Dear Sirs,
I’m just sending you this note to advise that I have a 1915 Studebaker Model
EC six-cylinder five passenger touring car for sale if any of your club
members are interested, although I realize that most interest is probably in
the more attractive and practical models of the 1950s and 1960s.
The car was originally retrieved in 1967 from a property near Tambo in
central western Queensland. It had been stored under a station homestead
until the late 1950s but was then pushed out into a nearby paddock during
renovations to the building. Unfortunately, it then spent a decade in the
open, with obvious deterioration as a result, but has been in dry storage,
albeit largely disassembled, since being brought back to Brisbane.
It remains substantially complete apart from generator/distributor and top,
and disintegrated upholstery. Most body panels are restorable or good enough
to provide patterns where replacement is needed, but the car would require a
total and extensive restoration after such long exposure to the elements,
which would suit a multiskilled and courageous enthusiast but would not be a
project for the faint hearted. Sadly, I number myself among the latter, and
age and ill health has shattered any illusions I may have had of eventually
taking it on as a retirement project. Original owner’s manual, parts
catalogue and sales brochures are included. Attachments show the car during
recovery in 1967.
The price is $4000, the car is located at southside Brisbane, and I’m happy
to provide further details or arrange inspection if there is any interest. I
can be contacted by email at arcadia45@bigpond.com or by message.

Kind Regards,
Dennis Neilsen
