If you have your old starter why not just get it rebuilt? If you don't have a local auto electric A-G-S service you can send it out. http://special-interest-autos.com/

It's not one Bob Johnstone has listed on his exhaustive record. If you come up with anything, do share it with him. http://studebaker-info.org/Dealers/CAdealers.html

Not mine but, just saw this in the Studebaker Drivers Club Forum and passing it along. 8/29/2018 http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?107589-BIG-6-NOS-block-surfaced-in-Europe!-RUSH!

Have you checked online sources? http://www.oldcarlenses.com/ http://classiccarlightings.com/store/auto-headlamp-lens http://www.jwwerner.com/cars/HeadlightsandLenses.html http://www.campbellriversales.com/lenses1.htm

It was built on the Avanti platform; quite its own animal. And, yes; posting on the SDC Forum should supply a host of sources for the glass. http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/

Studebaker may have used a couple of visor suppliers. The OEM visor on my '51 is a single piece of fiberglass with no center support rod, and quite stable in the wind. I don't know if my photos will help but you can see how it's attached.

It's also rare to find an original unrestored 85-year-old that still has its paint code sticker. Yes, it was lacquer. ?

Jörg , I am of the opinion the larger all-Studebaker Swap Meets are worth attending even if no parts are needed or found. The accumulated experience and knowledge of those in attendance is palpable. As far as parts for the Rockne, there will probably be some there, but will require some sleuthing and asking. Obviously the huge majority will be for post-war vehicles, but there's always a bit of everything. And, if nothing else, a whole bunch of new folks to meet and greet, as well as the pilgrimage to South Bend. And you could also visit Knute Rockne's grave. https://magazine.nd.edu/news/in-search-of-rockne-s-grave/

For what it's worth; though the engine castings are the same, the displacements were changed between 1932 and 1936; and the cam for the Dictators and Coupe Expresses have a different part number than those for the Rockne Six. And note! The only resemblance the Rockne 75 (41) has to the Rockne 65 or 10 (31 & 41) is the name emblem

They actually had great V-8's in to the sixties but, it's the general consensus in the Studebaker world that the 170 Champion Six is much preferred with a standard transmission, preferably with overdrive if it's to be used on the open road.

Ernie Loga was making them for the rear spare on the Rocknes. I would suspect he might have patterns for the side deluxe mounts as well. Worth checking.

George indicates his computer prevents him from a current response but the pistons turn out to be 1929 Commander 8 Model FD, with 250.4 cid.

And, just for clarity, the "Commander Six" is not the "Big Six." Two immensely different engines. I believe the "Big Six", with 241.6 cid, production ended sometime around 1929-30; while what is referred to as the "Commander Six" made its debut in the 1932 Rockne "65" at 189.8 cid, and lasted in to 1961 at 245 cid.
