This statement exemplifies the story of Bob (Dusty) and Diana Wagner. They joined our club several years ago. They attended many of our Club functions over the years. Christ- mas parties, they would drive over from Clarks- burg, WV, to attend these events; sometimes in snow and fog. The last function was the Fall Tour to Elkins WV. Diana had been told several years ago that she had inherited a disease that ultimately killed her father. Diana really never fussed or complained as this disease progressed. She was stubborn and proud, refusing to give in to the many discomforts that she suffered on a daily basis. On October 30, 2014, Diana passed on. Larry and I attended her wake. Many friends came to pay their respects to Dusty November 28, 1949-October 30,2014 and Diana’s family. Some Studebaker friends trav- eled from Canada, Dayton, Ohio, Virginia and other parts of West Virginia. Her courage and determination were to be admired, but no more than Dusty’s loving care. She will truly be missed. New members December Birthday Ken and Doris Wilson 4915 Marianne Drive B'days Ann Braham 12/1 Scott Poole 12/19 Mt.

Here is the corrected list. William "Bill" Morgan * 47 Champion Convertible Ron Salen 62 Lark Bee Hamlin 62 Ambulet Ken and Doris Wilson 53 Champion No windshield card ? Hawk Steven White 62 GT Hawk Sue Johnson 64 Avanti Lori Geiger 57 President Robert Winokur 82 Avanti Murray Welsh 50 Champion Theron White 63 Lark *Note: Bill's Studebaker was honored front and center as one of the Orphan vehicles in attend- ance. 2015 Planning Meeting minutes see page 7 4 Rockville Car Show TECH TIP by Ed Lemanski Installing an 8 Volt Battery At the Rockville Classic Car show, Murray Welsh proudly showed off his recent up- grade to his 1950 Studebaker Champion 4- door. Look carefully at the under hood pho- to and you will see four fill caps on the top of the battery. This clearly identifies it as an 8 volt unit. Closer examination also shows an alternator in place of the generator. The chromed mounting hardware is a nice fin- ishing touch. The vendor installed a chrome single wire GM type 8 volt positive ground alternator in place of the original 6 volt generator. This eliminates the need for a voltage regula- tor. With a slight modification to the stock generator mounting bracket the alternator installed perfectly. The dashboard ammeter gauge clearly registers as his battery is being recharged. This solved the myriad issues you run into when you attempt an upgrade of this complexity. 5 I have received an excellent article from Steve White about what its like to own an old Stu- debaker. It is too long to appear in the Com- mander but is on the Chapter web site and worth reading. Enjoy! Stude Spotter - Hemmings Motor News, 11/07/14Grifton, North Carolina, in 1953 http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2014/11/06/grifton-north-carolina-1953/ I found out at Rockville that a 1982 Avanti was chosen by Pat Goss of the MotorWeek TV show as the best car in show at the recent Lilypons event out side of Frederick, MD. Turns out it belongs to Bob Winokur who was at Rockville with the very same car. He got a huge trophy to display. Unfortunately, I don't think he is a member of the Potomac chapter.

  • 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide from 1996 Was Compiled with the Cooperation of Members of the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register
    1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide 2 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide Copyright © 1996, 2017 by Frank J. Ambrogio For the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register Last Update - September 7, 20213 Page 3 Introduction The original 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Authenticity Guide from 1996 was compiled with the cooperation of members of the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk Owners Register. Participating members responded to questionnaires indicating the color, condition, texture, location, etc., of items related to authenticity. The results were compiled and compared against other sources to determine what is probably the most correct condition. Since that time, many new items have come to light and are included in this new Guide. Authenticity is a rather nebulous term as applied to Studebakers. During my research, I found accessories which were not listed in any of the Studebaker literature for 1956 Golden Hawks. Every effort has been made to research the items listed as thoroughly as possible. I placed more significance on the Studebaker Chassis, Body, Shop Manuals, as well as magazine articles and drive reports from the period when the cars were new, than on company brochures and advertisements which often were printed before the cars actually went into production. Even relying on magazines from the period was no safe bet. The April 1956 issue of Hot Rod magazine shows a beautiful picture of the dashboard and steering wheel on page 54. However, the horn button was from a 1955 model. As for company brochures, the one entitled STUDEBAKER HAWKS, craftsmanship with a flair also shows a 1956 Golden Hawk dashboard and steering wheel, however the steering wheel is black, instead of white.

  • 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.
