Guest cadet stimpy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I just bought a Studebaker body and frame and the only ID I can find is a metal tag with "54-Q-3" on the firewall. I think it might be an Erskine. I don't know how to post pictures but I will email anyone interested.Also where can I find the serial number?Thanks guysMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrose Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Mike,What you have is a 1931 Model 54 Studebaker Standard Six. The Erskine name was dropped in 1930. The Q indocates that it is a coupe, and the 3 indicates the level of trim. There should be a serial number plate on the drivers side of the frame under the front fender.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cadet stimpy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Thank you very much Joel! I had one other question I didn't think about till now...I've built a 1931 chevrolet frame and noticed that the frame I got with the Studebaker is VERY similar. The biggest difference being the rear cross member over the gas tank. Other than that I've found the spring perches, rail length, bumper mounts are identical. Was there a common producer for these frames?Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antiquecarbuyer Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hello Mike, I have a 1931 Model 54 Studebaker. I am not sure about frame sharing. What are your intentions for the Studebaker? Thanks, Lewis. antiquecarbuyer@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
