1930s roadster

I need to identify the car in the background (not the white Marmon, but the roadster). The speedster in the foreground is my dad's.

Its a Packard, but I don't know anything about it.

My dad's car is the Packard. I want to know what the two-toned roadster iis n the background.

Thanks.

I'm thinking Studebaker...

1929 Studebaker roadster, I believe.

Oh, yes I know that car. It is a 29 Studebaker Four Seasons roadster. The owner brought it to our Studebaker show in Bridgewater, Va on the Sunday after Hershey.

The car is a 1929 Studebaker President 8 Roadster Model FH. 125" wheel base with 20" wire wheels, 337 CID inline 8 cylinder engine.

It is not a Four Seasons model, they were not produced until 1931 and were so called because they had roll up side glass windows (Four Seasons weather proof). The 1929 uses snap up side curtains in bad weather.

Thanks everyone.

They made GREAT Stock Car racers out of them in the 1920's

West, That Packard Boatail looked great at Hershey, so did the black Pheaton parked across from it. The thing I noticed the most was the dust that covered both of them since they were parked on the road side. Neither car owner seamed to mind the dust and no effort was made to dust them off, one of the COOLEST things I saw in the show this year. Made me think these guys really enjoyed the hobby and their cars.

I bought an old photograph album with lots of pictures of a Studebaker roadster. The photos were dated August 17, 1931.

My dad has owned that Packard since 1974 and has driven it about 40,000 miles. It was restored 10 years ago, and he has since put several more thousand miles on it. Does he enjoy the car and the hobby? He was not concerned about the dust, nor was he interested in winning any trophy. He loved sitting in the car being able to watch the "parade" as the cars drove off the field right in front of him. He drove the car through Pennsylvania for the next eight days after the show on the CCCA Caravan.

Those are great photos.

It is a 1928 model FB studebaker president. It did belong to late club member Ray Mc Laughlin of calif. I was resently bought by Malcolm Stilson of Az. He is enjoying every minute of it. Glad to see these cars being used.

Len Shepard, Those photos you posted are a 29 President Indianapolis Pace car replica. They were the pace car in 1929 and I believe Studebaker was the first car company to offer a replica. I have one. Is there any chance to get copies of those photos? Also do you know the area they came from? Thanks, Rex

Everyone likes photos!

Studebaker set a 24 hour record at the Atlantic City board track at 85.20 and 85.08 MPH Team members were ab jenking, Zeke Meyer, Bob McDonough, Ralph Hepburn and "Russ" Snowberger. I think it was Zeke Meyer or anothe Studebaker driver in Philadelphia whos family cleaned out the house within the last 20 yeass and all his trophies and team uniform were tossed at the curb on trash day. That was a crime.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">You got it right, Studerex!

This is Malcolm Stinsons car, he certainly is enjoying it very much, he send me some pics from it in June already.

I know he was on tour with it for the months of September and October.

I think the word enjoying it does not carry the load, the President must have swept him of his feet when he bought it!

And he's right, this is a gorgeous car!!

Malcolm, good luck with your beautiful Studebaker!

You can right click on your mouse and then "save image as" and you can get them in your computer.

I collect Studebaker pictures and snap shots, but I am not real familiar with 20s cars. I don't know where the photos came from.

Here are some more of that car and other Studebaker roadsters.

Thanks for the web site studebakerclassics. I had not seen it.
