1929 Studebaker Commander 8 FDT

[Binkss]

Can any one please help with a source for the following items for a 1929 Commander 8 FDT

 

1).Half round chrome trim, fitted up the sides and over the top of the 1929 era Studebaker Commander and President Cars.

 

We have a 1929 Commander 8 FDT , been stored in a barn for some 15 to 20 years. The chrome trim has rusted quite badly, the rust is too deep to polish out. Is any one still making it.

 

2). Delco Remy Lovejoy shock absorbers for the front :-

 

Looking for either two front shocks or can some one please advise the Delco Remy part numbers. Originals were replace with Armstrongs. 

 

3). Windscreen frame:-

Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum. I have moved your post to the Studebaker forum. Hopefully someone here will be able to help you.

Photos would help.

I presume the car is the one in your avatar?  I guess FDT is four door touring?  The band you are looking for is I think what is commonly known as a cowl band or a surcingle (an old equestrian term). You may find you will have to make the metal parts.

I think you are started in the right direction.

Using this forum to obtain  parts was useful  for me when I started to restore my 1929 Commander. I also join the Antique Studebaker club and meet some great owners of 29 commanders and I placed wanted ads in the magazine.

Yes, please post a photo of your car.

I have a windscreen for a 1927 Dictator touring car.

and possible a cowl band.

It might fit.
