CAR NAMES - Studebaker had great model names

[Mark57]

Gee... read through all the posts on this topic and saw no mention of great [u]TRUCK</u> names - Transtar,[8D] Scotsman (appropriate for the time, but not PC these days[}]) and Champ[8D]... recalling that Transtar was so good it was picked up by the competition after Studebaker quit making them[:0]. 'Course, I might be a bit biased.

The 56 wagons were named for country clubs. Pinehurst is in North Carolina, I think Parkview was in Canada. Not sure where Pelham was.

PELHAM...Henry Pelham was Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1743-1754 according to good 'ol Google. I liked Studebaker's station wagon names in the 1950s...they were stately names for stately cars.

I've always liked Wagonaire; not just Wagon, but Wagonaire. [)]

Transtar is a good one, as is Gran Tourismo and Avanti.

I agree with Leonard on the St. Regis Brougham. That name just screams elegance and sophistication. Another one that comes to mind is President Skyway.
