Yes, There Were Studebaker Trucks-- Part 1

Until now, I never knew that. My grandfather on my mom's side ran a Studebaker dealership in Goldsboro, NC, from 1939 to the 1950s. My brother always buys her Studebaker items for her birthday and Christmas. There is always a Studebaker calendar and this year's one is about Studebaker trucks, with a nice photograph on each month.

Some interesting Studebaker truck facts:

** The 2R-Series of trucks made from 1949-1953 was the company's most succesful truck line, selling over a quarter million in that time.

** Studebaker did not make a pickup truck in the 1920s, but some passenger cars were converted into them. There is a picture of one in front of the South Bend, Indiana Studebaker retail outlet and service center which later became home of the Freeman-Spicer Studebaker dealership and later the Studebaker National Museum.

** In 1935, Studebaker was producing the T-Series trucks.
