Most of my work is in the Virginia area. Hope to get home this week- end and get some of the cars out and on the road. This month’s event should be awesome. Please try to get your Studebaker out and attend this meet. See elsewhere in this newsletter for details. One final comment. Every time I attend a non-Studebaker meet I almost always run into some resident of South Carolina who either never heard of the national Stude- baker Club or if they are a member of the national they didn’t know a state club ex- isted. One person I spoke with said they were told by someone at the national mem- bership headquarters that the club was centered in Columbia only. We need to try and help educate these people that we’re spread all over the state and have meets scattered all over. So until the next meet have fun this spring and if you need you car washed don’t ask me. John ACROSS DOWN Thru the Side Mirror 2. A newly coined word used the year 1.

Can- celled seems to be the slogan these days The editor is continuing on his 51 project, but going slow. Got the trunk lid straightened out and painted. I had a lot more small dents and imperfections than I realized. It is on the car but still having a hinge problem. It seems that is common with worn hinges. For now I put it aside to work on another day. Most of my time has been taken up with things around the house. Like fence repair to keep deer and rab- bits out of the garden. We really prefer to eat the vegetables ourselves. And then there was pressure washing and painting decks and patios. Not any of my fun projects. The painting was hired out to Greta, and she did a good job on the deck. 4 Gallons worth.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.
