new car Salesmen received one of these screw back pins as recognition with their name on the back as well as the trip to South Bend.

Was Bert Needham one of the recipients of these? If so, that would have been a mighty expensive trip!!

Back in 1932 that Humdinger sales competition would have been confined to the Continental U.S. I believe Bert would have been too young in 1932 to have been the famous Sydney Studebaker Dealer that he became mainly in the postwar era. I was with him in the late seventies when he was tragically injured when a fan blade broke away at high revs from the R4 engine he was leaning over & hit the side of his head.
