Hi Dave
I have what I think is a body to a 1927 erskine but missing a lot like the doors, trunk lid, fire wall, pretty much just old rusty cab. Any idea how to tell what year this body is and do you have more pics on how you built body panels?
Thanks shaun

Hi Shaun

I have a 1930 Erskine 5 window coupe. I started with a body and a frame. No suspension, motor, tranny or rear end. The body was complete, but rusty in some areas and the frame was repairable. I have made a studebaker hot rod out of mine. It has stude motor and rear end with S10 5 speed manual tranny.
I made my patch panels and roof at metal meets that we have locally. I started on mine in January 2009 and it is driveable in primer. Hope to paint it next winter. There is a Erskine registry online and I am in the antique studebaker club. The registry has lots of pictures to help identify your car. Do you have the frame? It should have a serial number tag and a stamped serial number. Does your firewall have a body number tag?

You can e-mail at zumrodrs@charter.net and my cell is 507-993-6269. I will be glad to help you anyway I can.

My body needs lots of work, it's missing the firewall, doors, rear trunk lid, and frame. I'm going to build my own frame and I have a dodge 318ci. With auto trans and dodge 8 1/4 rear end. Hope to have frame done this summer then start body next winter when I can't go outside.
Sorry for slow response I get caught up in all my side jobs and forget to look online
