The other day I had some time and it was a nice day, so my mom and I went for a ride in my '40. I thought I would take some pics of my car and ended up in plant #1 by building #84 (body building) and then went over by #62 (administration). Here are the pics.

It's used by AM General but the main part of it is called a warehouse company and anybody can store stuff there. Right now I know of some cars in there. I guess it's pretty nice storage. I have never been in there, but have always wanted to. I know that a few things remain there from the Studebaker days, like the sign above my car in the first pic that says building 84. One of the things I saw in the window when I drove there was some iron crates just like the ones we used at SASCO which were stude originals, so the ones I saw probably were too.Chris Dresbach

BTW, whose map are we looking at? It is very good!!!
