Stude_Opel Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hello all I started new project, Studebaker President ES sedan 1927. Car imported to Hanko Finland in february 1927 and was sold in March to taxi driver Guy Augustsson. Importer was Korpivaara & Halla (Toyota Finland today) and price was 120000 fmk. T- Ford tuoring paid 27400 fmk at the same time. Guy drive by Studebaker to year 1954, but car is out of use 1940 -1947 because of the war. In the sixties he sold car to young man, who started the restoration, but only dismantled the car. I bought this Studebaker April 2021. It was stil on parts, but i found almost all. I need some parts for my car, can anybody help me? - Instrument cluster with six holes (see picture) -Door opening knobs and window regulators (picture) -Ball & Ball SV33 float chamber lid (picture) -Stop lamp glass lens (lamp with "Studebaker Stop" script) -Grease hub caps (pictures) -Six 0,020' (or larger) oversitze pistons and rings -New crankshaft main bearrings -Front bumber (Biflex) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbk Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Sorry to see that you had so few responses. I belief that our Covid lockdown and the Christmas season with it's cold weather has something to do with this.I know that FINLAND get cold also. I may be able to help you with some parts but I shut down for the winter because it cost more to heat my warehouse than I sell on parts. Rest assured that somewhere you can find the parts you need and people will get answers for your questions . It looks like you instrument cluster is complete ,Why are you looking for another one? The door opening knobs have been reproduced and I have a pair but they have not been plated yet. I have a engine core that need rebuilding from a model EW that is as far as I know the same engine. The Big six engine parts maybe hard to find but I know several Studebaker owners that frequent these pages have rebuilt these engines and can give you advice. Have a Wonderfull Christmas and when it warms up in the spring give me a reminder.

Stude_Opel Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Yes, here is cold and dark. Not very cold, but VERY dark. The door opening knobs sounds good! If i don't find good window cranks, i make new ones. Orginal zink cast parts is wery poor condition but here is brass founder, who can make casting works for me. https://iloinenvaskiseppa.com/ I dont need whole instrument cluster, only green face plate. (Fifth picture). I bought a new fuel gauge body from straight-eight.com, clock is ok, but i bought it to watchmaker for cleaning and oiling. The rest of the gauges i fixed myself. Let's see in the spring, what parts you can find. Merry Christmas and happy new year for all!

rbk Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Sorry but I had a serious setback in my health. I am 85 years old and don't spend enough time in my warehouse. My granddaughter came to help me and I hope to find the small door locks. Are you still looking for the hubcaps 3" opening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbk Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I also have some 1937 Commander 6 pistons that may fit your engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude_Opel Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thanks rbk, bud Commander pistons don't fit to big six engine. I ordered new 0.030 oversitze piston set and complete valve set from Egge. Your door lock knobs and window cranks look a bit different. Thanks anyway!

oldford Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I may have some interior handles you can use. I have attached a photo showing 1 interior window crank with a crack see photo. Maybe it can be used as a pattern. Shown are also interior escutcheons that were extras when I had my ES President, along with door knobs and oval rings. Interior door lock handles also. Not sure if you can use them, but for $50 for all, plus shipping I can send them too you. I also have rather nice pair of headlights from the ES and fans. Used front wheel bearings that are usable if you need them. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
