I'm reading a biography of an individual who grew up in Belgium during WWI; there was an American GI who knew him in WWII and described his father, "...as a rich man who drove a Studebaker. Another comtemporary confirmed the fact that a Studebaker was the car of choice of rich industrialists in that era."

Must have been talking about the late 20's/ early 30's?The only difference between death and taxes is that death does not grow worse every time Congress convenes. - Will Rogers -
It has always been my feeling that in Europe, Studebaker cars were considered above those of the big three, almost like a connoisseur's choice.sigpicComment

That may be the case as well, but no, I'll double check the time reference this evening, but the sentence was referencing WWII or just post.Originally posted by Chris Pile View PostComment

I double checked, the author's quotes were related to people speaking post 1944 Belgium, in general. The person quoted about Studebaker and industrialists was a Frenchman.Comment
