I was talking to a guy today who has a fair collection of Studes, packards, willys, hudsons and such. We got talking about the relationship between Mercedes and Studebaker and he was telling me that things have started coming out in recent years about Studebakers history such as Packard actually bought Studebaker instead of it being a merger and it had been an unadvised buy by people who knew packard. He also told me that no one knew where the money for the Lark came from and it has started coming out that Mercedes actually put up the cash for the Lark and was pretty much in control of that whole thing. One thing he mentioned, I have heard about on here somewhere that Porsche was working on something and there was a car that was pretty much completely built by Porsche for studebaker.
So how many of you know anything about this?
