The first picture is me in 1974. I had borrowed my friends 1911 White 40hp for a car run. After that I had to have a brass car! The second pic is me working on my 34 Dodge convert. in about 1976. I had just got it. the 3rd pic is the Dodge in 1985 on the set of the movie Natti Gann. Still have the Dodge and it looks the same! The 4th pic is my 12 Oakland 40 that I restored from junk from 1976 to1987. We were on tour in about 2007. The last picture is from this summer. I'm standing in front of my 1914 Premier 6cyl. Big, powerful car. A real hoot to drive. Still have all those cars and maybe a few more! Ken

In the first picture, I'm the tall, good looking young guy in the middle! I'll post a few more current ones later Ken

I thought that may be the case too except the sedans also had 7 leaf springs. My plan is to take the springs out, remove the extra leafs and see what I'm left with. If they were just sagging then maybe I can get them re-arched. I did that years ago to another car I restored. Last resort will be new springs as Keiser31 has suggested. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Ken

Thanks for the info. Your catalog verifies that I should have 7 leafs. I wonder how it ever got so many. Looks like a good winter project to pull the springs and remove the extra leafs. Ken

I bought my roadster last year in restored condition. I'm finding the ride very rough. When I checked out the springs I found the fronts had 10 leafs and the rear had 9. According to the owners manual all models came with 7 leafs all around! What's going on!! I'm wondering if anyone can verify how many leafs should be there. I'm not sure the manual applies to all body styles. Anybody got a CM6 roadster that could check out their springs for me? Thanks Ken

Hi Kelvin The Krit looks great. You should bring out here for our tour next year. You're still welcome!! Ken

Not sure if the oil gauge is the same for the 6 cyl but I need a good one for my CM6. Here's a picture I'll be attending Hershey. Flying out early Monday. Ken

Still looking for this gauge Ken

Nobody in my circles uses bitcoin. I've never seen anybody selling on this site saying bitcoin payment is fine. It's a red flag to me. Ken

I need to see the tape on all 3 dimensions Of course I never heard back Ken

That would be great Thanks Ken

My oil gauge has started to leak. I sent it out for repair but they say it's not repairable. Poracity in the metal. So I'm hoping somebody has a spare. I'll be attending Hershey and could pick up there. Ken

309 cu inch six cyl motor. Inlet into carb is approximately 2 5/8 inches. Carb model is a UX 4 Stromberg. Thanks Ken

I've measured up the tank in my car and discovered it's the same dimensions as the tank in my 34 Dodge. Tanks Inc make the Dodge tanks. They are $265 in steel. The only unknown at the moment is how close the filler tube lines up. I called them and the sedan tank filler appears to be in the same spot as my Chrysler. The sending unit is in a different location but that isn't going to be an issue. I've ordered a tank so we'll find out if it will work. They are in stock at Tanks Inc. Ken

I bought a very nice roadster last year. It's 95% restored. Unfortunately the gas tank was coated years ago and now the coating coming off and plugging up the gas line. Does anyone know of any reproduction tanks available? I don't think it can successfully cleaned out. Or does anybody have a good source on getting a tank made? thanks Ken

Love those Studebakers! Fabulous looking body styles. Ken

1914 Premier and 1931 Chrysler

Dave Proctor's Reo is a 10 not a 12. Definitely not the same car. Dave's car was found and restored by Buck Rogers probably back in the late 60's-early 70's. When Dave got it he gave it a much better restoration. Ken

The picture is of a M3 carb but the text says Model G??? What's going on.... Ken

For my 31 CM6 I bought the clutch and brake pedal covers from Steele Rubber. They are an excellent reproduction. Maybe the same part for 32. Ken

Bill Do you have a CM6 owners manual? Lots of good info in there. Ken

This is a pretty lonely site so I thought I'd make a post. I've had my Premier now for about a year and a half. I'm really enjoying the big powerful car feel that it has. I've put about 700 miles on it and it just keeps getting better to drive. Did a 50 mile run for lunch today and it never missed a beat. The wire wheels are now cream instead of brown which really helps the look. Booked into the 800 mile Pathfinders Tour in June and a few more 300 mile tours over the summer. It's going to be a good year! Ken

Try the Horseless Carriage Specialty Shoppe. They have made special wheel bolts for our Stanley at a very reasonable price. the quality was very good Ken

Thanks Carl. Steve Hammatt and I are good friends. He's helped me move parts around before. If I can't get the tires from Florida to Bakersfield then I'll ask Steve to move them at Hershey time. I'd just like to have them for the summer touring season. Although I can manage with the.old tires if need be. Thanks for all the ideas Ken
