Greetings to SDC Zone Coordinators:
The Board of SDC has recently passed a motion to make October our offical Membership Recruiting and Retention Month.
What will take place each October has not yet been fully fleshed out, however, one issue that has come up repeatedly is
the existence of chapter members who are not members of SDC. I would apprecaite it if you would contact your Regional
Managers or Club Presidents and remind them of the requirement that all chapter members be members of SDC. Please have
all your Presidents submit membership lists to either Mark Wheeler at Cornerstone or to Richard Dormois. You might remind
them of the provisions of the Policy Manual that state all local chapters agree to conform to the provisions of the SDC Bylaws...
and of the Board and that “only members of SDC will be accepted as members of the local group and the Chapter will submit
a membership list if requested.
Thank you for your assistance with this.
Mimi Halgren
SDC President
I found your club in Larz Anderson Auto Museum email list. I don’t own a Studebaker, but do have stories. If the “Studegram”
reports emails I have a brief interest story to post if it’s not too depressing. When I was a fool drinking at a weekend party in
the 60s I wanted to sober up volunteering to drive the band home, but because my date brought her drink and it was a hot
day in traffic my sobering ceased and we ended up flying my 56 Golden Hawk with the entire band doing a 180 barrel roll
and landing on the roof after I tried to demonstrate a 4 wheel drift which I got ok at by myself,, but the 600 extra pounds was
not in my drunken equation.! Fortunately only the guilty one, me, was hurt due to no seat belts keeping our heads up where
the lawn now was in the front seat while the rear held up fine. I still have my 300 degree Packard 352ci hot oil scar on my
arm where the dash trapped me. When I look at that scar I know someday I’ll own another 56 green & white Golden Hawk to
treat her much better in memory of her sister now long gone. But maybe her engine is still breathing. I sold it to my sculpture
Proffer who loved Studies and so he put it in his 53 Commander Starliner. I had one last drive as he towed me and I sat in all
the glass below that flattened roof peeking out over the rumpled hood while staring at all those round instruments at rest on
that faux but beautiful turned alum dash. My granddad had 3 Studebakers and my dad 4 more. I almost bought a 63 Avanti
but it was too steep for my school budget at the time, but maybe I will someday?
keep em running,
Tristram W. Metcalfe III
Greetings from Ohio,
I am trying to locate a 1955 Studebaker Speedster that was once in my family. My grandfather bought it in 1957 from the
original owner here in Ohio. It was in our family until the early 1980’s. My brother moved to Sacramento and had the car
shipped to him. His intention was to restore it. When after replacing many parts he got tired of working on it and didn’t want
to put the time or efforts into a total restoration, he traded it to someone for a 1965 Mustang. The rest of us in the family were
really bummed out about this. It was in very good shape, aside from underside rust from sitting in a damp garage. Beautiful
green and yellow color scheme!
The VIN number is 7162908 and the body number is 6H-K7 1134. I would like to locate the current owner; my ultimate goal is
to see if I might be able to purchase this Speedster.
Regards,
John Plaskett

President’s Message NOVEMBER
Here it is, holiday season again! Bah
Humbug, where did the summer go! Let
alone what happened to the fall! Rain,
rain, and more rain! It is amazing that we
squeezed two great Ocean Bay meets
out of all that rain! Both the September
in Palmer at Pease Collection of Historical
Instruments and October’s Octoberfest
meet were great weather, so I guess I
can’t complain too much! By now our
Studebakers should be tucked away in the
garage for the winter. With that in mind we
must turn to business for the November
meet and a little joyous celebrating for
December.
Coming up in November is Ocean Bay’s
Annual Business Meeting at the Lafayette
House in Foxboro MA. This is a very
important meeting for Ocean Bay, we
have a lot of things to go over and much
of it needs to be set at this meeting. First
on the agenda is the Calendar of Events
for 2010. As you can see in this issue of
the newsletter the Calendar of Events for
2010 is blank, the only meet set for 2010
is the Zone Meet. We need your thoughts
for 2010 and we certainly need to set the
January and February meet at this business
meeting.
Just as important as the calendar is the
2010 Northeast Zone Meet. Many things
must be reviewed and discussed to make
the Zone Meet a great event. As usual I
will be looking for volunteers that can
help out in both the planning of the Zone
Meet and volunteers that can help out the
day of the meet. Zone Meets just doesn’t
happen! It takes a lot of planning and effort
to make thing work. A couple of items that
I would like to address at this November
meeting are as follows; trophies, Ocean
Bay for many years now has given Wilton
Armetale custom pewter plates as our
trophies. I have contacted Wilton Armetale
to see what they had to offer this year. To
my dismay I found out that they have been
taken over by a new company and their
prices have almost doubled. This is going
to make it almost imposable for Ocean
Bay to continue in it’s tradition. I am now
looking for alternative trophies for the
Zone Meet, but I feel that they must be
unique in design, something as worthy as
the Wilton Armetale trophies that Ocean
Bay is proudly noted for. I strongly believe
that if you charge someone to enter their
car in a Concours d’Elegance then you
should give a trophy that is worthy of them
entering their car in the event. Also on the
list of items that needs to be discussed is
the Awards Banquet, what would you like
to see this year at the banquet, should we
have a guest speaker this year? Any other
thoughts? There is much to go over for the
Zone Meet so please make every effort
to attend this very important business
meeting.
Other items that we will be talking about
will be the Studegram, Ocean Bay’s new
webpage and Ocean Bay’s financial state.
Also at this meeting I will be looking for a
new Membership Secretary. Dennis Luukko
has informed me that he would like to step
down as Membership Secretary. I will be
looking for someone that is good with
computers and is familiar with Microsoft
Office Excel. This is a very important office
that must be filled immediately with the up
coming Ocean Bay dues being due at the
time you receive this newsletter.
December is a happy month and as most
of you know Elaine and I enjoy hosting
the Annual Christmas Party at our home in
Bridgewater. We enjoy seeing old friends
that have made this party so enjoyable
over all the years. This year I would like
to give a special invitation to our new
members and to some of the old members
that have never been here. I assure you that
you will have a great time and many laughs
with are famous “Yankee Swap”. Our home
is welcome to all and decorated for your
enjoyment. As always, good cheers, great
friends, warm spirits and fine food! May the
holiday spirits be with you!

109 Washington St. - Route 1, Foxboro, MA
November 15th 1:00PM
WORK IN PROGRESS
The Lafayette House, founded in 1784,
continues its well-earned tradition of fine
dining and service. Their continental cuisine,
coupled with their impeccable taste in service,
decor and location makes them an ideal spot
for Ocean Bay’s Annual Business Meeting,
discover why the Lafayette House continues
to make history.
This is a critical business meeting for Ocean
Bay! We have many issues to go over for 2010
to make it a great year for Ocean Bay. Please
make every effort to attend this meeting. The
location of this meet should make it an easy
location for Ocean Bay members coming
from all directions. Located just a few miles
south of Patriots Place on route 1 in Foxboro,
allows easy access from all directions including
Rhode Island.
Listed below are critical issues that we must
address for 2010:
• Calendar of Events for 2010
• The 2010 Northeast Zone Meet
• Ocean Bay Financial State
• Studegram
• New Webpage
Directions:
From I-93 (Rt. 128) Dedham, take I-95 south,
Exit 1 toward Providence RI, 7.3 miles, merge

From Rt. 495 merge onto US-1 north
Washington St via Exit 14A toward Wrentham
approx. 4 -5 miles, The Lafayette House is on
the left.
New Ocean Bay Chapter website coming soon!
The site will be up in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for it.
We have been working on it for a while and are close to putting it up - the new site will be more
expandable and easier to update having a stronger emphasis on news stories, similar to how a
blog works . Our hope is that we can use it more as an extension of the newsletter offering a
place to post more photos from events, articles and news that does not fit into the newsletter
along with other events/news that happens in between newsletter issues. Initially the site will
have to be updated by me but soon we will be able to give certain OBC members access to
upload information, etc. directly to the website if they would like to help keep the site growing.
I know not all of you use the website and prefer just getting the newsletter and that’s fine, things
will continue as always with the newsletter, this is just another outlet to get your OBC information
and maybe help attract new members.
If you have any question or content you would like to get up on the site please email me

The Pease Collection of Historical Instruments
Review By Dennis Jolicoeur
It was a beautiful warm September day as
I drove west to Palmer Massachusetts for
Ocean Bay’s September Meeting at the
Steaming Tender Restaurant followed by
a visit to the Pease Collection of Historical
Instruments. I was not sure how this meet
would go since I did not know how many
Ocean Bays members were interested in
musical instruments. That goes to show
you how much I know! As I drove into the
Steaming Tender’s parking lot I did notice a
couple of Studes. I got out of my Hawk to
see who was around and look at the great
vintage 1915 Porter Steam Locomotive &
Tender that dominated the parking lot.
The first members that I ran into were
Chet and Ann Webster, Bill Cathcart and
Pete Fryer - my first thoughts were this is a
long distance for these members to travel,
maybe it is going to be a good meet! As I
stood there talking I was amazed at the
number of Studebakers that started pulling
into the parking lot. Before long even Dave
Thibeault showed up!
The “Steaming Tender” restaurant is situated
in a 19th century Romanesque style train
station. Owners Blake & Robin Lamothe
have been undergoing the restoration
project since 1987. The Palmer Railroad
Station was the 3rd largest station in
Massachusetts and was designed by the
world-renowned architect, Henry Hobson
Richardson, whose untimely death at the
age of 47 cut short a brilliant career. His
major works included the designs for Trinity

Ocean Bay’s Annual Christmas Party
Sunday, December 13th, 2009 2:00PM
As Always, Good Cheers, Great Friends, Warm Spirits and Fine Food!
At the home of Dennis & Elaine Jolicoeur
80 Pine Ridge Drive, Bridgewater MA
PLEASE RSVP
email: djolicoeur@oceanbaychapter.com, Phone: (508) 697-2635
The Ocean Bay Chapter cordially invites you to the Annual Christmas Party and Pot Luck
Dinner at the home of Dennis and Elaine Jolicoeur. The festivities will begin at 2:00PM
and will continue throughout the afternoon. Please come and enjoy the Christmas
season with good friends, fine food and warm spirits. Enjoy the fun of our now famous
Yankee Swap, a highlight of the afternoon.
Our Pot Luck Dinner will be served in late afternoon, followed by the Yankee Swap.
Ocean Bay will provide a cold cut platter, rolls and beverages. All club members are
asked to bring a “Special Dish” to enhance the buffet. Our first choice suggestion would
be a main course dish in order to provide a better variety for the table, but we will also
need desserts and salads. In order for us to get a better accurate count and to better
plan this event, we ask, that you RSVP by email or phone. Let us know the number of
guests you plan to bring and what you will be bringing for the Pot Luck Dinner.
Also, don’t forget to bring a gift for the Yankee Swap if you intend to participate. As
in recent years we request that you do not mark your gift for “His” or “Hers”. We have
found that the unknown is much more fun! Remember the better, more unique and
desirable the gift, the more fun is had at the Yankee Swap!

Review
By Dennis Jolicoeur
In spite of the weather we had over the last
few weekends in October, we had a beautiful
fall day for Ocean Bay’s Octoberfest on the
lawn of the Larz Anderson Auto Museum
in Brookline Massachusetts! A little cool if
you were in the shade but beautiful in the
sun! This year we also had a little change
in the Concours Classes with the addition
of a Packard Class for the first time which
drew in 6 beautiful post war Packards.
Packards as well as other makes that were
manufactured under the Studebaker name
have always been invited to attend Ocean
Bay’s Octoberfest but I believe making the
effort to personally invite the Packard Club
this year made a difference. This is a class
that maybe we should continue with for the
future, I would like to hear your thoughts on
this.
As for Studebakers; Studebaker enthusiasts
came from all over New England to make
this a great Octoberfest. It is great to see
so many old friends drive in at this event
each year. This is the 19th consecutive year
that Ocean Bay has been meeting on the
lawn of the museum. Many old friends and
their Studebakers have come and are now
gown. There is not a year that goes by that
I don’t think of old friends and their Studes
that once graced this lawn. It is great to
see our tradition continue each fall with
so many Studebakers and old friends as
well as many new friends get together
each October to make this a great end of
the year celebration. Such a success is a
great testimony to how great Studebaker
camaraderie really is! .
This year the event brought in just about
35 cars, which made for a great display of
Studebakers on the lawn of the Museum,
making this one of our best Concours
d’Elegance in a while. We had a pretty even
mix of Studes in each class, although I was
a little surprised that we didn’t have more
pre-war Studebakers. But all in all it was a
great day with friends.
The Museum exhibit this year “THE STYLE
AND INNOVATION OF THE AMERICAN
AUTOMOBILE “ was a great exhibit which
featured a look back at the last 80 years
highlighting some of Detroit’s most
elegant designs and amazing technological
breakthroughs. Cadillac, Nash, Studebaker,
Buick, design sketches, period fashion
provided by Lasell College, and design
concepts which included five great
photograph of Raymond Loewy’s Design
Studio at Studebaker.

State Capitol in Albany, Albany City Hall,
Hampden County Court House, Springfield
and the Marshall Field Building in Chicago.
Being a train lover, the authentic, old-world
ambiance of this historic Palmer Railroad
Station captured my imagination as I dined
under the station’s extensive canopies of
the lavish dining room with its exquisite
woodwork and views of passing trains.
The architecture of this train station is truly
magnificent!
Leaving the Steaming Tender Restaurant
we traveled up to the center of town to the
Pease Collection of Historical Instruments.
Nelson and Beverly Pease have a large
collection of antique reed organs packed
into a large storefront on Main Street
along with other pre-electric keyboard
instruments. Here our members toured
through the collection of these beautiful
old instruments and enjoyed the history of
the instruments as told by Beverly Pease.
From the Pease Collection of Historical
Instruments on Main Street we traveled
to the Pease private museum on Foundry
Street. This rustic museum is in a former
sawmill and has a 50 seat concert hall
where our Ocean Bay members enjoyed
an afternoon concert performed by Nelson
and Beverly Pease. The museum is packed
with self playing curiosities, player pianos
and tabletop roller organ, a harpsichord
and a 671 pipe Estey roller organ with a
collection of 1,000 rolls. We all had a great
day and enjoyed the hospitality of Nelson
and Beverly Pease.
