If I had to be a member of a cult, I picked the best one.

Have we discussed this one before? Lots of errors, but still fun.

Good grief! The only notables before World War II were an early electric and the Coupe-Express? Geeze...methinks the author should have considered many more. BP

Well...I’m pretty sure that if an editor had given me the assignment to write an interesting story about the company that spanned well over a century and paralleled much of this countries significant history, I would have failed miserably if the column space and word count had the same limitations. Shucks, I would have used up that much space before getting to 1942.

The '66 Lark Daytona and Lark Cruiser models -were NOT- the sole offerings.
Our family's last Studebaker was a Richelieu Blue 1966 Commander 4 door sedan equipped with the 283 and 3 speed/ overdrive manual transmission.
I was present in the Sales Office when dad placed the order, and was allowed to choose the color. We had to wait several weeks for its delivery.
I recall we subsequently received several unexpected promotional gifts, including a large South Bend brand electric roaster, which mom cherished and used for our holiday meals for years.

Methinks the author of the article may have just recently graduated from a journalism course, and was too impatient to do any extensive "journalism."

They also skipped right over the Canadian built 1965 Models.

The "1960" Champ they showed was either a '61 with '60 Body Side Mouldings or a '60 with a Late '61 Styleside Box.

While not perfect, ANY Stude. Press is good Press.

I wouldn't describe us as a Cult either, more like a "Large, Highly Dedicated following", with better NOS and New Parts support hands down, than ANY no longer produced Automobile or Truck Brand ever built Anywhere.

In my opinion, never mentioning Sherwood Egbert, the Man who actually Inspired the Avanti, pushed it into Production in record time, and tried desperately to save the Corp. and especially the Automotive Division was a major disgrace.

Thanks for the great post Bob K.
BP don't forget about the Hill Holder which Subaru eventually invented. And the US6 which saved Russia.
