If I turn the lock cylinder (key inserted) past the lock position, the cylinder will come out. I don’t know if that is the way it is suppose to come out. I would probably soak it well with Blaster or something like that first, and try it. Thanks.

Eddie: I understand your love for the 12. However, if it cost me $25000 to do an eight 10-12 years ago, what does it cost to do a 12? $50000?

I believe the areas shown in brass in the photo should be chrome. For sure the later ones with the arrow are chrome. I know I had a used round one some time ago and it was chrome, but who knows if it was original. However, it appeared to be original Bob Sands will know.

I have just been through this. A friend of mine is missing the locks on an otherwise nicely restored 31 model 43. I went on the Studebaker driver’s club forum, requested them here, and to the best of my knowledge there are none around. Someone should make these again.

The core in the oil cooler failed on my ’36 many years ago. My clue was that the coolant in the radiator looked like chocolate milk. A radiator shop pressure tested the core, the leak was there. They solder repaired it, and it remained working until John Cislak did they engine. At that time he put in a bypass, and everything is fine without the cooler..

truly enjoyed reading your link.

I could not make this link work

It sure sounds that way Terry. I think Lee Garoyan won it before? This is good feedback. Ten years probably isn’t enough time to compete again, but I am sure the judging committee can use this info to help embellish our policy of awarding the Weis trophy.

It is the same car, as the auction house mentions it coming from Harrahs. I recall the paint being very bright, this was a nice car. I don’t know about the green interior.

I even remember what it sold for! Around $35000

I can’t or don’t know how the link works. If it is the car I think it is, I saw it sold at the last or one of the last Harrah’s auction in 1986 (or so) Is it a real bright green?

Greg: I have just put in the clutch when disengaging the overdrive unit, then pulling out the lever. I never heard any bad noises or grinds?

You must push in the free wheeling lever. Above 45 mph, remove foot from accelerator, car will shift into overdrive.

Optima definitely. My latest and greatest Optima story was the 12V Optima in my ’58 Cad Convert. I believe it had been in there for 15 years or better. Still would be, but some dummy broke the neg terminal by pounding on a cutoff. Name of dummy being withheld for embarrassment reasons.

We have spoken of this many times. Have an accomplished big truck shop align the front end to specs. Problem will go away (it did in my case for sure)

I really think Eddie that you are over reacting to stock wheels. My 1931 Model 42 convertible coupe was delivered to me from Long Island the day before the Pierce meet in Sturbridge, Ma. in the summer of 1984. My friend that sold me the car delivered it to me, having driven the car from Long Island on the New York thruway. The following day I drove the car to Sturbridge (car had wire wheels and thirty year old Martin 7 ply tires). There were no incidents on either trip related to wheels or tires. The spokes and rims after 50 plus years didn’t look the best. I sent them to Dayton Wire wheel, and much like Bill Rolapp, had them respoked with stainless steel, and the rest of the wheels refinished,also the split rings were replated.. When I sold the car two years ago, and 30 years after the work was done, the wheels were still fine. These cars were built at a time when roads were no where as good as they are today. The Pierce engineers appeared to have done a good job on the wheels.

Sometime the heading on a friend’s email will be a clue. Usually, Hi there! or another salutation you aren’t use to seeing
