  • Original Speedster name

    Did Studebaker make a Speedster model back in the early 30s or late 20s?

    Mid model year 1922 thru 1924. A Big Six 5 passenger touring with dual side mounts. I covered this in my article in TW and also in the Collectible Automobile feature I did for their Oct 1998 issue.

        I think I have seen similar design front bumpers on other cars of that era(?).
        Did Studebaker make the bumpers for their own cars or was there a bumper supplier that made them for several companies?
        I had a teens auto parts catalog that provided such bumpers but maybe those were just a "one size fits all" add on accessory.

          The bumpers were made by Biflex bumpers of Winnetka, Illinois. They were used on many cars of the 20's. They eventually became a division oh Houdaille that made shocks for many Studebakers.
