The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 46 Issue 3 March 2014 Potomac Chapter The Commander Studebaker Drivers Club Volume 46 Issue 3 March 2014 We invented Cool!! My 1948 Studebaker 5 passenger coupe (starlight) was purchased in new in western NC, driven for 10 years and stored until 2011. The car was passed to grand son and sold to me in 2011. "Jimmy Earl" named after the original owner has served me well for the last 4 years. Except for paint job, new interior and custom wheels the car is original with 70,300 miles on the odometer. I am planning to bring Jimmy Earl to the 2014 SDC International meet in June at Dover Delaware of which I am a SDC DelMarVa chapter member. I also hold chapter memberships with greater Virginia and Potomac chapters.

Unfortunately, the Pennsylvania Garden Show at York will not be open dur- ing the same period. However, for those who don’t want to spend the entire weekend at the swap meet, there are numerous shopping venues in the area not to mention a large, historic downtown area. The Potomac Chapter will have two spaces in Building A, primarily for Chapter socializ- ing. However, if you want to bring a few small items to sell, you are welcome to do so. Howev- er, you will be entirely responsible for those items (pricing, collecting, cleaning up). 25 percent of your proceeds will be paid to the Chapter to offset the cost of the spaces. You will need to pro- vide your own table and chairs. Other members are requested to bring their own chairs as well. The Chapter will hold a membership meeting at the Comfort Inn (2250 North George Street) at 5 pm Friday. After the meeting a Chapter dinner will be held at 6:30 pm at Ruby Tuesday, 1401 Kenneth Road (just off Route 30 at the Best Western Hotel). All members are encouraged to attend the meeting and the dinner. Please let me know if you plan to attend the dinner so I can make sure we have enough seats at the restaurant.

Oh how I’d love to participate in face- to-face meetings and see the friends I’ve made over the past seven years as a member of the Chap- ter. Irene and I have always felt so welcome at our events and enjoyed the camaraderie of the mem- bers. The pandemic has made it impossible for us to get together unless we stay in our cars and are six feet away from one another while wearing masks. There were two times when we were able to see each other but I only made it to the one at Seneca Creek Park. It was fun and sparsely attended as we expected. Nevertheless it was fun. As you know from previous “Commanders” I didn’t make it to the tour out in western Virginia but enough members did to make it a success under the pandemic conditions.

    August 2020 The Washington Greater Seattle Chapter SDC Founded in 1969 Volume 50 Number 8 Not much to report this month either. 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.

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.
