Interesting question.
Maybe the Hawaii DMV records might show something...
Acording to the 2007 SDC roster, there are 12 or 13 SDC members listing Hawaii as their address. Don't know about their Stude's though...

Yes, Studes had a presence in Hawaii - CERTAINLY, even before other automakers ever left a tire mark there! Since Studebaker was THE PREMIER wagon maker in THE WORLD by the 1870s, there HAD TO BE some Studebakers on the islands by that time.
It wasn't too many years ago that I sold parts to a guy that was restoring a 55 Speedster there. I also know of several Larks that were there and I've seen 40s Studes in pictures and film clips from the time of Pearl Harbor's day of infamy.
Besides that, a quick perusal of the SDC roster shows about 16 or so members with cars there!
Miscreant adrift in
the BerStuda Triangle
1957 Transtar 1/2ton
1960 Larkvertible V8
1958 Provincial wagon
1953 Commander coupe
No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.Comment

A member of our club bought a 50 Land Cruiser in Hawaii a few years ago and had it shipped to Virginia.
It seems to me that there is a picture of an Hawaiian dealership in the "100 Years On The Road" book, but I can't find mine right now.

There was an ad listed in one of the online publications for a '58 Transtar pick-up on the Big Island in March of this year, so there's at least 1 Stude Truck on the Islands.[

Greetings, All,
I go to HI twice a year and have stopped by a home on a major residential street in Honolulu to look at an older restoration lemon/lime Speedster sitting under a carport. No one was home, so didn't talk to the owner. HI is so wet and salty, cars deteriorate just sitting there.
thnx, jv.
