I was just looking through the database at AAD.archives.gov and found that apparently the last government contract with Studebaker was in 1977 for the Navy. The amount was under $25,000 and the company location (actually Studebaker-Worthington) is given as Newport News, Va. I guess Studebaker-Worthington had an office there. In previous years - even after 1966 - Studebaker had a lot of contracts with the government, much of it in pumps. Many times the location is given as Minneapolis, where I know Studebaker had subsidiaries ( I think Onan was one).
Anyway, it's sort of esoteric information, but interesting to note that Studebaker's business with the government continued long after the cars were no longer made.
