Studebaker in the News Book

[Carl Purdy]

Does anybody have this book? It is over an inch thick. It has about every news article about Studebaker from day one until 1966. I found it back in the 80ds. I found the article about the Wagonaire in Motor Trend Jan. 1963 that Bams was talking about. Real interesting.

Yes; I've had a copy since Day One; Copyright 1986.

Did you notice the author, Michael Scherer?

I'm pretty sure it's the same Michael Scherer that built the 11-second, wheel-standing little 259-powered 1959 black Lark 2-door(!) many have seen running at Osceola Dragway near South Bend during recent SB International Meets. BP

[Carl Purdy]

It says in the book he is from Toledo, Ohio.

Yes. Some of us are not only old enough to have bought the book in 1986 -- we're old enough to have bought the magazines reprinted therein right from the news stand.

More to the point, Skip: Some of us are old enough to have planted the tree from which the pulp was later harvested to manufacture the paper on which the book was printed! [:0][8][}] BP

Wow, thanks for giving me yet another book to find![8D] My wife is getting fed up with all of the automobile books lying around the house, not just Studebaker. Oh well![}]


1963 Lark, 259 V8, two-tone paint, Twin Traction. I can't wait till the salt is off the roads!!

Sounds like a cool book, I think I need to find that one.

Again, I can't believe this book has never been mentioned here before... good thing I've been buying magazine articles piecemeal off eBay when they're already compiled in a book[}]

Hey Bams I have 1986 address if it is still any good. For the publisher.

What Bill said. These are not that hard to come by. It's a safe bet there will be at least four of them offered at Cedar Rapids this summer, but you may have to dig in a vendor's "Misc. Literature" box to find one (or more). BP

SIGH.......... still so much to learn[xx(]

Here is Mike Scherer's address from the 2008 SDC Membership Roster.

No telephone number or e-mail address is listed.

For all I know, he may have some of these books remaining:

Wanted one for years. So long, in fact, that I forgot about it (not such and hard thing for me these days[)]).

Finally got one at '07 South Bend. It's HOURS of good info!!
