The attached Studebaker employee pin image for 55 loyal years of service from the thirties makes me reflect how long I have been connected with Studebaker since our Melbourne Australia firm, Canada Cycle & Motor Co began assembly of CKD boxed kits from South Bend in early 1960. They made their own Assembly Jigs from fully imported RHC Studebaker cars & commercials.
That was an interesting six years until we ceased production in 1966 with the Chev powered Cruisers & over six thousand assembled units in total. That included over three hundred two & four door Larks & Cruisers built & equipped for our State of Victoria Police Force.
Since then I've remained associated with Studebakers by buying, repairing & selling up tp thirty examples of various models in my spare time plus my long term ownership of a RHC South Bend '64 Hawk. I also have a passion for collecting Studebaker Memorabilia. My relationship with Studebaker has been long & fruitful including attendances at fifteen SDC International Meets.
