SDC FOrum  #43316 - Aug 2010

Hi: When I lived in Peachland BC in the late 1980s,early 1990s I visited Twin City
 Motors,Okanagon WA 98840,509-422-3022 on a number occasions. The original and only
 owner was Les Stevens,he was quite elderly and in poor health at that time and I 
think he has probably passed away by now. When Studebaker shut down in 1966,he became 
a Jeep Dealer,as were most,his was a small dealership,located on the same property as 
his residence. I purchased a number of parts from him,I was gathering parts for a 1949 
Starlite at the time. His Neon Studebaker dealership sign went to Ray Parker in Oliver 
BC and when Ray got out of the Studebaker hobby,I believe it went to Joe Rowell, Powel 
River BC and is likely still there. When I last visited Les,he still owned a 1950 4dr 
Sudebaker with around 30,000 miles on it,he was trying to sell it at the time,so have 
no idea where it is now. Les was a down to earth guy as were most small dealership 
owners. I don't know it this info is of any help to you,but it's all I know about Twin 
City Motors. Art Enderby, Canada (VAG88 - SDC Forum)

I bought some parts from Twin City motors, also in the late 80s, early 90s. I went 
throught the area on my way to or from SDC meets in BC, in my '52 Champ 2 door. I'd be 
interested to know if the building was still standing, it was on the outskirts of 
Okanogan, not downtown like most dealerships. (The other twin city is Omak)

I have been there on numerous occassions! The last being last Summer. I left a note
 for Les to call me, but recieved no reply to date. I too have talked to Les but can't 
recall when the last time was.....seems like yesterday?? . But, I am sure it was 7 or 
8 years ago????
May have picture of the building from last summer. And yes it is still staning and has 
not changed a bit since the las time I was there. Did a little snooping in Les' back 
garage while I was there and there were still some Studebaker pieces hanging in the 
rafters. The 4 Dr was not there.

Good Roads
