Idaho Potato Farmer Stude pickup makeover

[jimmijim8]

Have you seen the old and now new commercial on TV featuring the Stude pickup. It looks real good. Any body know who owns that truck. member perhaps? jimmijim

I agree. However in the original I though it totally unnecessary to have the truck cough and splutter near the end. Obviously some person's opinion of Studebakers' being unreliable.

The motor in new truck does not appear to be Studebaker Brand x. May be the Studebaker parts are rejecting the transplant needs more anti rejection drugs to accept the foreign motor

The dog looked like the intelligent one, probably put a Chubby in it.

I took it more as a reflection on the farmer, not the truck, but that's just my opinion.
