Is anyone able to see this pic? I can't, but sure would like to!Originally posted by JRoberts View Post
"Men work on completing an automobile at the Los Angeles Studebaker assembly plant in Vernon, CA."
EDIT: Now visible. Thanks! Didn't Vernon open in 1948? This looks a bit primitive for '48, don't you think?Last edited by kurtruk; 02-25-2017, 09:14 AM.KURTRUK

I am seeing the pic in 8124 just fine. Could it be that different browsers & O/S's are treating pics differently? I am using firefox. Also, my operating system is windows 7 pro.John Clary

The Vernon plant assembled its first Studebaker on Nov. 23, 1935 (1936 model year). Its last was June 6, 1956. Total production 265,976 or approx 11.2% of total.

If you mean the picture of the workmen on the assembly line in Post 8124, it looks good here.
