Re: [MBZ] OT Sexiest aircraft. was: One for Milt
Guy I worked with back in the early 80s grew up in South Bend, and as a young man worked for Studebaker. Unfortunately (for him) he got his job about a year before they went under. He described the conditions in the plant as people started to figure out the place was going down the tubes as "comical". He said they often left their lunch leftovers in door panels, and on one of the last days, one of his co-workers relieved his bowels into the door panel of a car. Guess the dealer that got that car was happy Dan On Nov 1, 2013, at 5:55 PM, Gerry Archer wrote: > BIL was a Studebaker fan.

Re: [MBZ] OT Sexiest aircraft. was: One for Milt
BIL was a Studebaker fan. Had a '46 Studebaker pickup that got 26 mpg with big tires on the back. Then he bought a sedan with a little propeller on its pointy grill. Finally a little four door V-8 hotrod. Dealership closed and he was never happy with his Fords or Chevys until the GM Saturn. He was still bragging about his Saturn the year he died. Gerry 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?

Re: [MBZ] OT Sexiest aircraft. was: One for Milt
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).

Re: [MBZ] OT Sexiest aircraft. was: One for Milt
And it did not help that they were junk. My recollection is that the engines wore out very quickly. I also think I recall that it was a big car introduced at a time when the public was buying smaller cars. I see one around here that is unique and I assume somone has grafted the front clip onto another vehicle as I don't believe they ever made an Edsel version of the Ranchero.
