Stude7 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Question, does anyone know who makes a bug screen for the 1937 grilles. Or do I make my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studebaker1965 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 How many would you like? I have probably 1/2 a dozen. I don’t know if they are repros or NOS. I don’t have any of the attaching hardware, but I’d love to know how they were attached. We acquired these from Jerry Kurtz’s collection.

studeboy Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I have a nos bug screen for my 1940 commander with the original attachment hardware and some of the original packaging. I think the same company made it as the 1937. I will look tomorrow. I put it on the car once. I thought it distracted from the style of the car.

Studebaker1965 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Dr. Don, Can you please post a picture? I have 6 or 7 original screens, but want to see the attachment closer. Also, I got your window template. Thank you. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
