TEI #9 - Solved: 1938 Studebaker President by Sodomka

[Tom_I]

Can you identify this car?

A point if you can give the make and model, and the coachbuilder.

There are a lot of rookie puzzles at the moment, so let's throw this one to the experts.

The stopwatch is running.....

Studebaker President by Sodomka?

[Tom_I]

Not a Studebaker.....

OK, hold on for a moment. I've just had a quick look around, and it looks as if my trusted source for this may be wrong. Give me a few minutes and I'll check up on it.

That's 100 percent 1938 Studebaker...

[Tom_I]

OK, no need to rub it in!

How embarrassing. I never take web-based information at face value, but this photo came from a supposedly well-researched book, and the photo was credited to Škoda as being one of their products.

But that's obviously wrong. There's a Studebaker badge on the radiator, and a name on the back edge of the bonnet which has the right number of characters to say President.

Now, if I wasn't so useless on American cars.....

Rest assured that I shall be getting a message to the author of this book to point out the error of his ways.

So one point to Hondast, and I shall be spending the night in the doghouse.

Not too often that I can with the automotive intelligence in this room!

That is not necessary.
