17 Studebaker

Recommended Posts

My 1913 Studebaker just has a leather belt sewn together at the joint with some leather string like a moccasin. It is looking pretty ragged but it works. I doubt it is original, but who knows? It's been on there since the early 60s for sure and no telling how long before that.

 

Clipper belt lacing might be a possibility.

 

Some guys use serpentine belts. No belt joint. OK for touring, not so great for shows.
