Late '40s Studebaker Champion and pickup. The greatest tractor they don't make no more meets the greatest car they don't make no more.

Grandpa Skow had the Allis and New Holland dealership in Moorhead, Iowa. He was mostly a Ford man since the Model T days. He never owned a Studebaker. He did own a series of three Kaisers in the late '40s and early '50s.

Actually, I think I'm the first and only person in my close family to ever own Studebakers. :/

Is that a Stude parked next to the Stude? Gotta stick together when you're the odd man out in Motown?

I think the Stude is flanked by '50 Ford and a '39 Buick.
There's a big Packard first in the line on the left and I think another Packard in 15th place in that line on the left.

Detroit 1951

The only Studebaker I see is in the center row, 3rd car back is a 1951, but look at the white convertible 8 cars up from the back of the center row. Look at the rear fenders. Almost looks like some custom job. I sure don't recognize it.

Appears to be a '46 or '47 Cadillac.

There also a '47-'50 four door sedan to the extreme right.

White convertible appears to be a 1949 Buick Super or Roadmaster.

This picture is a "car spotters dream" as there's so many different makes and models.

I believe that is a 1978 'Champagne Edition' which was painted that color & striping combination.
