Had not seen this one before... posted to Facebook by a Stude friend, thought I'd share it here:

Interesting, Dave.
Note that it had to be a mid-year ad, not "Introduction Day" fare, because the Golden Hawk has the second-series two-toning. BP

that's really cool!

The dealership at the end of the commercial looks like a pretty new and large establishment. Wonder where it was.
Love seeing those original moving pictures of those cars going down the road - especially with the singing and the Les Paul guitar playing in the background.

It sounds like Studebaker invented certified used cars as well as cool! Were other car companies talking about certified used cars in 1956??? 56 years later, all the car companies are touting their certified used cars.sigpic[SIGPIC]Comment

Yes and no. With the slanted out showroom windows, it does look modern (for the time). But the red-ball (possibly neon) Studebaker sign on the roof looks like something from the past.Originally posted by 62champ View PostKURTRUK

A while back, a video was posted which was a drive through vintage L.A. from the driver's point of view. The car turns left and on the right, you can see a big red ball Studebaker sign. Frost and French was bandied about as being the possible dealership. I wonder if the commercial was filmed in Hollywood?Comment

And all in rhyme. Was that produced in Whoville?Working on old cars separates the men from the golfers.Comment
