My grandfather was Calvin Mahood. My grandmother and mother lived with him above the dealership
Originally posted by Green53 View PostJust found two more Nebraska dealers. Kruse-Wistedt Motors in Omaha, NE. Found it on a piece of 1938 literature. Also C.G.Mahood in Neligh, NE. I was looking at a file that my dad had kept of all the new cars he had purchased from 1948 to 1961. He purchased a new 1948 Commander Starlight from Mahood. I remember at the time he had his name in with many dealers just to get a car.

Although I can't find anything definitive online, I distinctively remember Gordon Brothers in North Vancouver, British Columbia as that is where I purchased my 1963 Gran Turismo Hawk in 1968 which I still own.
As an aside, when the Mobil Economy runs were taking place, a Studebaker which participated (I think maybe it won) was displayed at this dealership at the runs' conclusion(year unknown).

I have looked and cannot find any information on the Dealership that sold my 62 GT in Napa, CA. On Bob's site, the only listing I found was Cabone-Dickel. But it looks like it was gone before my car was sold. My build sheet showed it was shipped by rail to Napa, marked "Sold". Hoping someone can help."Man plans, God laughs".

Provincial Motor Sales, Ltd., of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada were Studebaker dealers in 1927. Recently I was given one of their newspaper advertisements. I wonder if import/export regulations of that period were free enough that they also could have sold cars in the adjacent town of Calais, Maine, U.S.A.

Yes, Rich, a rude surprise to new transplants attempting to register an out-of-state vehicle for the first time in Washington state. When my family and I first moved here in 2006 and I went to register our car, I was asked if we had owned it less than two years. When I inquired for the reason for the question, I was told that if we had owned it less than two years and we could not prove we paid sales tax on it at the time of purchase (wherever that occurred), we would have to pay an additional registration "fee" which coincidentally was exactly the same as the sales tax (state sales tax rate plus local sales tax rate) based on the value the state assigned to it (current NADA book value). Fortunately for us, we had owned our car for more than two years and had documentation to prove it. A man I worked with was not so lucky. He and his wife had purchased a relatively new used car in Georgia in a private transaction about a year before moving to Washington. They ended up having to pay close to $1,000 in "fees" to complete the registration. In Washington, residents have 30 days to register an out-of-state vehicle that's imported into the state. A different man I use to work with at Boeing had worked as a public transit bus driver during a strike at Boeing. He told me he was eligible to receive a "bounty" if he reported a vehicle to the state that he had repeatedly seen over a period greater than 30 days and was displaying an out-of-state plate. Talk about state surveillance.Last edited by Mark L; 08-14-2022, 10:12 AM.
