studebaker nicknames insulting and otherwise

[Dan Timberlake]

Insulting nick-names for people and things seem to be a part of life, especially in our younger days.
Not to pick on Ford, but I heard Ford Mustangs called MuskRats, Thunderbirds were often called Thunder-chickens, Thunder-t*rds, etc.

Couple years back a(nother) 60 year old guy at work called my Hawk a Studa-bacon.
I was not sure if he was just having a senior moment, or was fondly recalling an insulting nickname from his youth

Were there nick names for Studebakers back when they were current?
Like the teenagers on "That 70s show" I have an appreciation for clever or witty "burns."

Widely used or local favorites are all welcome.

Money sucking POS isn't politically correct is it??

Nope, that's reserved for boats.

[Son O Lark]

The one I heard was Stupid-baker. Not very witty IMHO.

Rudeabaker comes to mind. One I learned here and like is Indiana road oiler. Of course there is the fondly affectionate Studie.

When we were kids growing up surrounded by my dad's collection of Studebakers, we sometimes called them "Stud Busters".

One that I remember, and didn't like, was SteadyBreaker.

[RareBird]

Comeon fellas - I don't know how many times I've heard "why would anybody drive a Catfish"

One of my instructors in college would call my GT Hawk a Stud Shaker.

When I had the little gold bullet-nose, my son was very young ( 3 or so ) and always said "ride de baker, dad", when we were going somewhere. Of course when the motorcycles were mentioned, he always wanted to "ride de dookie, dad", (Suzuki) . We thought "de (or da) Baker" was so cute, so always call'd 'em them that.

When I was a kid meny moons ago I heard them called South bend vibrator.

[Bill Pressler]

A Notre Dame grad friend of my father-in-law's--the friend had the big ruddy face and nose of a...well, you know...said they used to call them "Polish Packards".

Humble-Baker, I guess because when one was young in the late 60s, it was humbling to be seen driving one

[allstateguy]

like Gary, I do remember SteadyBreaker. The same person called my Sportster a Hardly-Ableson

[Tom Bredehoft]

When I was driving my '50 LC, it was oftenn referred to as a "two row corn picker", but this was farm country.
