  • A presidential Studebaker quiz you probably won’t get

    During the term of what U.S. President was a Studebaker built vehicle kept within the living quarters of the White House? Also what year and model? Clue: It was in the 20th century.

      President Kennedy - a '64 Wagonaire
      No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

        President Taft had a 1912 Baker Electric.

          I once owned a 64 Cruiser that was tagged as a White House courtesy car.

            Not McKinley, not Kennedy, not Taft.

                    Yes! Of course, "kept within the living quarters"

                      Why yes, along with the ponies that pulled it.

                      (just a guess).

                        No source, you stated it was kept inside the White House so it could not have been the two Studebaker Electric vehicles used as transport for the senate. I would not have thought that a regular vehicle of any sort would have been kept in the White House so it would have to have been some sort of vehicle small enough to be kept inside the dwelling. I knew Studebaker made toy wagons and I knew that Teddy Roosevelt had young children when he was president. One other point I had just watch the movie "Lincoln" and his young son had a "goat cart" in the White House but that did not take place in the 20th century. In other words a very lucky guess.
