I was working working on a Hemmings Classic Car idea today, researching brand loyalty and market penetration.
'Ran across the following interesting stats:
For the 1961 model year, Studebaker's national market penetration was 1.23%.
The following states, however, had more than 2% market penetration (alphabetical order) :
Connecticut: 2.14
Idaho: 2.13
Indiana: 2.54
New Hampshire: 2.07
New Mexico: 2.47
District of Columbia: 2.55 (can you say Government Services Administration?)
OTOH, the following states were SS (Studebaker Slackers), buying Studebakers less than 1% of the time :
Alabama: .84
Arkansas: .77
Delaware: .80
Georgia: .97 (thanks for trying, Neil!)
Hawaii: .62
Kansas: .99
Kentucky: .73
Louisiana: .87
Michigan: .74
Missouri: .87
North Carolina: .97
Oklahoma: .66
South Carolina: .55
Texas: .88
That's right: Studebaker's worse 1961 market penetration was in South Carolina. BP
