From page 47 of the December 19, 1966 issue of Automotive News:
Studebaker Corporation
announces on behalf of itself and its subisidaries that in view of the complete and permanent discontinuance and abandonment of STUDEBAKER CORPORATION and all of its subsidiaries of the manufacturer and sale of automobiles which was announced to the public ealry this year, and all automobile trademarks and trade names, registered or unregistered, have been released and surrendered and all goodwill, trademarks and trade names relating to the automotive business have been abandoned to the public.
The above is the entire passge. It is a paid ad, as it appears under the miscellaneus section of the Automotive News classifieds. I'll leave it to the lawyers to debate, but I guess if someone wanted to make thair own car in the late '60s and call it a Stude, nobody was going to stop them.
