Summary[edit]

Description

The Studebaker brothers got their start in 1852 building carriages and wagons, including the Conestoga wagons that carried the pioneers west and the one that carried Lincoln's body after he was assassinated.

They made bicycles, then switched to cars in the early 20th century. They were innovators in both styling and engineering, but poor management sent it into oblivion in 1966.

Its surviving entities: STP engine treatments and Mercedes-Benz, for which Studebaker once held the North American distributorship. (Sherwood Egbert, Studebaker President at the time it ceased car production in the United States, earned the undying contempt of Studebaker's rank-and-file workers for his use of a Mercedes S-class limousine.)


The last South Bend Studebakers were made in December of 1963; from then until 1966, they were made in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The old South Bend plant had been vacant for 25 years when I drove my car into the middle of the courtyard. I was standing on top of a ramp where trucks used to be loaded when I took this picture.
