The Commander Volume 44 Issue 2 March-April 2012 Potomac Chapter Studebaker Driver’s Club The Commander Volume 44 Issue 2 March-April 2012 President York Report, March 1– 3, 2012 Murray Welsh We invented Cool!! 24121 Ridge Raod In spite of declining vendor participation in recent years, York 2012 just seemed Germantown, MD 20876 301-253-3723 like a better meet than the last few years. Maybe decent weather had something to do [email protected] with it. Maybe the expanded activities and vendor product demonstrations were responsible. It seemed like the Friday crowd was large longer and there were a lot of shoppers on Saturday. Unlike Vice President previous years very few vendors left early. Maybe it was the drawing for $200 for vendors that stayed Ron Salen 14717 Lake Terrace until closing. Rockville, MD 20853 [email protected] Vendor product demonstrations included Jim Turner demonstrating installation of his disc brake con- 301-460-1970 version for most Studebakers. The Veit ’63 Cruiser was the demonstration car. Karl couldn’t be there, Treasurer but Bob Johnstone assisted with the very popular demonstration. Other demonstrations included in- Dave Farris stallation of an Avanti headliner by Myer’s Studebaker, plastic casting by the Shrock brothers, and 4313 Landgreen Street stainless trim restoration by Matthew Burdette (known for his Tailgating column in Turning Wheels). Rockville, MD 20853 301-460-4341 It was Matthew’s first visit to the York Meet. Ndfarris 1 @verizon.net A new activity this year was valve cover racing. This is sort of like the Cub Scout’s Pinewood Derby Secretary Stephen Walter where small racers run down an incline under gravity power. The difference is, the racers here are 7401 Westlake Terrace #1504 Studebaker engine valve covers with wheels. Bethesda, MD 20817 301-767-9416 [email protected] There were a number of interesting cars and trucks in the outside car corral and some really nice ones inside. Tickets for the 2012 Raffle Car, a black and white 1955 Speedster, had been sold out for a while. Activities Director The Keystone Chapter took advantage of the demand for tickets by early introduction of their 2013 Paul and Karen Johnson Raffle Car, a stunning red 1960 Hawk. This car last belonged to Potomac Chapter members Susan and 1122 Duncan Road Harpers Ferry, WV 25425 Dave Witmer. They sold the car at the Atlantic Zone Meet in Gettysburg last summer. The buyer was 304-876-3347 kept secret until Keystone introduced it on March 1. No Potomac Chapter member was lucky in the [email protected] raffle, however. The ’55 Speedster was won by a person in Wisconsin and the $2,000 cash prize went Membership to a woman in Illinois. Nadine & Mike Farris 4313 Landgreen Street Potomac Chapter was well represented. It is impossible to name everyone from the chapter because of Rockville, MD 20853 the crowds and the danger of leaving out someone. However, there was a large turnout for the mem- 301-460-4341 Ndfarris [email protected] bership meeting Friday afternoon at the Comfort Inn and there were 32 people at the chapter dinner Friday evening at Ruby Tuesday. The planned dinner location, Logan’s Roadhouse, decided they Historian weren’t going to accept large groups on Friday, Saturday or Sunday evenings so your Activities Direc- Ed Lemanski 7875 Red Jacket Way tor, Paul Johnson, had to scramble at the last moment to find a new location. As it turned out, Ruby Jessup, MD 20794 Tuesday proved to be an excellent venue. 301-776-9893 [email protected] For the past two years the Potomac Chapter has rented the two spaces formerly belonging to Paul Web Master Johnson. Members have been welcome to sell their wares in the spaces. This year sellers included Bob Bob Johnstone Johnstone, Larry Merhaut, Bob Devore, and George Hamlin. Bill Morgan and Bob Devore donated 12161 Holly Knoll Circle several items to sell.

He called them his [email protected] “Karma parts” because a friend had given them to him and he didn’t feel right about selling a gift. Karma paid off for Paul, but that’s a separate story. Editor Lynda Welsh 24121 Ridge Raod Keep this chapter feature in mind for next year. It proved to be a good opportunity for our sellers to Germantown, MD 20876 clear out some unneeded items and gain back some space. 301-253-3723 [email protected] Look forward to York 2013.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (continued on pg. 6) Volume 44, Issue 2 Birthday Wishes TECH TIP By Ed Lemanski March Maintaining Your Studebaker Karen Barthlow 3/6 Kathy Hermann 3/7 Read up on everything you can find about your vehicle. A Jeff Bartlow 3/9 decade ago, you would have a hard time finding which Nancy Pfahler 3/12 parts would fit a 1959 Lark. But since we now have the ac- cess of the Internet, you can easily research which parts, Robert Winokur 3/16 accessories and options that your vintage Studebaker has Sidney Kertzel 3/22 or could have. Jan Rutledge 3/23 You can also look for restoration items in Turning Wheels, JoAnn Straatveit 3/23 Old Cars or Hemmings. There are several classic car blogs, Edwin Dashiell 3/25 tech exchanges, on-line forums, and sites that feature DIY repair and restoration work on Studebakers. Specific resto- Barb Sibert 3/31 ration techniques are indispensable, so take the time to learn from these first-hand from others who have already done so. Ask/post your questions, you will get an answer April from someone. Susan Eppig 4/1 Inspect your vehicle thoroughly. Parts which are heavily Linda Winokur 4/1 rusted need to be replaced, as well as worn-out, such as seat Pam Wallace 4/5 covers and carpet. Check everything under the hood. Look Kaye Kirby 4/7 for leaks, worn-out belts, and suspicious electrical connec- tions. Hal Hermann 4/8 Margaret Bjarnason 4/19 Another thing you should do for inspection is to make a list of everything that needs to be replaced, repaired, or simply Chester Bradfield 4/27 cleaned. By doing so, you will know what to buy and where Janice Butts 4/30 to buy them. Shop for non-mechanical parts like rear-view mirrors or Welcome New Members seats at junkshops, or look for parts cars in online car auc- tions. For all the other parts, like the engine, brakes, carbu- retor, piston, and even an A/C system; you need to find Tom Morith unused stock parts. If you don’t have a local shop that does 2946 Torrey Place have what you need, resort to online shops. Online car parts Alexandria, VA 22302 shops offer a wide variety, and would probably have, or could find, what you are looking for.

The food was fantastic, as would be expected. It makes me want to cry when I see the immaculate shop in which Marvin does his work. As always, Marvin, Carolyn, and their son Marty had their cars on display. You would have thought you were on the concourse at Hilton Head, waiting for the judges! After the food and festivities were concluded, we were invited across the street to Marvin and Carolyn’s neighbor to admire his European collection. What a selection….everything from a British MGB to the top of the line Italian “Lambo”. What’s not to like? As I receive more information on the SASCO issue, I will pass it along. Everyone remember to watch The Hillholder calendar of events for upcoming car shows and tours. Sometimes they are doubled up on Saturdays. Be sure to pick one and by all means drive your Studebaker. Keep them rolling so people will notice.

  • The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 48 Issue 6 June 2016 Hershey Day Trip
    Potomac Chapter The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 48 Issue 6 June 2016 Hershey Day Trip May 14th, a beautiful spring morning, found Ruth and Darrell Carr, Nadine and Mike Farris, Ron and Don Hoff, Bob and Donna Johnstone, Karen and Paul Johnson, Shirley and Terry McDaniel, and Pat and Larry Merhaut gathered at the Burger King at Thurmont, Maryland. The caravan lined up and pulled out exactly at 9:15 as sched- uled heading north on US 15, a friendly and scenic drive. After crossing in to Pennsylvania, at York Springs the car- avan headed off toward Carlisle following Route 94. Those who had not been on that route were very im- pressed by the beauty of the Adams County orchard lands, all in all a very scenic route. At Carlisle the caravan joined Interstate 81 and headed east. Af- ter a few wild lane changes enroute in the Harrisburg vicinity caravaners exited 81 north of Hershey and headed down Route 39 toward Hershey. With a number of traffic lights and heavy traffic be- tween 81 and Hershey some intrepid travelers got widely separated, but not to worry. Ruth Carr’s excellent directions got all to the first stop, Hershey Gardens with no problems. Hershey Gardens is beautifully located on a hill top overlooking the town and Hershey Park. All enjoyed the beauty of the Gardens with wide, very accessible paths and very unusual plants, imagi- native sculptures and more. All in all Hershey Gardens is a very worthwhile destination in itself. Keeping right on the carefully timed schedule, the caravan left for lunch at a Panera Bread restaurant nearby.
