This should be a great way to get to know more about our members. One thing some of our members like to do is help out when we hear of a Studebaker or parts for sale somewhere. Many times, we will hear of someone who doesn't know what to do about it or needs help listing it for sale. If you do hear of one, please forward the info to Dan Scott, our webmaster.

  • Engines of War: the Studebaker Corporation and World War II
    Engines of War: The Studebaker Corporation and World War II An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) Ben Wilson Thesis Advisor Dr. Bruce Geelhoed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December 2019 Expected Date of Graduation December 2019 Abstract World War II was not just a battle fought in the Pacific or in Europe. The war was being won back on the home front. Because of the contributions made by Americans throughout the war, the American military was able to receive the food, supplies, and vehicles needed to win the war. Companies across the country devoted their production to fulfilling the needs of the American government. This included the Studebaker Corporation. The South Bend, Indiana automobile manufacturer had a history of supporting the American government dating back to 1857. Throughout the war, the Studebaker Corporation was given its most difficult task. During the war, Studebaker manufactured US6 cargo trucks, engines for the B-17 Flying Fortress, and the M-29 Weasel. These vehicles were not only significant pieces of Studebaker’s military history, but also its business history as the company continued to rebuild after the Great Depression. Finally, Studebaker’s role in the war effort depicts a part of the state of Indiana’s contributions to the war since a majority of the items made by Studebaker were built in Indiana. Through all of these features I analyze how one of the nation’s oldest automobile manufacturers in the country was an influential part in the arsenal of democracy. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Andy Beckman and Aaron Warkentin of the Studebaker National Museum for letting me work on the research for my thesis as I interned at the museum.

  • 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.

  • THE STUDEBAKER BUILDING, 1469 Bedford Avenue (Aka 737-745 Sterling Place), Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 19, 2000 Designation List 322 LP-2083 THE STUDEBAKER BUILDING, 1469 Bedford Avenue (aka 737-745 Sterling Place), Brooklyn. Built 1920; Tooker and Marsh, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map 1239, Lot 1 On October 31, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Studebaker Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 6). The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A representative from the Historic Districts Council spoke in favor of the designation. In addition, the Commission received letters from the Friends of Terra Cotta and the owner in support of the proposed designation. Summary Built in 1920, the Studebaker Building is one of the few automobile showrooms remaining on Brooklyn's once thriving Automobile Row, the stretch of Bedford A venue running north and south from Fulton Street to Empire Boulevard in Crown Heights. The corporation deemed the Brooklyn location desirable due to the large number of car owners in the borough, and the building was constructed at the height of Studebaker's prominence as an automobile manufacturer. Designed by New York-based architects Tooker and Marsh, the neo-Gothic style building is brick, clad in white terra cotta manufactured by the Atlantic Terra Cotta Works, the largest fabricator of architectural terra cotta in the world from the tum-of-the­ century to the Depression. Significant features of the building include segmental arched openings on the fourth floor, battlemented parapet with black and white terra-cotta wheel emblems, and neo-Gothic style details including moldings, colonettes, and figural sculpture.
