No one ask me but had they done so I would have told them that the actual photo at the head of this thread was taken from the last page of the 32-page Studebaker Big and Special Six prestige catalog and that the car is a 1920 Big Six model EG touring. Images attached will confirm that specific identification.

As mentioned by nzcarnerd the car is a 1925 Standard Six (model ER) with a coupe body. Two-year model run for the ER with changes in the radiator shell and visor being the only identifying characteristic denoting the difference in the 1925 and '26. See attachment for more specific information. Have much more.

That is the later style visor used on the 1926 Standard Six model ER cars. As has been noted it is a Duplex Phaeton body introduced in August 1924 and available on all Big (EP) Special (EQ) and Standard Six chassis. Made thru early '27, it was a very popular body style for the time and a very good seller. The first true production "hardtop" (i.e. no "B" pillar).

That would be a Wagner distributor correct for the 1927 Studebaker Dictator Six model EU.

Car is Light Six model EH that was made between 1919 and 1921 with only a few minor changes during those years. It was the first Studebaker to be built and assembled in South Bend and the first to have bodies built in the new body plant (building 84 that still stands). Prior to that all Studebaker cars had been built in Detroit. Another phot attached. Have many more photos plus complete specs etc.

Yes, the car is a Commander. Have just about every piece of literature Studebaker ever issued on it including the prestige color catalog attached, service information, factory publicity photos, tune up data and more. Attaching a photo of an identical car belonging to Paul Wichterman in Pennsylvania along with other pertinent data. Incidentally the tail light on the car is not correct, it should be oval. Also the rear bumper should be full width, those bumperettes are for a rear mounted spare car.

The serial number is correct for a 1936 President Eight. Just sold one in November.

I might add that there is a larger bird specially made by Don Summers as a reproduction in recent times but this larger version was never offered by Studebaker.

@studeqwhat is the difference between this one and the 34 rad cap? Size?
I have 6 or 7 at home, none of them in spectacular shape. I want to make sure all of mine are actually 34s if there is a difference.
The birds are all identical just the caps are different, 1931-33 are 5", 34's are smaller.

Thanks for posting. Had to run and check my display case, thought it was one of mine! A minor but significant point: It is a radiator cap and mascot. Not a hood ornament since it does not fit on the hood.

My last roster from 20 years ago showed 13. I am guessing however that most of those cars have gone to new owners.

Incidentally the casting number E-12-9 would indicate your car's engine ENGINE block was cast on December 9, 1925. So your car was probably assembled within 30 days after that. Serial number range was 2060001 to 2102300; engine number range EP-1 TO EP-48050.

One satisfied customer? Rick Peterson editor of the Antique Studebaker Review! Thanks Rick.

Just finished reprinting a 1922 Big and Special Six 64 page owner’s manual for a new owner in California. I noted in the pouch in the back cover with the oiling chart was this 4-page folder on the Stromberg LS-2 carburetor so decided to reprint a copy of it as well. I believe this carb was used on all the 1921-26 Special Sixes. Occurred to me that there may be someone out there that would like a copy. The reprint is a nice clean copy on four 8.5 X 11” pages, very comprehensive. Price for hard copy snail mailed $10.00 postpaid or emailed for $6.00. Email me direct at rtq11@aol.com. Incidentally I routinely copy owner’s manuals and copies for all years and models back to the Garford and Electrics. Even have one for horse drawn!

No shortage of data on the '32 Dictator. Attaching just some of the items from my files, there is more. Have similar items for all Studebaker years and models.
