Yes, the Steak & Shake picture with the 1955 Olds pulling in and the 1961 Lark already parked, is pretty much a staple in all their restaurants. It's even on some of their Gift Cards, IIRC.BP

I love seeing the later Studes in photos, as in the last one, above...when their market share was declining. Sure seems like '47-52 models show up the most, but then again we are talking about six model years there!Bill Pressler

I am sorry but I can't post the picture but below is a link to a picture from 'Dirty old Boston' that is a color picture of 3 Studes just outside of Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. One is a truck 1 ton stake body.
As a kid I thought my father was the only one in Cambridge that owned Studebaker(s).

I don't remember seeing that Studebaker parked there before, and I only lived three houses down. The store-owner, with the bow-tie, was known as the P.T. Barnum of the mountains with his slogans and big giveaways. The youngster wearing coveralls at the front of the truck is now one of the largest car dealers in north GA, western NC, and eastern TN.

Commander Eddie, that is funny about the leopard skin interior. I had a Champion when we lived in Alabama with some kind of "cat" interior, it was on EVERYTHING !!! Hard to look at driving down the road, but it sure got a lot of comments, although I don't remember any positive ones, ha !

j.Byrd, yeh, if the car is still around someplace that would be the defining feature. My dad loved that car. I never could figure out why he traded it in a couple of years later for a convertible. The convertible ran over my cat in the driveway one day. I have mixed feeling about that one. I think it was a '52.Ed Sallia
