Many owner's manuals have an admonition to record the key code in a blank space provided in the manual (for this very purpose). Ok, how many of you have ever done this? Let's see the hands! I have seen owner's manuals where someone did actually do that. I don't know about GM vehicles, but with Studebakers, you can order the production order for your car, and the key code is recorded there.

BINGO! The only one! This is a picture from LIFE magazine article of the very same car.

Who, (besides me 😉) can identify the maroon woody to the right?

I'm wondering if some cleaning would reveal that number to be 103xxxx, not 105xxxx?

PLUS SHIPPING, ACROSS THE POND!

I figured as much. But thought if you were inquiring with U.S. junkyards, the info might help.

Original National Auto Glass Specification number is S3275, if you can find someone (glass shop) with old stock. If you're going junkyarding, same part used by Oldsmobile 64-67. On the part number S3275, the "S" stands for Skylight.

Up for sale at an estate sale. Anyone recognize these? Or their use. (Of course, the sale starts when I'll be at work on Saturday. I think they'd be really cool to have.) (Cross posted on What is it? Forum

I believe Studebaker International offers rebuilt or new manufactured.

That part number fits '50 Champion. 47-49 Champion king pin is completely different, straight, no arc in them.

With a cab made by International Harvester. 😉 Roughly, 1950-59.

Does anyone else see the Dodge DeSoto Chrysler Plymouth logo on this part?

It doesn't look long enough for a full-size casket. But what do I know---I've never been in one...😆

Original NAGS # D4626, replaced by D4941. That's assuming it's a front passenger door glass (RF) you're looking for, not a right rear passenger, since you didn't specify. Yes, they fit equivalent models from 71-76, Impala/Caprice, Delta 88, 71-74 Catalina. Here's one on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275451996993

Studebaker International has them for $18.00 part #195919

59-60 Studebaker Lark, except the curved end need to come to a point. Same for 62-63 Lark.

In American Graffiti, Curt Henderson (Richard Dreyfuss) drove one. The actual car was a '67 model, but the movie was set in 1962. Oops!

Notice the clip, just above the clutch pedal arm? In the simulator I "learned" on in about 1980, they were "automatics." Then, at the end of the course, they said if we wanted to try a manual transmission, reach up under the dash an pull down the clutch pedal. This also unlocked the console shift stalk, from straight forward/back shifting to a gated manual shifter. Cool. I had already been driving a manual (only) car for two years. I'll show my classmates how good I am. Every time I accelerated and let out the clutch, the simulator said I blew the engine, and red lights came on! HA! Anyway, that's why you see a clutch with an automatic column shifter. Although on this one pictured, does it change it to a three-on-the-tree? 🤪

If you need something larger, Studebaker (and others) used a large wingnut to hold down the jack in the trunk. Also, a large wingnut is used to hold the spare tire under a pickup.

The Studebaker is a pillared coupe (C-body). Here's a (54) 2 door sedan: Viva la difference. One's attractive, the other, not so much.

The IHC is an R-series which ran from 53-55. 56 was an S-series with different front end. No mention of the amazing Studebaker? 1953 K-body Champion Starliner hardtop convertible coupe. (Good thing it wasn't the C-body Starlight pillared coupe. Try to explain that one! 😆)

I would like to see the reaction when you tell your fiance' you're going to watch a movie called The Boob. 😉
