Studes of the Month
The first "Stude of the Month" appeared in October 1995.
The early scans were typically small due to the modem and storage limitations of the time.
Many of the older photos used in this section and in the "More Cool Studes" section have been rescanned when hard copies were available.
Others have been replaced with better or more recent images submitted elctronically.
If you see your car or truck and can provide updated photos, preferably in electronic form, please contact me at wj2d44@gmail.com and I will be happy to post the updated images.

The Stude Quiz
By far largest number of Studebaker military trucks built during World War II were used by
- The U.S. Army.
- The British Army.
- The Red Army.
- The U.S. Marines.
Test your Studebaker knowledge by taking the entire Stude Quiz.
The Packard Connection
Studebaker and Packard merged in 1954 to form the Studebaker-Packard Corporation.
One offshoot of the merger was the 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk which was powered by Packard's big 352 V-8.
The Detroit Packard plant was closed in 1956, and Packard production was moved to South Bend.
The 1957 and 1958 Packards were basically Studebakers with different styling and upgraded interiors.
Many Packard buffs consider the latter to be nice Studebakers as opposed to "real" Packards.
