TOPIC: DELMAR Question... RESTORING MY 1959 Delmar

Im restoring my 59 delmar, I am looking for the front cabin glass windshield rubber. I got all the other rubber from WEFCO... They do not have the Studebaker window rubber... any suggestions. This rubber has the white plastic bead insert ..

Since the studebaker winsheild is from a car i went to my local autoglass place they should have it.They use it to install like a fix window.

I haven't seen you in a bit, how are you?
I sold my Del Mar to bobo in Wis. He is knee deeep in it right now and he may be looking for the same window rubber. He may be able to help you out.

Sounds like they can get the rear glass so Im thinking probaully the seal to . There is a number to call .. My seal is good and Im leaving that window in mine . Ill paint around it .L.O.L...From working years in a body shop I learned not to press your luck in less you have to . What color are you thinking about for yours ??

Going with the standard light blue w black stripe... period correct ya know... like in the brochure... The only 59 Delmar brochue I could find .... Thanks for the info... I will check out the classicflatglass !! Oh and you are AT LEAST NECK DEEP !!!

Looks like yours is coming along ..Least you got to get yours wet already ...L.O.L...To bad your in AZ and Im in WI . We could have a Large Delmar Rally of like 2 boats .. There is one in IL that I know of and another fellow on here I think .Anybody else got a Curved Windshield Delmar ?? Anybody know of how many were Built ??
Everybody that has seen mine thinks its a pretty cool boat . When I was coming back from WY with mine soon as I crossed into MN a guy wanted to buy it from me .I told him how far I had gone to get it and it would cost him his left arm and a Family Jewel to talk me out of it . He didnt want to part with neither ...L.O.L..

I know the drill.. EVERYONE wants my boat... THis weekend here in Havasu we host "DESERT STORM" There are Million Dollar Boats are a norm this weekend... It happens every year .. Last year when I was on the water... guess what.. The huddled around the ol delmar... LOL Ya I wish there was production records... I know of only 2 other 1959 Delmars Unrestored.. I owned one of them before mine that I have now... They are hard to find... I was lucky didn't have to get into the floor or transom .. I don't envy that!!! What color are you going?

Color for me is a hard choice .Im restoring a 1956 Chevy step side shorty that will be my tow truck .Its lowered 5 inchs and body will be mostly stock besides the wheels .I was going to go with Tropical Torquise on both .That color flip flops between Torquise and Robins egg blue depending on light .Then I thought thats gonna be like almost 40 foot of torquise going down the road .L.O.L...A bit much .So I kinda blended up my own color .In lower sunlight it looks kinda like Sour Apple green and in direct sunlight Key Lime green .Ill use the green on the top with white on the sides with a green strip pattern im working on .Then ill paint the trailer the Truck torquise color .This is assuming I dont change my mind a 1/2 a dozen times while Im working on the transom ..Mine has the wood on the sides that I finished in a light cherry it should look nice against that green .My goal is by July 4th .My City has a Big party in the park on the water .

My delmar had alot of water under the floor so I guess I will have to do the full works job on that one. I think the fact people flock to see the del mar is cool. I like my delmar as it sits right now. A new floor and transom and it will solid. Cherry wood interior for me...My window is staying in place. I cant wait to see more del mar's in the water, Im currently slowly working on my g3, Mike

Mike, Got any pics yet... How Have you been, Ive Built 4 boats over the winter.. we'll Kind of ... No motors but really nice 'Cabanas" on the water... LOL Not classic Fiberglass, But they are funding the classics !!! lol
