Studebaker oddity. Pictures from Burundi.

[christophe]

Hi folks,
Some two weeks ago, I went to a large swap meet in Belgium and found some Studebaker material related. I just thought you'd like to see it, too.
Firstly, there is a series of pictures taken in Burundi (Africa) during the 50's. At this time, this country was a part of the Belgian Empire.
Obviously, Studebakers were appreciated there.
Secondly, I can't upload all the pictures so I will have to do a second post.
Nice day to all.

Christophe,
Thanks for the great "period post" which gives us insight as to the simpler times 69 years ago in a far away country(at least for us in North America).
Cheers, Bill

You're welcome, Bill.

Lot of RHD Studebakers in South Africa. Maybe some made their way up north a bit..

Great pic's btw..

The roof rack on the 52 Commander Starlight coupe is interesting. The removable type usually seen wouldn't work because the drip rails on a Starlight are so short.

It looks like 4 suction cups and two web straps, one on each drip rail.

I missed seeing the straps. I'm glad they did not bolt it to the roof.
