The President’s STEERING COLUMN
Don and Joan Andersen came
through and volunteered to host our
June meeting. They were supposed
to host a meeting earlier this year
that got canceled due to many
members attending a memorial service for chapter member Don
Greenlund. The previously scheduled garage tour will now consist of
viewing Don Andersen’s latest projects, as the other proposed stops
were not available due to scheduling conflicts or other issues. The
Andersen’s address is 11406 S.E.
223rd Street, Kent, the date is June
12th and the time is 1 pm. And for
those who attended the Northwest
Overdrive on Vancouver Island, I
look forward to hearing all about
this year’s meet.
In July, our chapter will host the
annual All Studebaker Picnic at
Mud Mountain Dam State Park in
Enumclaw on Sunday, the 10th. In
the past the picnic was scheduled
on a Saturday, but this year it was
moved to a Sunday to attract more
people and more Studebakers. So
get the word out to all your Studebaker, Packard, Pierce-Arrow and
Avanti friends and bring your potluck dish to share and your Studebaker or related car for others to
view starting at High Noon on Sunday, July 10th. As in previous
years, we will be parking on the
grass next to the Chinook shelter.
The May issue of Turning Wheels
contains Greta Justad’s tribute to
our late newsletter editor, Bill
Schiffer. Great Job, Greta!
Well written. It also contained a surprise for me, as
it featured a photo of Bob
Bryant’s Avanti on the
back inside cover. It wasn’t
me, as that Bob Bryant
lives in Connecticut. However the 1963 Avanti was
the same color as the red
1963 Avanti I owned many
years ago and sold to Michael Myer, son of Jon
Myer, after I bought my
1989. I don’t think that it is
the same car, but it might
be.
The Memorial Day weekend marked the unofficial
start of summer. So check
your oil and water and get your Studebaker on the road and enjoy all
the cars events you can. There are
plenty of activities out there to take
advantage of such as cruise ins at
America’s Car Museum , at Colby
in Everett, Greenwood in north Seattle, or at a shopping mall or drivein near you or various car shows
throughout the Seattle-TacomaEverett area. Just enjoy summer
and drive your Studebaker.

Tech Tip from the past
By Bob Bryant
This technical tip is taken from the October 1956 issue of Car Life magazine.
“SOUND DIAGNOSIS: “Play it by ear,” say Studebaker engineers, if you hear strange noises from the transmission of your ’56 Stude.
These noises often tell you what’s wrong; all you need to know is which sound to connect up with which trouble.
With the gearshift in neutral and engine idling, difficulty with the bearing will show up as a distinct hissing noise. In severe cases,
a bump or thud can be heard.
Rough, worn, chipped, or scuffed gears will give themselves away by an intermittent growling or bass hum.
If the transmission and engine assembly are out of alignment, a grinding noise will tell you this condition exists.
So before you tell a mechanic to “take it apart and see what’s what,” listen to the car carefully. You may save some of your money
and the mechanic’s time if you can describe the symptoms and apparent cause of the trouble.”
Note: Although this tech tip doesn’t say, it probably refers to a manual transmission. I would not put the transmission in neutral
(whether it was manual or automatic) unless the wheels were blocked so the car would not move.
