A quick search would indicate they just were not big enough to be able
to compete with the big 3 automakers.

True, the Studebakers were good cars. Dad bought a pickup truck when the
local dealer went out of business, we drove it to about 200k miles, then
sold it to a collector. I don't remember why they died (the brand).

Yup, resonates! a family friend had both a Studebaker and an Edsel
dealership - he retired early.
Studebakers weren't so bad. The little Superhawk was a nice car. I knew
a fellow who drove one for a very long time. Black with a white stripe on
the side. V8 and a manual transmission with overdrive.
Quite the little hotrod for its time in the early 60's.
And how about the Avanti?
I had an uncle who drove a really ugly one. 4 door sedan that was somewhat
rounded and sort of a pinky tan colour. But he put a lot of miles on the
silly looking thing.
