    I have tried all the usual rubber seal dealers and struck out, anyone have a secret place to find vent window rubber seals for a '50 Stude Champion Convert? Thanks

    You have a 50 champion convertible? Cool, I do too.

    Did you try studebaker parts vendors Chuck Collins in AZ, and Bill Fenesse (sp?) in Tenn?

    Try bill, I dug up his contact info. He was one of the first guys back in the day to offer repro rubber for studes. He's getting up there in age, so you'll have to call/write him (no internet)

    Fennessey Studebaker
    217 andover Way
    Nashville TN. 37211
    615-662-5013
     
  11. YEP, Fennessey in Tennessee is the place to go first.
    If he doesn't have it for that car, probably no one does.

    Bill's the man! Just got off the ph. with him and he can set me up with what I need in a round about way as they don't make them anymore. Thanks!

    Bill is the guy to go to for what is repopped, but if you need it made, Steele Rubber will make it for you as long as you can make them a template of the profile. I been using them for years, and had to do this several times. It's not as expensive as you think it would be.
