IN 1926 STUDEBAKER WANTED TO GET HIS SONS INVOLVED MORE IN THE COMPANY . SO IN 1926 HE BROUGHT UP THE POINT OF NAMING THE CAR ERSKINE AFTER HIS SON. THESE CARS WERE SOME OF THE FIRST OFF THE LINE TO BE KNOW AS ERSKINES, WHICH WERE BEST KNOWN THROUGH 27, 28, 29, 30. FOR SOME REASON ERSKINE IN THE EARY FALL OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION KILLED HIMSELF AT THE STUDEBAKER PROVING GROUNDS IN SOUTH BEND, INDIANA. AT THAT POINT, THEY STOPPED PRODUCTION OF THE ERSKINE'S. THESE CARS WERE BUILT AS A HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR OF THAT TIME AND BENDIX INVENTED THE FIRST HYDROLIC BRAKES FOR THESE CARS! IN ARIZONA THEY WERE USED AS SHERRIFFS CARS AND CALLED "THE SHERRIFF" AS A SLANG OR SECONDARY NAME. THE LATER MODELS WERE CALLED SUPER SIX AND BIG SIX, THEY WERE 127" WHEEL BASE THIS CAR IS 107". THE TRUE MILES ARE UNKNOWN, IN FL. AFTER TEN YEARS ALL CARS ARE GENERALY LISTED ON THE TITLES AS SUCH, AS WELL AS ALL USED CARS ARE SOLD AS IS CONDITION, BUT THIS CAR WILL DRIVE ANYWHERE ANYTIME. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS AND DONT DRIVE IT ENOUGH TO KEEP IT. I DO MY VERY BEST TO EXPLAIN CARS TO THE FULLEST. IM 100% AND WANT TO STAY THAT WAY. INSPECTIONS CAN BE DONE PRIOR TO FRIDAY, AS THE CAR IS GOING TO A HOT ROD SHOW, AND MAY BE SOLD AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM EBAY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. MOST OF MY CARS SELL BEFORE THE END OF AUCTION SO SHOOT ME SOME OFFERS, OR I MAY TAKE PART TRADES FOR STREETRODS ETC... TITLE IS IN MY NAME CLEAR NO LIENS, SO DONT WORRY ABOUT GOING TO THE BANK TO GET A LIEN TAKEN OFF LIKE SOME CARS I HAVE BID ON. ~~MY NAME IS RON SINGLETON, OF OCALA FL.
