Studebaker pops up in modern literature

[Stunt]

I was just reading the newest book by one of my fave authors last week, Kem Nunn, and whaddaya know, one of the characters pops up driving a 1950 Starlight Coupe - yellow, I think. It makes several appearances over the course of the novel, to the point where you start figuring it's going to end up being a major player in the plot, and sure enough, the climactic moment of the whole story hinges on that Studebaker...except it involves it getting WRECKED!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Anyway, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read nonetheless, and quite fun to have that car driving across a page now and then. Oh, the book is called Chance.

Ha! I thought about that, but think I kept it general enough that if anyone here DID actually pick up the book, you'd still be caught off guard at the end.

If they ever make it in to a movie, hopefully they will dress up a '50 Chevy or Ford to look like a Studebaker for the wreck scene.

Check out Ray Bradbury's book "Driving Blind". The title story is about a Studebaker Salesman. Very cool.

Love Bradbury. I'll have to check it out.

Don't forget that Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" spoke of opening the bottom of the windshield of his Studebaker.

My dad read a lot of books by H. Allen Smith. In one of his books (may have been Life In A Putty Knife Factory) he speaks of giving neckties or handkerchiefs out for Christmas.
One of his movie star friends gave him a new Studebaker that Christmas!
