Traveling approximately 40 miles through Back Creek Valley in Berkeley County, West Virginia, we were fortunate to have enjoyed beautiful weather and minimal traffic, allowing us to have fun driving our Studebakers and viewing the scenery. The seven Studebakers driven by their proud owners were: 1955 Champion, 1963 Avanti, 1963 Lark Regal, 1962 Lark Convertible, 1947 Champion Convertible, and 1950 Champion. Club members, Larry and Darlene Pugh joined us midway through the tour in their 1962 Lark Cruiser.

I big thank you goes to Terry and Shirley McDaniel for coordinating a terrific tour on Drive Your Studebaker Day. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to join the group but everyone said they had a great time because of the scenery, the res- taurant, the cool Studebakers, and, of course, the camaraderie. I was in Hagerstown at the Wings and Wheels Expo that I had committed to earlier. The GT Hawk allowed many people to reminisce about how wonderful it was to see Studebakers. Some younger folks learned about how cool Hawks still are. We had a wonderful Fall Picnic in the Catoctin Mountains thanks to Mike Farris finding a great spot for a very reasonable charge. You’d think he was the treasurer or something. Oh wait – he is. We enjoyed some great weather, lunched on a wide variety of excellent food, shared new and old sto- ries, and conducted a full business meeting. Please see Murray Welsh’s minutes for details of the meeting. We were also able to pick up our new Potomac Chapter t-shirts. They are really cool. We approved the new flyer for the Chapter at the picnic meeting. The flyer describes some of the bene- fits of being a member of our Chapter. A draft is found on page 10 of the September 17 “the Com- mander.” I’ll work to make it eye catching. How many of you have checked in on our Facebook Page? If not, please do so. Just go to Potomac Chapter Studebaker Drivers Club and one of us already a member can let you join the fun. We dis- cussed adding a biographical sketch book to our Facebook Page with photos of us with our cars. I hope you can join the Chapter Fall Tour. Paul Johnson described a really amazing trip with SDC Vice President Don Jones. Please let Terry McDaniel know as soon as possible if you will join the group on November 4. The last thing I’ll mention is a wonderful conversation with Gary Wyler of Maryland. He recently acquired a ’31 Studebaker Dictator and had some questions about who to contact regarding some questions. He sent my a few photos and his car is stunning. You’ll see one of the pictures here. I hope he will join our Chapter soon. The Commander is the monthly publication of the Potomac Chapter, Studebaker Drivers Club.

The memorable Drive Your Studebaker Day concluded with members return- ing to their respective homes on routes of their choosing. Thanks to everyone who attended. Hope you had a good time. We did! Terry and Shirley McDaniel (continued pg.10) 4 TECH TIP by Ed Lemanski FLOOD CARS - MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK Are you considering buying a project vehicle? Steps/checklist to detect whether that Studebaker or Avanti has been in a flood: • Sit in the vehicle with the doors and windows closed and do the sniff test, which could reveal the scent of moisture or mold. Also look and smell for any extreme air freshener that could be masking the musty odor. • Look for obvious signs of flood water being present in the interior, such as on door panels, rugs and upholstery (beware of recent replacements), or silt under the seats and behind the dashboard. • Examine under the hood for signs of water. Use a flashlight to check behind mechanical parts and in crevasses for signs of silt or debris accumulation. Do the same in the hidden areas of the trunk. • Check any exposed metal parts, such as fasteners, for unusual signs of rust as well as under doors, body sills and wheel wells. Once a car has been under water, it can rust unseen from the inside out. • Look for droplets of condensation inside headlights and taillights, dashboard gauges and interior lighting. • If the seller refuses a mechanic’s inspection, then walk away. NOTE: While careful checking will provide some assurance, always arrange for a reputable mechanic/trusted friend from the chapter, for a more-thorough inspection. This would be the best course of action. And, that includes collector trucks too. So, even for a love-at-first-sight Avanti or Hawk, beware of the flood-damaged classic vehicle that could turn your life into a total nightmare. WHAT IF YOUR COLLECTOR STUDEBAKER HAS BEEN FLOODED The first thing you want to do is to disconnect the battery. Once the electrical system is under water, damage is happen- ing. Especially roll down the windows if you can or leave the doors open, use a fan to start to get some ventilation to it. Rugs and other movable interior and trunk items should be taken out, since these things can hold moisture against the vulnerable metal parts of the body and frame. Since water can enter and mix with the oil and other fluids in the engine, transmission, differential, fuel tank and brake- system hydraulics, drain them as soon as possible and replace the fluids. Do not attempt to start or drive the vehicle un- til after the fluids have been changed. Once the flood waters have gone and other priorities are dealt with, you the vehicle own- er will have to decide what to do next with the water-damaged classic. Contact your in- surance company within 48 hours and get their advice and guidance. A dry Studebaker not far from the flood. 5 HISTORIAN CORNER by Ed Lemanski The Studebaker Dictator (Info from Wiki) The Studebaker Dictator was an automobile produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (United States) from 1927-1937.

The food was fantastic, as would be expected. It makes me want to cry when I see the immaculate shop in which Marvin does his work. As always, Marvin, Carolyn, and their son Marty had their cars on display. You would have thought you were on the concourse at Hilton Head, waiting for the judges! After the food and festivities were concluded, we were invited across the street to Marvin and Carolyn’s neighbor to admire his European collection. What a selection….everything from a British MGB to the top of the line Italian “Lambo”. What’s not to like? As I receive more information on the SASCO issue, I will pass it along. Everyone remember to watch The Hillholder calendar of events for upcoming car shows and tours. Sometimes they are doubled up on Saturdays. Be sure to pick one and by all means drive your Studebaker. Keep them rolling so people will notice.

  • 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.
