? 1936 Studebaker body

[Frank Wilkie]

I'm not familiar with the construction of the 1936 Studebaker President body..  Where they all steel or did they have a wood frame in the body and doors?

The 36's have all steel doors, steel body,   the floor under the front seat was wood and wood used on the lower area of firewall.

Thank you M5studie..  I'm looking at a 36 President but I've had no experience with the 36 Studebaker era in their performance , dependability, ect...  This one has the hill holder which I don't know if that's good or bad..

The hill holder is a nice device if you have a lot of hills you need to stop on. It’s a ball that keeps brake fluid from refitting the master cylinder after stepping on the brakes. Basically the car won’t roll backwards when you take your foot off the brake pedal. Allowing you to use one foot on the clutch and one on the gas. It releases when you engage the clutch. Over simplified explanation but it works and not all cars have them. My has one but it’s mostly flat around here. It would not make me buy the car or not but it.
