The engine runs so smoothly and quietly in this President, that one onlooker asked if the car had stalled and was coasting!

That car is still mostly original and has had a minimum of work done on it. It is one of only 8 of this year and body style known.Richard Quinn

Nine 1932 President roadsters Dick. We know where 8 are. Bobby Crumps disapeared about 15-20 years ago. It'll surface someday.Comment

RE: Posts #5 and #6. If Rex Miltenberger and Dick Quinn can't place a specific President of the subject era, it was probably driven off the face of the earth at some point!

TO: Studebaker Wheel,----Would You happen to know the current whereabouts/status of a '31 Studebaker President Touring Car that was in the Boston area up to about 25 years ago when the
owner (McGowan) relocated to West Palm Beach, Florida? The car was tu-tone greeen with green leather. It seemed like the biggest Studebaker passenger car I ever saw! Governor Pinchot (?) of PA
had one similar to it way back when (Model 90?) Thanks Q!Comment

Yes, Mr McGowan still owns it and is still in Florida. He has done some tinkering with it but it is still in essentially the same condition it was in when he moved. There is a second one in Florida that belongs to Ed Prince. It has been completely restored. It was shown at the Lancaster Intl meet. I believe it is for sale so let me know if you are interested. Yes these ('31 model 90s) were the longest wheelbase passenger cars that Studebaker made 136." There are four touring cars known. The governor Pinchot car has survived and is in pretty much original condition and is still in PA.Richard Quinn

TO: Studebaker Wheel,----I'm glad it occured to Me to ask You about this car....There was once a time that I saw it every day, and since I haven't spoken to Him in years.....was wondering if the
restoration was ever completed. This tourer was pretty much in original condition....the way it was when obtained from the fellow in Maine. He also probably still owns a '31 Commander Coupe.
Thanks very much for this update Q, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to You and Yours!Last edited by SN-60; 12-21-2012, 04:25 PM.Comment
