    I bet, if she is married, her husband is NOT a 'car-guy'.

      She is not married. She is open to learning things. She is the one who suggested Googling pictures and we discussed the pictures.

        I find that parking the 55 President 2 Dr Hdtp next to 55 Chevies, Fords and Dodges makes the "Big 3" look 20 years older. Looks like a space ship between bread trucks.
        Don't forget the Allstate, Henry J's counterpart sold by Sears and Roebuck and could be ordered from the catalog.

            If I remember reading right, Allstates were limited to the southeastern States, and had sales been better, Sears would have increased the marketing area to include the rest of the US and possibly Canada.

              LOL, I like that space ship between bread trucks.
              I've often heard that Studebaker was ahead of their time, and it's certainly true.
              The 1953 C and K models certainly showed the others how a car should look, and it even looks modern by today's standards.

                I drove 1953 Starliners quite a bit in the 1970s and into the 1980s. Most people thought that they were fairly new cars until I installed wide whitewall tires on them.
