Guest sl8ty2 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Recently rescued this from the scrap iron pile. Not sure of what I have, it's age, or value. Any research links or comments would be appreciated. New to the forum, and have enjoyed the items I have read.vinky@centurytel.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 sl8ty2,Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum. I am curious why you are asking what you have but all of the photos are named as if you know what it is. I know almost nothing about Rauch and Lang electric vehicles. What information do you have about your find which leads you to name the photos as you did, and what questions do you have about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 NOT Rauch and Lang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sl8ty2 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 In my research I came upon a photo of an add for Raunch & Lang, and the R in Raunch looked the same as the R on my hub cap. I simply named my photo file Raunch & Lang. I found this site while researching, and came to the experts for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I agree with hddennis. Check out this site:The Antique Studebaker Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Simmons Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Are my eyes deceiving me or is that lower spindle to hub mount tied back to the axle in pictures 3&4. That would make it a home made(?) trailer? I have no guess as to what make the thing was/is as the R names escape me at the moment except for the obvious one and it has always had a double R as it's monogram.

nzcarnerd Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 18" wheels says it's a 1932 Rockne. Rauch and Lang built electric cars for a while but not in the era of 18" wheels - Baker Rauch & Lang, Baker-Raulang, Jacob Rauch & Son, Raulang Body, Rauch & Lang Carriage Co. - Coachbuilt.com Roosevelts used 19" wheels.

keiser31 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I believe that the Roosevelt had a picture of Teddy on it. I agree with the Rockne I.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sl8ty2 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 In photos 3&4 the hub is tied to the axle by a weld on the arm or "tie rod arm?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sl8ty2 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Have made contact with a Rochne expert and now trying to locate a serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Studebakers of this era had the serial number on an aluminium plate riveted to the chassis rail above the front axle on the left side. I reckon it is likely to be long gone. There maybe a couple of small holes where the rivets were.I don't know but I guess this model shared some parts with the contemporary small Studes. The 205 engine in the 75 was first seen in the 1930 Erskine and continued into the '30s in the Stude Dictator.I think this is from a 1932 Rockne Model 65. I think the bigger Model 75 had bigger tyres and the 1933 cars were on 17s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 They would weld the tie rod back to the axle or some other place to build trailers so theywould track straight. Necessity was the mother of invention, I spose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
