Wenche, welcome to the forums, this is a good place to start, you should also pose you question here  http://forums.aaca.org/forum/21-studebaker-erskine-rockne/  the Studebaker guys will be sure to help you.  IMHO (in my humble opinion) the Studebaker guys are the second most active on this page after the Buick guys.  It makes me wish my Grandfather had bought a Buick or a Studebaker.  I once owned a 26 Studebaker, what a great car.   Good luck in your search.

Wenche,  please be assured your english is far, far better than my Norwegian, which is  nonexistent,,,,

I assume you know your Erskine was built by Studebaker, one of the fine old names here, so I'd also suggest you also join one or more of the Studebaker products clubs; the largest, to my limited knowledge, would be the Studebaker Drivers Club, and probably the most likely to have affiliated clubs  on the Continent and/or your area....

Stude had a robust export policy. and the Erskine was apparently more popular in Europe than here, having been introduced in Paris and London...

You're also lucky, in a way---the 1930 Erskiine was, at least partly, a Stude,, sharing it's engine, and at least some front end parts with various 29-32 Stude models, which may make searching for other parts easier...however, I' d be surprised if the dashboard and trim would match...

The  SDC will be able to advise exactly which Stude parts would fit...Good luck in your restoration......

Hello Wenche,

 

I live here in the US and find 70% of my parts on ebay. you should consider the same..................

[Guest Wenche Brubak]

I try on ebay, but I can`t find what I need And my English is not very good I don`t know what I should write to find the parts I`m looking for

Dash instruments are usually amp gauge for battery, speedometer, oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge.  Other items might be ignition switch with a key to start the car and a headlight switch to turn the lights on.

Photos are also a good idea - if you circle on a picture what you need people here should be able to help

Hi Wenche ! Don't worry. You will find the way to find what you need here on AACA forums. And in the process your English will improve quite a bit. It is fun meeting the kind and knowledgable people here who will never give up on helping you , your family and your car. You are particularly fortunate in that our culture here still retains a charming chivalry. The gentlemen still are eager to help the ladies in need. You will see. By the way , with nostalgia , it has been over 50 years since I have seen the name Wenche. She was one of the very nicest , smartest students in one of the high schools I attended. She had a crush on me. ?  Velkommen til AACA !   - Carl 

 

P.S. I think it would be a good idea to also post in Bokmal. This forum has a number of Scandinavian participants who could help with translating and locating parts. eBay certainly could be a problem for you. A totally bilingual Norwegian or Dane might be able to make eBay work for you. Sometimes I wish I could have stayed in Denmark for many of the last 50 years. I would be bilingual by now.  - CC

The Antique Studebaker Club appreciates cars like your

1930 Erskine.  Their website is http://www.theantiquestudebakerclub.com/.

You could put a want-ad in their magazine.

Surely, more than one of their members must have an 

Erskine.  I think that club is the best way to find the

parts you need.  You should join, also;  and maybe write

a Letter to the Editor explaining your situation.  People

will want to help.

 

The Studebaker Drivers' Club also appreciates Studebakers.

However, they tend to focus on later models, such as from

the 1950's and 1960's.  The first club I mentioned is the best.

I have an extra dash instrument cluster from a 1929 Erskine. Don't know if it was the same as 30 or not?  Send me a picture of yours or I can send picture of what I have and see if it will work for you. Also have a few other extra 1929 parts for Erskine, including a radiator and radiator shell with Erskine porcelain ornament. This would cost much to ship there, I am sure.

Here is a photo of a dashboard from "Google Images " which I found when I entered "Studebaker Erskine dashboard". This item apparently sold on ebay, but the photo is on Google. If you go to "Google Images" and type in "Studebaker Erskine dashboard", you will find it.  By doing it this way, you will come across a link to the original ebay listing and additional information.
