    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.

  • The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 50 Issue 2 February 2018
    Potomac Chapter The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 50 Issue 2 February 2018 Studebakers and Facebook Steve White Our computers and the Internet open up so many vistas to us while we are at our desks or almost any stationary spot now. Many of our members enjoy the social interactions possible on Facebook. Those of us who enjoy classic cars can find a number of places on the site to post stories and photos of our Studebakers. There are three that are used by Studebaker aficionados. The first for our chapter is the Potomac Chapter SDC Facebook page. We have fourteen members now and that makes me wonder. Who among us is not taking advantage of this super social media site? We can post photos galore of our cars or anything related to Studebakers. Studebaker Addicts (International) contains some great discussions that we can access so easily. The photos range from rusted out Commanders in somebody’s field to Studebakers that are concours quality. The questions and answers with pictures posted there can be educational at times. Of course, other posts show everything from frustration to enthusiastic praise to condemnation partic- ularly when a poorly modified car is pictured. The last Studebaker Facebook page that I joined is one for Avanti lovers – Avantis Owners Associa- tion. There are so many useful things posted here for those who have original Avantis, Avanti IIs, and their successors. Owners looking for new parts have a place to go for help that usually provides a quick turnaround. My last visit to the Avantis Owners Association Facebook page found some ter- rific photos of Avanti concours winners.

  • 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.
