Nice page with a lot of history about the man who gave name to Studebaker's Rockne. Coming from Norway, it's nice to know that a Norwegian played a role in the Studebaker story :-)

Great site. A few minor errors in the Studebaker part but nonetheless well done. Maybe the webmaster would have an interest in this photo?Richard Quinn

Richard, how did Knute Rockne get to stand in front of a Rockne car when he died at the end of March 1931? There is no doubt you are good with photos.Originally posted by Studebaker Wheel View Post

Why isn't Knute casting a shadow in the picture??Comment

Perhaps because by the time this car was built, he had already joined the 'choir invisible' and the invisible don't have shadows outside of your local photo shop.Originally posted by 31Streetrod View PostComment

Perhaps, if Knute had been photographed with one of the two original Vale-Cole prototypes in 1931, which could have been a possibility, Richard would have not needed to go to the trouble.
Would it be too exquisite if either of those still existed?Last edited by rockne10; 01-07-2011, 06:40 PM.Brad Johnson,
