alsfarms Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Does anyone reading here have production numbers for both series of the 1933 Studebaker Presidents, the 80's and 90's? I am looking at a project and am wondering what the production numbers were, which will affect finding and locating needed parts. Next, how interchangeable are parts between the 1931-32 and 33 Presidents. Al Edited March 29 by alsfarms Clarity (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Al, I'm not an expert. But I believe the production numbers were minuscule. Post a picture please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Only about 10 known. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 What, besides wheelbase, is the differences between the 80 and 90 Presidents? Would the Antique Studebaker Club have actual production numbers for the 1933 Model year? With the chatter about the similarities between the Studebaker President 8 and the Pierce-Arrow 8, do the heads interchange? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 33s are model 92. Dick Quinn has the production numbers. I think less than 400. Pierce heads have a larger combustion chamber and would lower ratio on a president. you're referring to 80 and 90 and they are 31. 91 are 32. What are you looking at? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Here is some information I found scrounging on the internet for the 1933 Studebaker line. Series 56 6 cylinder, 230 CID, total production 6861 Series 73 8 cylinder, 235 CID, total production 3841 Series 82 8 cylinder, 250 CID, total production 1194 Series 92 8 cylinder, 337 CID, total production 635 Of course, we have learned that not all internet information can be taken as gospel, however, this information seems in order. What are the thoughts of this group of Studebaker enthusiasts? The 1933 President project car, I am looking at, is a sedan type. I do not yet know the wheelbase or the CID yet. It is fully unrestored, which is a deterrent with parts missing. If I can get pictures and very specific information, I will share here.

rbk Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 There are many differences I have an engine and intake/exhaust manifold for a 1933 8 cylinder. Robert Kapteyn I am not yet going to my warehouse after my surgery 815-212-2389 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Here is the 33 president I had. Of the ones known, 1 coupe, 1 convertible sedan, 2 convertible coupes, and 6 sedans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 (edited) That is a nice Studebaker. It certainly looks like a Model 92, with a long wheel-base. Do you know how many of the series 82 Presidents still exist? I am thinking that the project car, I am looking at, is a Model 82 with a short wheel-base.

alsfarms Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 On this same subject, which is the more common wheel type, wire or artillery for the model year 1933? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Here is another Studebaker President question. Do the engines interchange between the 1933 President series 82 and 92? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studerex Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 no. completely different blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The series 82 President used the 250 cu in straight 8 while the series 92 used the 337 cu in engine. The big engine is about 4 inches longer. The 250 cu in block looks the same up to 1937; after that the water pump was moved from the side to the front of the engine through 1942, but internal parts are mostly the same. The frame pieces and engine mounts are different between models 82 and 92. Switching between engines would not be simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
