I was impressed (as I usually am) with Andy Beckman's column. I had never heard of the four-door hardtop project...and also what seemed to be the consideration of naming the '56 Clipper series, the "Pierce Arrow"! Amazing to me.
A fellow on the Edmunds forum, a real know-it-all, has told me that nothing made its way from Detroit to South Bend after the Detroit shutdown...that Studebaker ordered everything burned. I told him he needs to explain to me the row of Packard file cabinets in the archives at the SNM!
The Pierce-Arrow thing seems to me like it might have originated in South Bend, although I couldn't explain why I think that.
