This model of Studebaker came off the assembly line in South Bend, Indiana and was purchased by Marcus Motors Inc., of Denver, Colorado. Almost fifty years later, it was found in a farm town neglected and misused to the point of hardly being recognizable. Two men from Colorado Springs, Colorado, found the truck and put several thousand dollars and countless hours of work into bringing it back to original condition. With the help of many Studebaker lovers and a family member with a photo of the truck in its earlier years, the external restoration was completed. You’ll notice this truck has the gas tank mounted at the rear of the truck to give added weight to the rear wheels to increase traction. This truck was generously donated by Lloyd & Margaret Van Horn, Mason City, IA.
Engine Type: 6 cylinderTransmission Type:
