     This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) is filed on behalf of Dana Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Dana”) and BWDAC, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as BWD Automotive Corporation (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons, Automotive Controls Corp., a Connecticut corporation, Pacer Industries, Inc., a Missouri corporation, Ristance Corporation, an Indiana corporation, and Engine Controls Distribution Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2003, relating to the common stock, par value $2.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Standard Motor Products, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Issuer”). Subsequent to filing the Schedule 13D and prior to filing this Amendment No. 1, Automotive Controls Corp., Pacer Industries, Inc., Ristance Corporation and Engine Controls Distribution Services, Inc. were merged with and into Dana with Dana surviving. Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 1, the Schedule 13D remains unmodified. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     The following sentence is added to the end of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D:
     Pursuant to the Repurchase and Repayment Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2005, the Issuer repurchased from Dana in a private sale all 1,378,760 of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Dana at a repurchase price of $8.63 per share for an aggregate repurchase price of $11,898,699.
     On December 29, 2005, the Reporting Persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
     The following sentence is added to the end of Item 6 of the Schedule 13D:
     Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Issuer pre-paid the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, and Dana no longer has any right, title or interest in or to the Note. Also pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Share Ownership Agreement automatically terminated and is of no further force and effect.
