As incongruous as those three topics in the title may seem you find all of them in this single photo postal card from my collection. I have superimposed the information on the back of the card to the front (lower right) so the viewer can perhaps understand what is going on in the photo. The cars on either side are 1925-26 model ER Standard Sixes. The John M Studebaker plaque in the center was created in the early 1920s by noted sculptor Julio Kilenyi. This plaster of paris version was sent out to most dealers at the time of its creation. It measures 18" in diameter and is 3/4" thick. A much smaller likeness of the Kilenyi work was used for the early employee service medals and later the service pins.
(Note; My alternate title to this thread was "Hot cars, hot gals and John M. Studebaker". Would that have stimulated more interest?)
The one on the floor, about to pounce, looks like the prototype for Dr. Frankenstein's assistant, Igor.
