A lot of folks like to see what's under the hood of our stock 1950 Studebaker Champion Deluxe. Here's a quick picture of the 85 hp, L-6, single carb, 6 volt, oil bath engine.

A fun extra. We picked up a column mount and morse code-capable flashlight at Vintage Ford in Rancho Cordova, CA yesterday. Here's a picture of the accessory in place.

The Just a Car Guy blog has a great entry highlighting the Texaco-Branded 1935 Diamond T Doodlebug. I bought an ERTL Doodlebug toy bank yesterday at the Sacramento Antique Fair. The banks can also be had on eBay for around $25 or less. Each toy box is individually numbered and the toy is well made. See the Just a Car Guy blog here.

Another great "My Ride" story. "I bought this ride in the fall of 2010 because I wanted to indulge my lifelong passion for everything automotive and because I (and many observers) consider the Studebaker Commander Starliner to be the most beautiful American car of its era. Originally conceived as a concept car by the design studio of Raymond Loewy, the coupe received so much attention that

I've seen Studebaker cars, Studebaker pies, and an effort to revive the Studebaker automobile. Now, I've been given Studebaker pickles! The Oakland company features handmade pickled goods - labels to letterpress to spicy picked epicure foods. Find them at Studebaker Pickles dot com.

Sad to hear about musician Sly Stone's hardship. Hopefully he can create music from this challenging experience and get back into a home, some counseling, and (as he requested) a new paint job for his beloved Studebaker. "Over the years, Stone has dropped tens of thousands of dollars on his other hobby: automobiles. In his early days, he drove a Jaguar XKE he painted purple. There were Hummers,

A great explanation of why "suicide doors" were invented. "These front suicide doors were a common practice from the late 1920s and into the 1930s. My 1931 Hupmobile four-door had these doors, and my dad's 1951 Studebaker Commander had the rear suicide doors." Read the full article here.

We had a great first annual Karel Staple Chapter Valve Cover Race today in Fair Oaks, CA. "Doc Junior" won "Best Boy's Car." I think we had the sympathy vote ... or we won based on the two little helpers I brought with me, ages seven and three.

It's International Drive Your Studebaker Day! It was a beautiful drive to Clarksburg with one frustrating moment of vapor lock that almost got me towed. All in all, a great time out with a great result; "Doc" made it home sans tow, and we met some kind folks in Freeport and Clarksburg to boot.

'Phillip Cole loves his 1952 Studebaker Commander. One good reason: "It's an American car." In fact, he says the design of postwar Studebakers like his was inspired by the P-38 Lightning fighter -- the "fork-tailed devil" that dominated the skies in the Pacific.'Read the full article here.

Great idea: "A Michigan lawmaker has called for classic car drivers to be allowed to use state historical vehicle license plates wherever they drive in August, not just to and from historic or automotive events.""A pole barn on his property houses a 1927 Model T, a 1928 Essex, a 1936 Plymouth and a 1950 Studebaker.

My two favorites: Studebakers and pizza."Young chefs discover the schedule of a brick-and-mortar restaurant is not conducive to new families, so the benefits of a food truck were enticing: low overhead, flexible schedule, mobility, interaction with customers, and oh ... no laws in their town prohibiting it."

I happened upon two impressive photos today. One is of the interior of Studebaker Foundry Building 85 in 2006. The other is of Building 85 in 2007.

Every time he attends a car show or a Studebaker gathering, he brings one of his grandchildren with him. He said it's good for them to get to know cars from the past. It teaches them history."View this story on TBO.com.

Milton Robson Auctions recently auctioned this 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk. It's a beautiful car, and it's nice to see a Stude sell for an amount commensurate with its place in auto history.See more about this Studebaker Golden Hawk here.

This film looks amazing."Shaleece Haas heard her grandfather tell the stories for years. How Milton Cavalli first drove a car, at age 9, in the 1920s. How he worked hard stacking wood to buy a car from an uncle at age 13. How the yellow Studebaker he drove across country, decades later, was mistaken for a cab when Cavalli tried to pick up Haas' grandmother at a hotel in New York.""Haas documented

We drove our 1950 Studebaker Champion to the California Automobile Museum to view the Karel Staple Chapter xmas tree. I must admit to walking up just as they snapped the group picture, and can't take credit for any of the decorating. Anyway, here are a few photographs from the event, including a few photos of a gorgeous 1923 Studebaker Model EL Special Six 5 Passenger Sedan. I'm told that much of

Classic Enterprises and Ernie Loga in one article at the Journal Sentinel website!"Classic Enterprises employs 3.5 workers who stay busy stamping out floor panels, tailgates, rocker panels, body supports, door skins and spare tire wheel wells among many other parts that gear heads need to turn their rusty old Studebaker into a sweet ride.""Studebaker owners are a breed of their own, said Ernie

The Karel Staple Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club met at Vintage Ford of Sacramento today. The store has a great variety of car parts, attractions, toys, models, collectibles, signs, and more - including a '50's diner replica where a simple lunch of hot dogs, pizza, et al is served.

Today, the Karel Staple Chapter of the Studebaker Drivers Club visited Mark Reiff's Gas Station and Museum in Woodland, CA. Reiff's garage is a tourist attraction and museum featuring a 1950's diner, barber shop, gas station, general store, and old-time movie theater. The visit was a great one, despite our driving a Brand X to the meet-up.

Next week, we're doubling up on fuel pumps. We'll leave the electric pump in place as a "starter" and then switch to the mechanical pump once the car is running. Here are a few pics of the new mechanical fuel pump, fuel line, and heat shield (to ward off vapor lock).

Tom and Ray are right about old car dependability, parts hunting, safety, etc. However, the parts hunting, the times when a classic car is running like a clock, the beautiful design, the interaction with interested strangers - all of these factors outweigh the difficulty of maintaining a classic car.My advice to Gary: buy the Versa and the Avanti.Read the full article here.
