BrianBuckley Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hello everyone...I am new to Studebakers having just purchased a 1935 President. The car is in truly amazing original condition incuding the interior. It is optioned with dual horns, a four spoke banjo steering wheel, a radio...etc. It is missing a few items and I could use your help in finding and acquiring them. The flying lady hood ornament is present but the radiator cap she mounts to is missing...anyone have any thoughts? Also, the banjo steering wheel is missing the connection parts behind the horn cap to activate the horns. I would also like to find an extra hub cap if anyone knows of one and if a pair of rear fender skirts should they happen to be out there somewhere...I would be interested in purchasing them. Thanks and any help at all would be appreciated. Oh...one more thing...the car runs very well but the brakes are not in working order (I guess that is what happens if you sit for 40 years)...any thoughts on that note would also be most appreciated. Brian...530-723-2145. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldmoparguy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I just sold a hub cap for your car on EBay- in fact you may be the one who bought it. I have a hood, rather radiator cap and ornament for a 33 Studebaker and an extra cap that goes under the ornament. May be the same cap as you need. If you like I will send you a picture of it. r40gto@q.com I had one 31 Commander and two 35 Commanders, a coupe and a sedan. Sold them long ago. I am looking for a single Jumbo General 14" wheel if you should know of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeq Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The mascot used on the '35 President was unique to that year and model (as were the hub caps). That means they were not interchangeable with any other cars. The mascots have been reproduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldmoparguy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I see the mascot does not have a separate cap under the mascot like the 33. The hub cap I sold was a 35 President. Really neat cars. Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studeq Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You guys can be cruel! In any event my girl Jenny with the '31 President above....believe she has aged quite well don't you??!! And remember "envy" is one of the seven deadly sins (and so is lust!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbstude Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Mr. Q., she is far too young for you. I think she'd be a better fit for someone my age! (22) But if it takes a Studebaker President to impress her, maybe she'll like my '57 model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
