      What a dealership building. It looks like cars are displayed on at least the second floor as well as the first. Where was this dealer?

        • Last evening I was at the Ocean Beach State Park for the Monday night event. A gentleman walked up and said that he had owned the first Avanti marketed. When I asked him about it, he replied he had been the dealer. Being aware that there had been more than one dealership in the area, I asked him which one and he replied "Lathrop Studebaker in New London."

          Last year I was at Mystic Seaport and saw my first ten cylinder marine engine and it was a Lathrop. i don't know if the two businesses were related in any way. Being that so many folks leaving the beach looked over the cars there were more than beautiful cars present.

              • I am currently designing a typical 1-car Studebaker showroom, for use in a paper model. Does anybody have photogaphs of one-car Studebaker showrooms?

                      • OK folks, I got the story on where my truck came from.

                        Wentworth Motors
                        990 2nd St.
                        Lebanon, OR
                        AL8-2949

                        I found an "ask the librarian" button on the Lebanon libraries website and told the story. A gentleman named Steph Miller responded and was able to find a listing in the 1961 Lebanon Classified Business Directory (which looks like the Yellow Pages... when did they start calling the Yellow Pages the "Yellow Pages"?), he was kind enough to send a .pdf of the page.



                        Today it's "The Filling Station", vendor restoration and hot rod parts for old Chevy's.



                        The Filling Station sells quality reproduction parts for original and street rod Chevy & GMC cars & trucks. Parts for 1916-1964 Cars & 1918-1987 Trucks


                        I contacted them and they know quite a bit about the history of their building, it was built as a Nash dealer in 1947, but didn't know about the Studebaker connection.
