Hi Troy

You went right for the top-of-the-line Studebaker, the Big Six Model EG. Least anyone confuse their pre-war market emphasis with their last compact efforts, Studebakers were solidly medium and upper-medium priced cars when the Big Sixes were current.

It truly is a big six too: 354 c.i., larger than the Buick, Nash and REO sixes among others and even the Cadillac V8. Because of their large engine but moderate size and medium price, they became a favorite of both law enforcement and bootleggers during Prohibition.

Good luck with this great Studebaker project. You'll find a supportive, knowledgeable group in the Antique Studebaker Club that specializes in the pre-war models.
