Had there been any money left in an account for this case, the lawyers would never have let it settle. For some reason lawyers loose interest in a suit if the client goes broke.
Just venting because it was lawyers that that put Studebaker out of business. Building cars made over one million dollars in 1966, but lawyers had made up their minds to shut it down and use the money to invest in other ways, probably into lawyer's pockets.sigpic1966 Daytona (The First One)

Sadly lawyers and insurance companies have ruined a lot of good things in this country, and also made many things no longer affordable. I remember when a guy might have put a dent in a Studebaker or another brand x car and he could pay the owner on the spot, usually a hundred or two to fix it. Now everything goes through lawyers and courts and costs are well into thousands.

Of course, in the spirit of Make Studebaker Great Again we could create a lawyer conspiracy theory that it was really Richard Nixon who was responsible for scuttling a deal with Nissan that closed Studebaker down.

Amazing the crap that is getting cleaned up lately. Our tax dollars were at work on this for 55 years. One must remember, Studebaker did not go out of business, they just left the automotive business. And with this kind of legal atmosphere getting a foothold in the 60's, it's no wonder why.

The article fails to mention a later charge which was stayed by the Federal Trade Commission against STP over 'false and unsubstantiated claims' about the product: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/pres...n-first-brands
I recall seeing the paid ad in Turning Wheels (March, 1978?), which the FTC required them to publish. Of course, STP was no longer owned by Studebaker-Worthington when the charges were filed.

I have four pages of notes from my phone conversations with Andy G (and the former STP VP of sales)
regarding the start of STP's initial sponsorship in NASCAR with Richard Petty.
Saving those for a future story....HTIH (Hope The Info Helps)
