1875 Studebaker on A&E's "Storage Wars"

Actually I have a 1890's Chevrolet, or McLaughlin as the company was called then.
Interesting Hearse. Much more so because of the perch undercarriage. They were usually done with a platform gearing. Still, in the 1870's I believe there was a feed shortage due to poor crop performance. Because of this many companies produced lighter vehicles in order that the horses could be still worked. However this vehicle also has the lesser wheels as well. So it just might have been an economy model.
Thanks for posting this Dave. I found it interesting to say the least!

Ron, how did an Oshawa built carriage make it out to California? BTW, McLaughlin became McLaughlin Buick but the plant in Oshawa, Ontario did build a number of Chevrolet models over the years.

As the above posters have mentioned, thank you Dave for putting this up. My wife is an absolute horse nut and we have a sleigh (not Studebaker) so anytime something like this comes up we can relate to each others "nuttyness".
