Don't know about Power Wagons, but not used on 54-56 dodge pickups.

I am not a spark plug collector, and I didn't know about this. But I think it should be of interest to many here. I discovered it while going down the proverbial "rabbit hole" looking at a Studebaker advertised for sale.

In high school from 1977-81, (same hometown as George Lucas) the guys hung garters from the rear view mirror. I don't know why. I didn't have a car! 🤓

To the penalty box...only because it's SOLAR POWERED! 😬

Divers may have "codes" they follow that governs what they can or can't do when coming upon something like this. May not ethically be able to "salvage" relics.

For these two examples shown, the parking light lens is the difference. On the blue truck identified as a 42, the glass lens extends back farther on the housing than the lens on the fire truck, which is a 46-47.

Don't worry about the tail light not matching pictures. Many, many, many tail lights were available from the aftermarket, thus many were replaced during the era.

Not used as a horn button. The larger red ball emblem was used on the grilles on '36-38. There may have been variations to the mounting attachments on the back depending on the year. When used on President models, PRESIDENT is spelled out below the TUDEBAKER letters.

Is there a way to look up patent numbers by date?

Emissions are harder to control on a manual transmissions. FED doesn't like that. Automatic transmissions now have so many "gears" to keep them in near-perfect speed-to-gear ratios resulting in better mileage. Topped by the unreliable CVTs. Much more stop-and-go traffic during commutes. Agree, it's a pain after a few miles. Too hard to shift while holding a Starbucks and a phone. But I've seen it done. Even harder if you smoke.

Then there's this: (IYKYK)

The only rear window for a pickup close to that would be the small window on the 55-59 Chevy and GMCs. It may be that. Is it laminated glass, or tempered? Look for the maker's mark etched on the glass.

At estate auction yesterday.

Estate sale yesterday.

Thank you. Did not sell at an estate sale for $200. Nor on half-price second day at $100. Sold on on-line auction of leftovers at $57.75. Plus 15% buyer's premium, plus Tax.

I still had 3 or 4 of those center caps new in the package a few years ago. But they were larger, for a larger wheel than on this Datsun.

The model appears to be a cocker spaniel. 😉

Nifty toy sailboat on the steps behind the kids.

Maybe looking for a car bra...

That is a VERY sharp looking rig!

'cept for the current California plate on the Edsel.

The Studebaker National Museum has blueprints of parts. Do they have engineering drawings for your seat? Don't know. You will pay a fee for the time for them to research your part. Then, if they have it, a fee for copies of your part. It is an amazing resource to have available. https://www.studebakermuseum.org/archives-and-education/about-the-archives/
