From today's Hemmings Blog. They say this is 1958 but I find that hard to believe because the newest car might be a 1952 or 1953 Buick.
There's at least one Studebaker, the dark bullet-nose facing the sidewalk about 1/3 in from the left margin. Probably others, too.

I kinda thought so, too, but knew the bullet-nose was a sure thing and made the photo worth posting here. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

The same would be true of any make...for example, I don't see any Hudsons right off, but given the time frame and the popularity of 1948-1950 Hudsons, there are surely some of them in that photo.

However, look immediately behind that light-colored car. Is that another dark-colored bullet-nose? (I repeated the image here since we are now on Page 257 of this thread!) BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

So far, that makes for a total of three Studebakers in that photo.
