I know you don’t need a reminder but here is a list of our officers: Vice President- Ron Hoff, secretary – Murray Welsh, Treasurer – Mike Farris, Editor – Lynda Welsh, Activities Directors – Terry and Shirley McDaniel, Membership Chairman – Nadine and Mike Farris, Webmaster – Bob Johnston, and Historian – Ed Lemanski. Every one of the officers actively ensured that our SDC chapter remained strong with communications, activities, and our budget. Of course, there are other members who made sure we had fun in 2018: Spring Picnic – Larry and Pat Mer- haut, Hershey Fall Meet – George Hamlin, Rockville Antique & Classic Car Show – Bill Morgan and Murray Welsh, and the Fall Tour – Paul Johnson and Terry McDaniel. I hope you enjoyed being a part of this year’s Chapter as much as I did. I hope Please let me know if I forgot someone with this list. I only repeated an officer’s name if he or she coordinat- ed an event with another member. Our chapter’s Facebook page, website, and “The Commander” were visited frequently and the photos and stories were viewed and read not only by our members but other Studebaker friends as well. “The Commander” continues to bring our message to many and Lynda Welsh deserves special appreciation from all of us. She publishes this periodical so all of us remain connected. Not only that, she is just a wonderful friend. Just a week ago we celebrated the close of 2018 and anticipation of 2019 at our Holiday Luncheon at The Inn at Charles Town. It rained like crazy but the miserable weather did not stop us from making it to the The Inn and enjoying a deli- cious lunch and, even more than that, the camaraderie of our Chapter members. The presents we exchanged were amaz- ing and there were a generous number of gifts for the Toys for Tots program. Our officers remain the same for 2019– 2020. Please let one of us know if you will be interested in becoming a member of the Board in 2021. Also, we want to add photos of our members with their Studebakers to our website and our Face- book page. Please send a picture or pictures to me. Mike Farris or Bob Johnstone will add them to our Internet sites. The Commander is the monthly publication of the Potomac Chapter, Studebaker Drivers Club. Subscription is by membership to the Potomac Chapter at $15.00 yearly. Canada/Mexico $20.00, all other countries $25.00. Direct all membership correspondence to the Membership Director.

The "Great Depres- sion" of the late 1920's, into the entire 30's, shaped what was to come for America. The "Greatest Generation" came out of the 1920's. Through the lean years of the thir- ties, both Studebaker and citizens of our country sacrificed. When World War II came upon us, our men and women as- sumed a roll beyond belief. Women went to work building trucks and aircraft en- gines for Studebaker while the men went to war. This was a time when everyone would serve for "The Duration." When the War was over, our country began, just as Studebaker, with the "Forward Look" Advancements from med- icine, technology and science have been amazing. While we still have a few of this generation with us, we feel an urgency to give thanks for brave contributions. We in the Potomac Chapter have been blessed by having several members, over the years, of this very generation. Leonard Summers had been an active member for a long time as well as a loyal Studebaker owner. Back when WWII came upon us, like many, Leonard went into the Army and trained as an aircraft mechanic and aerial gunner. He arrived in England several days after "D Day" in June 1944. He was assigned as a flight engineer and top turret gunner on -B 17's with the 384th Bomber Group of "The Mighty Eighth Air Force" His duty was to assist the pilots with engine operation, fuel management and aid wounded crew members in the forward section of the aircraft as well as man the top turret 4 guns. At the time, the Eight Air Force was suffering heavy losses. Leonard flew his first mission on June 22, 1944 over Lille, France. two days later, over Bremen, Ger- many. By Nov 4, 1944, he had accumulated 35 combat missions over Germa- ny. Crews completing 35 missions were required to be sent home as "Survivors." Among his awards were three Air Medals, and The Distinguished Fly- ing Cross. After returning to the U.S., he married Lorraine and they went to Florida, where Leonard served as an instructor until wars end. He has had many Studebakers since then and a reporter from a local newspaper asked him; "Why did he like Studebakers?" His reply was; "The B-17's had Stu- debaker made engines and they got me over and back 35 times, so why not?" Leonard's last Studebaker was a 1963 GT Hawk. He is a widower and is now living with his daughter and son-in-law in Myrtle Beach, SC. He will be Ninety-Five on January 11, 2019. He would welcome hearing from his "Studebaker Buddies". Leonard Summers 1208 Tidewater Drive Myrtle Beach, SC, 29582 5 HISTORIAN CORNER By Ed Lamanski 1958 Studebaker Starlight - 1959 Cadillac Starlight Concept The 1958 Studebaker hardtops were called Starlight in the ad's but I don't think that the script ever appeared on any of the vehicles themselves. Over the years I've seen both the President and Com- mander, but not any Champion versions (none built?). The photo is of a President Starlight in Arc- tic white and Tiara gold. In 1959, Cadillac introduced their latest concept vehicle to the public and it was named Star- light. These vehicles are surrounded with design coincidences. Is it because the stylists at Cadillac had taken note of the Studebaker models of the same name. I think not. Even 1957-59 DeSotos used similar designs on their hardtop sedans. This was the look at the time.

    F L Y I N G H u b c a p s A Publication of the Central Florida Chapter The Studebaker Drivers Club, Inc. MAY 2015 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR WOW! TAX DAY IS BEHIND US. TIME TO ENJOY SPRING! May is a great time of the year, especially for those of us who live here in Florida. Most of us were smart enough to move here from the cold country, while a few of us were lucky enough to be born here. I frequently receive Studebaker newsletters from Chapters in places like Syracuse, New York and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I love getting their newsletters and frequently I get something that I think you folks will enjoy. For instance, the April Badger Bullet-N featured their Joke of the Month that I’m sure they won’t mind my sharing it with you. It goes like this---Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair. On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That after- noon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth. On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years. After you finish laughing at that one, get on out there and work on your Studebaker, or find one of our fellow members who still has a Studebaker, or more, like several of our members who own multiple Studebakers.

  • Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index
    Introduction to R&C Database Compilation & Index I have a long history and fondness for Rod & Custom magazine. This is the first magazine I purchased at age 10, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I often refer back to my collection, but find it hard to quickly lay my hands on a given article. This is for fellow HAMB members who share a love for this little magazine. This Index covers Rod & Custom Magazine from May 1953 through May 1974. I stopped at 1974 since R&C went out of print then. R&C was restarted in December 1988 and lasted until October 2014. This index is created for general reference, technical reference, research, tracing automobile histories, and genealogy. I have attempted to use a consistent categorization or article grouping scheme across all 20+ years, even though editors or previous compilations may not have used this convention. This index contains the following specific information: Title of each article along with a descriptive supplement such as club affiliation, noted customizers, past owners, professions, etc. The author’s and/or photographer’s name where space allowed. Featured vehicle year, make, model, & engine and/or engine displacement where available or where space allowed. Vehicle owner name, city and state. Where the country is other than the United States, I listed the country Product manufacturer name, city and state. Address may be included if space allowed. The month and page number of each feature article or photograph. The index is sorted by year, and a title at the top of each page indicates which year.

  • 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.
