There is no reason the clips may not be reused, unless they have lost their tension. Removal usually destroys the cardboard, not the clips.

The hubcaps in both pics look same/similar, which should make it an Olds.

The quoted article was from the Hemmings Daily report. I read it and was left with the conclusion it is long on ideas and short on a viable plan. They want to make a green economical car, but their 1st endeavor will be something with a Studebaker name on it that will retail for $120K!! Nor was I impressed with the parts to be made in China bit.

I know that 12,212 Dynamic 88 convertible cars were built in 19 and 62. I am fortunate enough to own one of them!
What I am trying to get a handle on is how many of the original 12,212 are still around today?
If you have one, do stand up and be counted. The following info will be of help and interest (info on mine is given) -
Plant Manufactured: Lansing
Selling Dealer State: Illinois
Original Purchaser State: Indiana
Current Location: Wisconsin
Carb: 2 bbl
Color: Ebony (Black)
Interior: Gray & White
Odometer Current: 35,584 (Actual)

She sure does not look like a basket case now!

You say the "items are mainly gauge lables." Would these be small, light in weight, paper/plastic items? What other items might there be?
I am in WI, and if Floyd is willing to send me the items in the mail, I could acquire them and then send them on to you in Australia.

Charles is spot on. The '58 transportable was also the in-dash radio.

I tried contacting that outfit a few years back, without success. Think it is gone from the scene. Too bad.
-
Do they have a certain name or better yet anyone have a good one?
As I was reading this msg., the term "whip antenna" immediately came to mind.

The filter element gets cleaned, not changed.

A fastback. The rear window does not move when the trunk is opened = fastback.

Would they be Allen Edmonds?So I now have a couple of good pairs of shoes, made in USA, that can be re-soled by a local shoe repair or sent back to the factory to be "remanufactured". Seems like it is actually cheaper in the long run than buying throw away shoes. -
Got it now. Know exactly what you are talking about. Thanks! I appreciate it. Helps me alot.

Where is, how does one find the bowl vent on a Rochester carb. Aybody have a pic? How does one fill the float bowl this way?We suggest whenever installing a carburetor to fill the carburetor through the bowl vent to minimize issues such as the sticking needle.Jon.

Have seen the commercial. They do with very careful driving!

Pray tell, what is that red arrowish looking device on the gear shift lever?
-
The last hubcap, dog dish, is for a 1963'ish Oldsmbile F-85, me thinks?
-
Hard to read but looks like its marked 'August 1954' and a part number might be 1582555.
I would never challenge anyone on what they say, question maybe, but challenge no.
In this instance I indeed do have a question. Where does one see/find 'August 1954' or Part No. '1582555' in the pic attached to the post? I sure do not see it, but I am an ol' codger!

Better watch out, Lou C. will steal this pic, as it has a Caddy in the background!

Not unusual these days to block off heat passage to prevent ethanol laced gas from boiling.

Jim,
Your comments make a lot of sense. Plus, B-O-P has been affiliated in a lot of aspects over the years. Seems like a natural fit. I certainly would not be offended by having a Buick or Pontiac parked next to my Olds.

On a related topic, I am having trouble wrapping my head around the logistics for the 2012 OCA Nat in Des Moines, IA. No host hotel (3 separate places of lodging) and not being able to drive my car in the evenings.
How are folks supposed to be able to get together when scattered hither & yon without any means of transportation, I wonder?

Great post. Nice to see a youngster interested in "old iron," be it for either the road or the field!

I second the semaphore turn signal bezel id myself?
NOS Studebaker? Script name plate
in What is it?
Posted
The quality of the plating is not great which makes me wonder as Studebaker had surprisingly nice chrome quality.
And Packard did not? Surprising!
