This Studebaker was mentioned in another thread, so I thought I'd add it to the list. With comments thanks to Dictator27:
"I have known this car since 1966 and have driven it on a number of occasions. It is currently in the City of Surrey museum in Surrey, British Columbia. It is a model SF4 7 passenger and is incorrectly dated as 1916. It is actually a 1917 model. The only difference is the 1917 passenger front seat is reversible so it can face the rear seat. It was used as a stage from the Blue Funnel Line dock in New Westminster BC to the community of Haney (a distance of about 25 miles), twice daily until 1927 when it was sold. The engine was used to power a saw mill in Haney until the early 1960's, when it was restored.
In the 60s, it was Bart Nygard's car. He sold it to Bob Donaldson. Bob later sold it to the British Columbia Transportation Museum. When that was dismantled it was given to the city of Surrey along with a 1929 model A touring. The A was sold and the Studebaker was put in the old Surrey museum on the Cloverdale Fair Grounds. While it was there I drove it on several occasions. During summer months it was often kept at the historic Stewart farmhouse on Crescent Road. The picture shows the car as it is today. When the new museum was built, the car was put on the second floor. There is no way to drive it out. It has been there since 2005.
I will add that as long as the car was in the old museum, the curator was a fellow named Lynn Safrey. He strongly supported keeping the car mobile. As long as he was there the car got reasonably regular use. Unfortunately, he was in the minority."
My own experience with this car was in 1967. I was 11 and the family was participating in the Centennial Tour around British Columbia in our 1927 Auburn. One day I got a chance to ride with Bart Nygard in the Studebaker and it was my first experience in anything close to a "Horseless Carriage." I was awestruck with the feeling of sitting up high in an open car, in a tufted seat that felt more like a sofa than a car seat. I've often thought back on that experience as being part of the reason I'm a brass-era guy today. - Peter
