The Studebaker Drivers Club is dedicated to the preservation of the Studebaker name and Studebaker related vehicles produced by the company during its period in the transportation field. A sincere interest in this cause is the only requirement for membership. Vehicle ownership is not a requirement. The Black Hawk Chapter fully supports the parent Studebaker Drivers Club, and requires membership therein. The SDC provides the membership with yearly national meetings, a monthly publication [Turning Wheels], technical assistance, historical data, assistance in parts and vehicle locating, and a membership roster on a national level. The Black Hawk Chapter provides the same services on a local level, in addition to monthly activities including 10 issues of the Starliner, dinner meetings, picnics, driving events, and fellowship and technical sessions.

The Prez Sez November 16, 2007 As I write this Thanksgiving is one week away, I truly hope everyone has a blessed holiday and has the opportunity to thank God, as our forefathers had planned, for another good year. As many of you know I have been rather busy lately between being buried at work and getting ready for my daughters wedding. Last Saturday, November 10 th, my lovely daughter Jennifer was married in Peoria to Jon Anders. The family has now expanded with the addition of son-in-law and his extended family. I do have much to be thankful for this year. It’s time to remind everyone again that chapter elections are coming in March with the slate to be put into place at the February meeting. Think about putting your hand up and filling one of the board positions. It really is not hard and you’ll actually have some fun with it! I’ve served as your president for four years now and as your VP for two years before that and have no regrets whatsoever. Our chapter constitution says I cannot serve another term, so it’s up to someone else to take the club forward. I’m probably getting a little stale also; it’s time for some new blood! I’ll be happy to give advice to whoever my replacement is. Christmas and New Years are almost upon us. I hope everyone has a great and safe holiday season. Remember your neighbors or friends that may need a helping hand. It hasn’t snowed yet. There is still time to get those Studebaker’s out on the road one more time before we bed them down for the winter. Let’s not forget why we are called a Driver’s club. I hope to see you all at the December Christmas party, let’s have a good turn out. Bring the family. Rolf BLACKHAWK CHAPTER SCHEDULE Our Activity Director is Rolf Snobeck.

Contact Jay Crites at 847-437- 1587 January 8, 2008 (Tuesday), regular membership meeting at Mr. Beef and Pizza in Mt. Prospect. Contact Rolf Snobeck at 630-514-1867. NOTE: 2 nd Tuesday!!! EDITALK By Dave Reid Wow, it’s nearly December! Hope you have a good turnout for the party on Saturday. We’ll be celebrating Kathy’s birthday with a concert and dinner out. We used to have our brunches at the Golden Pheasant MANY years ago, and it was always nice. Well, lots of “bits and pieces” have come across the desk.... Carl Hilchen wrote a note with his renewal that: “Valvoline VRI Racing Oil has a .12% Zinc additive in their 10W30 oil.” [follow up on the article about NOT using the really “Modern” oils, as they’ll ruin our OLD engines.] I found an interesting site on the internet - not “auto-related” but fun... http://zipskinny.com Lets you enter your Zip Code, and find out All Kinds of Data about Where YOU Live! Zone Coordinator Duane Miller sent this note: “The power brake booster on my Avanti went out this past summer. I searched around a bit and found a quality re-builder that had a fast turn-around time, did good work, and the price was really fair. Consequently, I thought I should pass on my findings: Midwest Remanufacturing, LLC, 5836 W 66 th St, Bedford Park, IL 60638 708-496-9100 [just south of Midway Airport] Oh, Look, another one from Duane: Check out this website for Celebrity Avanti Ownership: http://www.TheAvanti.com/celebrity.htm Studebaker National Museum’s next-door Neighbor, the Center for History, had an exhibition in 2006 called “Rockne: Crossing the Last Chalk Line”, which over 15,000 visitors saw... They decided to expand on it, and “Rockne, a Notre Dame Legend” opened in late August - - did you know that he coached 5 UNDefeated teams, had 20 first-team All-Americans, and a coaching record of 105 wins, 12 losses and 5 ties - STILL the benchmark of college football! We’ve been “Campus” members for a couple of years now, and will be going down to see this exhibit sometime in December. Jay Crites gave me some clippings, one of that Great Stude-head Brian Crane’s comic “Pickles” where they’re at a 4- way STOP and he’s complaining that the other guy went first, which she says is OK, he was there First, to which his reply is something like “That’s just not right...We are Older, and Have Less Time to get to our Destination!”..

LEDs are state of the art in a practice that began more than a century ago – illuminating the road we’re traveling. Charlie Demmy’s column this month deals with the interesting topic of headlamps, from their crude and humble beginnings to today’s high-efficiency advances. Charlie’s history of headlamps will shed some light on a common automotive feature that is routinely taken for granted. See Charlie’s story on Page 3. q This Studebaker once owned by Virgil Exner, holds the official speed record on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. — Internet photo We all know that The Pennsylvania Turnpike has been around for a long time. When it opened October 1, 1940 it was the first long-distance, limited-access highway in the United States. But it’s doubtful many know it was once used for speed events.

  • Henry Kaiser, Troy Ruttman, and Madman Muntz Three Originals
    ON THE COVER Henry Kaiser, Troy Ruttman, and Madman Muntz Three Originals ROBERT C. POST Two of the men mentioned above appear in the photograph on the cover of this issue. Henry J. Kaiser does not, just his namesake automobile manu- factured at his plant near Ypsilanti, Michigan. Of the three, however, only Kaiser’s has remained a name to be reckoned with in American history: the entrepreneur behind Hoover, Bonneville, and Grand Coulee dams; builder of a third of the entire World War II U.S. merchant fleet, as well as the world’s largest cement plant at Permanente, California, and a steel mill in Fontana that employed as many as 11,000 workers; founder of the Kaiser Medical Care Program in Oakland, which became the template for the HMOs so much in current news; developer of Hawaii Kai, another tem- plate, in this case for the luxury resort hotel complex; chief of an industrial firm that made hundreds of different products, from airplanes to dish- washers. In 2004, the Oakland Museum of California staged an exhibition about Kaiser’s “impact on the modern economic and cultural landscape” called Henry J. Kaiser: Think Big. Not everything Kaiser created survives today—only a couple of those merchant ships, and the steel mill replaced by California Speedway, a land reuse entailing minimal toxic-waste clean- up. But he certainly left monuments. By comparison, Earl Muntz’s fame was fleeting—and yet his name did become a punch line for Jack Benny and Bob Hope, he is enshrined in the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) Hall of Fame, and a sports car called the Muntz Jet is a rare treasure among collectors.

  • 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.
