Pictures herein of 1939 cars are for illustration only - Selling the Grille Guard pictured. Not often available! - Studebaker 1939 Front Grille Guard fits Commander & President. This unit was taken off a 1939 Commander being renovated. I did not remove it. All parts that came to me are included. I had a hard time locating pictures and info. Could be called rare. $175 plus shipping. See below for phone contact info. The stanchions are 10±” inches tall. The chrome cross bars, (not dented or bent) are 26±” and 28±” inches long. Overall condition XLNT. Very few small scratches or pitting. PARTS: There are 2 stanchions, 2 horizontal bars, 4 stainless capped bumper bolts, washers and castle nuts. Lastly, 3 small custom bolts/nuts with flat tops; expect a standard bolt can be ground off on top to fit the needed 4th bolt. Pretty sure these are all the parts; except the one missing small custom bolt/nut previously mentioned. Research came up with a picture of the bumper guard on the cover of SDC’s Turning Wheels magazine, October 1990. Internet research brought another nice picture of a 1939 that displays the guard. Note: This Guard probably saved its grill from expensive damage. Note in the pictures that the stanchions are both bent. These will need straightening and expect to have them re-chromed so they will dazzle on your 1939 Studebaker. I was not able to locate a part number; I only have the 1934-1946 Chassis Parts catalogue. If you locate the part number send it to me and I will get it added it to this description. “Make Studebaker Great Again”. =============================== Contact Henry Votel, Quonset Studebaker, six-5-one, four-2-six, one-6-one-zero.

Probably $200 for all. I haven't acquired then yet as I don't need any more inventory; especially if unknown to what they fit. More questions? Give a ring. Henry Votel QUONSET STUDEBAKER 651-426-1610

Hi All. Posted originally on March 17, 2023 and a few appreciated replies about possible years and possible numbers stamped on them. Checking further Owner says no numbers found so that struck out. Hoping for some new eyeballs and tips to definitely ID them/ Trying to save these 4 real nice fenders from recycling. Does anybody have pictures of similar ones that might compare? Pictures of similar back sides?? Hope all had fun at SDC Meet. All help is appreciated. Henry Votel Quonset Studebaker Forest Lake, MN 651-426-1610

Hoping for a few more opinions on ID'ing these fenders; all thoughts are appreciated. Still Trying to ID on these fenders. Thought I'd drag them by again and maybe some new eyes could comment. Any help appreciated. - Henry Votel, QUONSET STUDEBAKER, Forest Lake, MN __________________________ Greetings all. Recently contacted by a party with a set of 4 fenders that have been held captive in a garage attic for past decades. Generally, they look like 1920’s fenders in the pics. Seller says others say Studebaker. I do not have enough knowledge to identify and hoping members here will be able to ID and/or say. All comments are appreciated. - Henry Votel, QUONSET STUDEBAKER

THANKS for your knowledge and insight into the construction of this trunk. We'll see where it goes from here. SKOL Henry Votel Quonset Studebaker Forest Lake, MN

Thanks SC38dls and Grimy. That all helps. I usually enjoy the researching and help from members here. Best regards Quonset Studebaker Henry M. Votel Forest Lake, MN

Any comments or insight will be appreciated. I suppose if no comments that that would trend toward saying it is not likely for a Studebaker. I can live with that. Quonset Studebaker Henry M. Votel Forest Lake, MN

Greetings. Came across this trunk for sale. Seller says it's a Studebaker Suitcase trunk. Advice appreciated if it is actually a Studebaker accessory? Thanks for comments. Measures: 31" width, 19" height, 18" depth. All ±. QUONSET STUDEBAKER Henry M. Votel Forest Lake, MN

Greetings All. -->>NOT MINE<<--These popped up on my local CL today. Out of my limited area of Studebaker identification. Any opinions on years these were applicable? Opines on any value or usefulness they might have? Price is negligible. Wall hangers? https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/pts/d/saint-paul-wooden-studebaker-wheels/7166214833.html Henry Votel Forest Lake, MN ======================

Hello JRA. I have a Ball & Ball carburetor at eBay currently; only a day or two still listed. Can relist. I am no expert at Pre-war Studebaker parts. Uncertain if a fit so make your own determination. Anyway, thought to bring to your attention. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ball-Ball-Carburetor-1925-Brass-work-of-Art-from-a-Studebaker-Others-xx/254599596454?hash=item3b475189a6:g:JocAAOSwgPhewV-P Best Regards. . . . .

Hi Gary, Examined the original decal here and it measures across 2-1/4" flat side to flat side. It measures 2-3.8" across point to point. The border around the deal of about 1/4" seems to have a light shaded gray over the yellow. Grayish but not overwhelming the yellow. Nice job whipping a prototype up! Henry Votel Forest Lake, MN

Studebaker and FRAM I didn’t know this. Probably many others do. Thought it interesting. In the process of ID’ing some Studebaker Pre-War parts recently I started seeing interesting tidbits about an old odd looking Fram Oil Filter that I was putting at auction. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333548085996 I was curious because this old FRAM Filter had a decal on it showing: Fleming Mfg. Worchester, Mass. So I dug deeper and at the FRAM web site History page I learned the following: “Over 85 years ago, our original chemists, FRederick Franklin and T. Edward AldhAM, invented an easily replaceable oil filtering element at their laboratory in Providence, Rhode Island. Automotive oil filters of various types had been on the market for nearly 10 years, yet were difficult to install, change and clean. So, FRanklin and AldhAM, whose last names were combined to form the company name, set out to solve these problems with their revolutionary filters.” At the FRAM History Events page it stated: “FRAM filters became original equipment on the 1936 Studebakers. Also in 1936: FRAM introduces the F4, the first FRAM oil filter with single-bolt cover-seal construction.” The web site told about the 1st FRAM Company slogan “THE DIP STICK TELLS THE STORY - LOOK AT IT”. There it is right on the decal label pictured of this old filter. So, there it was mention of Studebaker in 1936 as the first FRAM original equipment filter and info about when the very familiar single bolt filter we all know was invented. Reading this kind of information clinched it for me that this odd looking FRAM oil filter had to be among the earliest FRAM stye filters. I am concluding it is the original style and design used on 1936 Studebaker engines. Opinions appreciated.
