Fortunately, all he destroyed was how it looked. It can be repainted. It wasn't too gorgeous painted this way, either. The high contrast two-tone does it no favors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 A few more for those who gaze upon the images here. Your comments regarding what you see to add to the history is always welcome! 1) 1938 Nash chassis with a fellow from the Navy - factory PR photo is about the increased riding comfort and greater driving safety regarding the shock absorbers. 2)1919 Oshkosh four wheel drive truck pulling a "see ment" mixer. Can anyone give us a clue as to location? 3) 1911 Simplex with NJ license plates. 4) Rolls-Royce Phantom II with 1933 Mass. license plates. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig The DUAL TRIM STRIPS, lack of trailing support separating the wind wing from the driver's window, overall shape, and no running board, along with rubber shield on leading edge of rear fender, tend to make this a 1941 Studebaker Champion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Duesenberg tour right now..........but yes, I will confess that I am currently the guy who cleans the dirt off the bottom of the car when it’s driven through puddles. We regularly drive it. If a fantastic machine, and I have been lucky enough to help show it at Villa d’Est in Italy. Driving it extensively around the Italian Alps was, quite simply one of the highlights of my working career.

LCK81403 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Makes my knees ache in sympathy for the rider in this photo.

nzcarnerd Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A couple of photos posted on a local facebook page by the then owner of the 1930 Talbot 90. He sold it 36 years ago so the photos probably date from the early 1980s. They are not 'period' but do show some local scenery, and 'camaraderie' amongst old car owners. The other car is a 1924 Vauxhall 30-98 Wensum tourer. The owner passed away a few years ago but his wife is now in her 90s and the little guy in the back seat has the car now - currently awaiting a rebuild. The third photo I added to show how the Vauxhall owner drove his car hard. It was taken at a hillclimb in Dunedin in January 1984 - taken by my then girlfriend - later wife - as I was competing in the event myself. The primary reason for the loss of traction was the 'bovine guano' on the road - 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a Light Six. Studebaker hadn't used that model name since 1924. It has the same radiator and headlights as my 1929 - 1928 built - Dictator third series Model GE. In this part of the world this model was sold as a Director but I still consider it a Dictator. That photo is from June 2020 during the 400 mile drive home after we bought it. Why drive it home? Because our two vehicles and trailers were full of the spare parts car and engines and other parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
