Nothing older than 1930 in the used car lot, except maybe the Lincoln L town car in the back past the fence. No self respecting hollywood star would be driven around in something that old!

nzcarnerd Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 4 hours ago, 30DodgePanel said: Gorgeous car but I'm not use to seeing pinstriping in those areas. Was that common for Erskine? I am not aware of a factory pinstripe option for the Erskine. It wasn't the big seller Studebaker hoped it might be and I suspect the production of the cabriolet probably only amounted to a few hundred units. There are no surviving records to show one way or the other. Studebaker did offer pinstriping on their cars circa 1928-31 (and maybe later), which usually involved discreet stripes around the belt moulding area, as in this photo of a 1928 car shot in Los Angeles in 1932. From the 5.50 tyre size this car could be either a Dictator or a Commander. The pin stripe colour is also used in the belt panel on this model which was only built for a few months in 1928. The 1929 Erskine didn't have that belt panel, or the belt moulding that connected the hood to the body. The article does mention that wood wheels could be had with pin striping. The factory photo of an Erskine cabriolet shows another pinstriping variation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
