George, that's the old web site owned by Rick Peterson, though I suspect he still monitors it to an extent, and the links work. He is still webmaster of the new ASC owned web site. Just eliminate the word "the" and change the dot com to dot org. https://antiquestudebakerclub.org/

Herman, That looks nothing like the tail light connector in my own all original Rockne assembled in the USA. I do know models shipped to Europe were partially disassembled for shipment, and did not include many pieces that were required to be procured from European manufacturers. These included all the lighting. I suspect your tail light connector was a Dutch or German pre-war product.

Part number REC876080 Tested it on the stove; opened at 150 F. $34.90 USD plus postage https://www.poseidonmarine.eu/

I ordered one as well, Herman; though I ordered in the U.S.A. it arrived from Bulgaria. Thank you for this topic conversation.

I got a set years ago from George Rohrbach and saved the box. The label indicates the King Bolt Set No. 197 fits '32-'33 Rockne, '34-'39 Studebaker and '37-'39 Studebaker Truck Appears to be from Andrews Parts Mfg. Co. of New York, NY. probably defunct.

Herman, it CAN be confusing. The 1932 Rockne 65 is identified in the Parts Catalogs as Studebaker model 30. Same car. The 1933 Rockne 10 is identified in the Parts Catalogs as Studebaker model 31. Same car. The 1932 Rockne 75 is identified in the Parts Catalogs as Studebaker model 41. The '32 '65' and the '33 '10' are identical in practically all aspects, and unique from all other Studebakers. The '32 '75' is basically a Studebaker '55' with Rockne badging.

Original thermostat in the 1932 Rockne 65 and 1933 Rockne 30, per the 1932 Service Manual, was set to start opening when engine temperature reaches 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F. (60C-63C). It's difficult to find a thermostat operating that low today. (If anyone finds one, point me in that direction.) I've heard some folks will drill one, two or three 1/8" holes in a hotter thermostat collar to allow some flow before the valve itself starts to open.

Don't know why this next page gets entered upside down. I've flipped it in my PC and it still posts upside down. 😪

Parts with application from the 1940 Body Catalog.

They were reliable enough in their day. Properly maintained, no reason to not be reliable today but, as The 55er said, be prepared to do a lot of your own maintenance. It's getting difficult to find mechanics who are willing to work on vehicles they can't plug in to a computer to diagnose.

Might check with John Cislak at Classic Auto Restoration. Those Strombergs are his specialty. (413) 543-9017

If Gerry is selling it, why "ask for Pete?" I wouldn't be separating that money from my wallet without flying in to see the car and speak with the owner.

You will probably get a lot more traffic on the SDC Forum. You do need to register to post, but need not be a member of SDC. It also has a search feature to retrieve prior threads. You can also always ask your quest in a search engine of your choice (Google, Duckduckgo, Chrome, etc), and probably get directed to a prior forum post. https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/

Parked, indoors, dry conditions? Photos would be an immense help. I can guarantee your brake master and wheel cylinders will still be good. 🤣 (cable linkage mechanical brakes) Engine and clutch will probably both be froze. Mine ('33) was parked in a garage for 31 years when I bought it, and I was able to break the engine, after a couple months of Marvel Mystery Oil cylinder saturation, and clutch free by just dragging it around the block. That was 32 years ago, and it still only uses a quart of oil between changes. DO NOT EXPECT SIMILAR RESULTS.

Dale, I considered responding to your question about the fender welt but, my personal experience is only with my '33 Rockne, and there is only welt between the body and the rear fenders; none at the front. Thing is, that may not apply to the much higher model from five years prior, so it's basically useless information.

If you are a member of the ASC the club roster lists most of the vehicles owned by members.

I assume you have also listed this on the Studebaker Drivers Club Forum, where all the post war fanatics hold court. https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/sale-want-found-cars

Now that I think more about it, $75 was what they charged to rebuild my 6-volt wiper motor. I honestly don't remember the cost on the coil.
