A questionnaire was sent to 336 families to determine the number of familiet iho had used the booklet as a guide for family tours, the number of site they visited, and an evaluation, of each` one. The results indicate, that. the majority of respondents .who had received the book used it as a source of information. Length of residence in the area has a ppsitive influence on the number of sites visited.

ALTERNATE FORMATS: RELATED HOLDINGS: ACCESSION 1993.0715, 1995.0138 NUMBER: NOTES: HISTORICAL SKETCH The Studebaker Corporation, based in South Bend, Indiana, began making automobiles in 1902. During the 1920s and 30s Studebaker produced high-end cars such as the President and the Champion that marked engineering firsts in the automobile world. During World War II, Studebaker produced a line of military vehicles for the United States Army. The management of Studebaker repeatedly had trouble with labor costs and quality control issues. In an attempt to stabilize their financial situation, Studebaker merged with Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit during the 1950s. Though the merger helped to diversify the selection of vehicles, including the creation of the very successful Lark and Avanti, it did not create the financial stability that the owners hoped. The competition from the “Big 3” automobile manufacturers proved too much competition for a small company like Studebaker.

  • November 2020 Magazine
    North Shore Vintage Car Club Your journal Your stories Your photos Your cars Progress: Your ideas Your committee The monthly journal of the North Shore Vintage Car Club November 2020 1 Progress Editorial November 2020 First of all, “Thank you” to all our contributors this month. Whether it be photos or stories, local contributions make this magazine so much more interesting for our members. Please keep your contributions coming; the whole membership is grateful for your efforts. I have finally got to the bottom all of my MGB gremlins. It’s been a tale of two steps forward and one back with the root cause being a failing ‘hot’ coil. The other poor running and wavering rev counter issues were caused because my “hot” electronic ignition, (when running with a standard coil) needed its positive feed to come from a ‘clean’ source and not the coil. It’s quite complicated but now resolved and if you have 8 hours to spare I’ll tell you about it someday. The MG passed its WoF during the week but the garage, who I’ve learned to trust, pointed out that the engine and gearbox rubber mounts are starting to break down. I’ll put the car up on our new ramp soon and have a good look myself, but having read some horror stories about these things, I think this might be a job for a specialist MG garage. Finally another plus for our National VCC Discussion Group. We now have around 1600 members in the group and the photographs and stories that are being published are just amazing.
