  1. Nope. Wheels and frame too big!
  2. My listings only go back to 1936. FWIW: Pontiac, Buick, Olds, LaSalle, and Cadillac all shared the same vent window in '36. Maybe the same holds true for '35 as well? I just don't know. The vent window is different between '35 and '36.
  3. The only good yard left in Fresno would be Turner's. https://www.turnersautowrecking.com/ Globe was liquidated and Romo's crushed everything.
  4. I posted on your other thread on same subject.
  5. Within the same body styles, the windshields are the same for 36 Dodge and Plymouth. Sedans take one w/s, coupes take a different one, and convertibles take another different one. The convertible is a shorter height w/s. The coupes and sedans are about the same size as each other, but a different shape. The NAGS pattern number you need is 925 if you have an auto glass shop with old patterns, or order it from someone online.
  6. KMJ in Fresno went on the air in March 1922 and also uses a 50,000 watt transmitter. Saturday mornings they have Auto Shop Talk call-in program. I learn a lot about modern vehicles.
  7. The following cars all share the same glass (and body). All the internal hardware should be the same. I can't imagine GM would change these items, but I don't know that for sure. Pontiac 1941-48 4dr sedan Streamliner Torpedo. Models JB, KB, LB, MB, PB. Job or Style 2609. Oldsmobile 1941-48 4dr sedan Dynamic Cruiser Models 76, 78. Job or Style 3609. Buick 1941-48 4dr sedan Touring Special 40, Century 60 Models 41 & 61 Style # 4409 and 4609. Cadillac 1941 4dr Touring Series 63, 61 Style 6319 and 6109. 1942-47 4dr Series 63, 61 Style #6319 and 6109. That gives you some choices. The key is checking the Job or Style number.
  8. I came into this late...I can tell you what cars will interchange regarding the doors. But you must give me the "job" number on the I.D. / Trim plate from the firewall. It should be a 4 digit number, also with two letters, probably. GM had so many body styles during this era, and many people use the wrong name or term describing these cars. Having the Job Number eliminates guessing. Or find a Hollander's Interchange Manual at the Library.
  9. 1940 Studebaker Champion center sections, maybe? Aftermarket.
  10. Maybe this one? http://www.bigmauto.com/ Do some searches on this Forum about them.
  11. Yep. Light stamped metal. The two holes are the clue. You can find pictures of whole sets of these.

  13. The car that rolled in the movie was a mocked-up Studebaker. It still exists.
  14. Once again, not advertised to it's target audience. Estate Sales by Treasures To Find - Estate sales in Modesto, Turlock and surrounding areas. We help families host estate sales in the central valley.
  15. Beautiful. I think it is a recent build. Doors look skinned over with the wood. Whereas real woodie door frames around the windows are generally thicker, I think these just follow existing frames (skinned over). Then compare the rear (fabricated?) section. Thicker construction all around. And what's with the radii around the door bottoms? Don't see that on original woodie design. Still beautiful.
  16. 66-70 door glass is curved. 63-65 is flat glass. Not an interchange. A bit of work, but since it is flat glass, a competent long-time auto glass-shop can make a pattern and cut a new one for you. Of course involves new channels,etc. Plus regulator. Easiest way around that is electric window setups from street rod companies.
  17. In Chris' junkyard shots, I see a '37 Studebaker hood resting atop something else.
  18. He posts here as "studeq" He is an award winning author. Has more Studebaker memorabilia than anyone. He'll have to tell you how many photos he has...
  19. I would say demand in US has never been higher for this type vehicle. RHD? Certainly legal here. May limit the market somewhat, but not a deal killer. Might try Hemmings Motor News.
  20. For you to do this,(purchase and restoration) you must have a very strong appeal for this car. Because once you get in to the drudgery of some aspects of the restoration (rust removal on the frame, etc.) it is too easy to quit without the drive of passion. They we have another stalled project sitting in pieces. So did you just happen to stumble upon this? When you say you "have a chance to buy this," sure you do---but in reality you have a chance to buy any car that is advertised up for sale. You just have to look where they're advertised. There are many just on this site.
  21. Yes, specifically 1947-1949 Studebaker clock hole cover. IE: If you didn't pony up the money for a clock the car came with this. A nice design.
  22. Once again a lousy job of promotion by the estate sale company! Vehicles are being sold Friday morning at 10AM. Listing has been up for less than a week. I know of no other place they have advertised this sale. https://beethovensestates.net/?page=upcomingsales
  23. As mentioned before...Richard Quinn is your man for this question. Surprised he hasn't appeared yet. Although chances are better of him seeing this if it had been in the Studebaker Forum section.
