Largely forgotten today is Brooks Stevens' attempt to launch a transverse engine FWD Studebaker during the Egbert era. The layout would have been very similar to the famous BMC Mini and would have incorporated Stevens' ideas for interchangeable body panels:

I still have to wonder where those transaxles for the FWD Studes would come from?1963 Champ "Stu Bludebaker"- sometimes driver
1957 Silver Hawk "Josie"- picking up the pieces after an unreliable body man let it rot for 11 years from an almost driver to a basket case
1951 Land Cruiser "Bunnie Ketcher" only 47M miles!
1951 Commander Starlight "Dale"- basket case
1947 Champion "Sally"- basket case
1941 Commander Land Cruiser "Ursula"- basket caseComment

neat article Packard 5687 ! Never knew that, but gotta' say, we absolutely love our current and past Studebakers, but in all honesty, our 63 Mini is WAY more fun, ha ! When you drive something that blows radiator air sideways OUT the wheelwell opening, has the transmission and rear end in the oil pan, and take out 4 screws to remove the grill to easily access the distributor, it just makes for giggles even if we have to work on it !Comment

It would have been a transverse six cylinder, though: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...ed-when-it-did
