Description of 1928 Studebaker |
1928 Erskine Studebaker Coupe NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY The Erskine was an American Automobile built by The Studebaker Corp. in South Bend, Indian from 1926 to 1930. Ray Dietrich designed the Erskine and it was named after Albert R. Erskine, a onetime Studebaker Corp. accountant that ran the company from 1915-1933. The Studebaker Corp. was quite successful in the medium-priced field, but Erskine wanted to expand Studebaker into the lower and higher priced automobile market. The Erskine was nicknamed "The Little Aristocrat" and was quite stylish compared to other automobile of 1927. The Model 50 Erskine had a 107-inch wheelbase. The engine for the Erskine was bought by Studebaker from Continental. This Continental engine was a long stroke, small bore six cylinder rated at 40 horsepower. The Continental was cheaper to use than the more expensive, better built and more powerful Studebaker six cylinder. For consignment, a 1928 Erskine Studebaker coupe. Most definitely a barn find project, but when is the last time you saw one in the flesh? It is an honor for this writer to be in the presence of so many rare and often ignored classic cars and this marque is one of them. Exterior Interior Drivetrain Undercarriage An example of a long defunct marque in need of TLC. A very ambitious project or perhaps a parts car to save another better off Erskine.
