I really love the Studebaker Starliner-such a beautiful car.

I remember many of these from my childhood. They each had their own personality.

An excellent presentation. We all have favourites, Hudson Hornet, Kaiser Manhattan, Isetta 300, Nash Metropolitan, and of course the Studebaker Avanti which by design had been years ahead. Unusual in appearance was the attraction to these cars. Restored, they are still appreciated to this day. Much respect.

'53 and '54 Studebaker are one of my all time favorites!

The downfall of studebaker came when it was unable to allow it's engine blocks to cure for the necessary time period. as a result they warped and caused the engines to burn oil. when Studebakers were common in the mid 50's almost all of them were oil burners.

Those orphan cars are today's treasures!

I always wanted a 53/54 studey! Beautiful and way before their time. Never did luck onto one.

About sixty years ago, this guy in my home town had a Studebaker Golden Hawk. God, what a beautifulo car that was.

A very European body design -- that's why it didn't sell. Low and aerodynamically "slippery", it looked good only as a 2-dr. -- the sedans were somewhat tubby-looking. Studebaker assembly quality was also spotty, despite the heavy involvement of "father-son teams" on the line. Studebaker assembly workers were the best-compensated in the industry, meaning the company didn't have the scratch left to re-tool often enough to keep up with the Big Three once the horsepower race got rolling in the mid-'50s. They had to stick with sixes and small V-8s for several years.

When I was a kid, a school friend of mine had an old Hudson Hornet, it was our go-to “bomb around town” car on the weekends. 308 ci six cylinder, hydromatic tranny. 400 k. miles on it. Bad paint job, slow to crank up, (6 volt system) but it was FUN! It would run over 100 mph on the highway. His family had the last Hudson dealership in St. Louis that closed in the late 50’s. I think that he ended up selling the car for $100 or so… you’d never find one for that now!

I miss the Studebaker. My grandparents had 3 of them, plus a Stude 1 ton truck for farming. The Studes were really wonderful cars.

As a kid, my friends and I couldn’t wait to go to the showrooms to see the new models and pick out favorites

Bottom line they still run and look great a testament to skill quality and craftsmanship awesome thanks

This brings back a lot of memories but more so the Studebaker. My father had a maroon 1948 Studebaker which had vacuum operated windscreen wipers, and a weirde "knee action" front suspension. Then in 1955 he got a blue Studebaker Champion 4 door sedan, which had the hill holder , now being fitted to lots of new cars known as Hill Start Assist. At least the 55 Champion was a much nicer car minus the vacuum windscreen wipers. It had the overdrive which was operated by a cable under the right hadn side near ones knee ( RH Drive Models ) . That was the first car I remember learning to drive. Dont make them as nice anymore

The two that I know of in Reno, Nevada are remarkable cars. Raymond Loewy was famous for leading the design on them, as well as the Pepsi logo, Coca-Cola bottle, the Greyhound buss, streamliner locomotives, the AVANTI car, the interior of the SST passenger jet, and much more.

My understanding is that the Studebakers with "the foreign look" (starting in 1953) actually did sell well. It was the company's inability to produce them fast enough that spelled the end. I think, although the same body was used on the Hawks right up into the 60's, the 53 coup was the most beautiful production American car of the 50's.

The problem was the prototype was designed on the longest wheelbase chassis that Studebaker made instead of the standard chassis. This caused no end of problems because Studebaker had planned that the shorter wheelbase four door sedans would outsell the coupes. When the demand for the coupes came in, they were unprepared and had not enough long wheelbase chassis. Many orders for the coupe were cancelled when buyers got tired of waiting.

Thanks for the auto history video, will watch it a few more times just for retention.👍

I always pick up something new from the info films. But some of the cars shown are not orphans since their manufacturer is still in business. Corvair was built by Chevy, so it would be a discontinued model, not an orphan like a Rambler. Good job.

Great cars, great vlog, thanks for sharing.

I'd take that Stude Skyliner over any of the "me too" 55-57 T-birds that are always for sale.

The car called a Studebaker Lark was actually a 1964 Cruiser. The Lark went from 1959 to 1963.

With regards the Studebaker Avanti, apparently the problem was not buyer apathy but lack of product availability at the showroom. It took Studebaker too long to get them into the showrooms after the initial announcement. The buyers went elsewhere. I had the station wagon with the sliding roof and the Studebaker V8. It was a good design, if not beautiful. It had power, economy (25 mpUSg at highway cruise) and the glovebox lid was something that other mfgrs should have copied.

Russell Dawkins The Wagonaire was the most significant wagon design since the all metal design. It should have sold like hotcakes, had it a Chevrolet name, it would have. Correct about Avanti, it created a sensation with many pre- orders that went elsewhere when Studebaker couldn't get them built fast enough. This was almost completely the fiberglass body builders fault. But, same scenario with the all new 53 Starliner. The public wanted it, not the over produced bread and butter sedans. Though over 100 years old Studebaker management never learned some lessons.

Avanti’s problem was that there was really only one source for high quality automotive fiberglass technology, and they were unofficially ‘locked’ down for GM’s Chevy Corvette. GM said “fine, go make bodies for those little guys...and you can forget about getting another job from US!” The fiberglass people knew which side their bread was buttered, so they had to stop servicing Stude. Consequently, there were all kinds of Avanti production delays and quality problems. They couldn’t deliver in time and when they did, the cars had problems so they lost the customers. A few independent companies have kept the Avanti name and iconic design going on and off over the ensuing years though.

I love all old cars and trucks especially the less popular ones. My son actually discovered this show for me when he started his masters degree at Eastern Michigan. He found a job after getting his degree and still lives in Yippsi. We've attended the show together every year since he told me about it in 2011. He kept encouraging me to find and restore a car for the show. I found a 78 Chevy Monza about 2 years ago and have been working on it ever since. I consider the Monza an orphan (the Vega too) and hopefully I'll be able to my Monza in the show this year.

It really is a shame that the car didn't save Studebaker, but at least they went out with a bang instead of a whimper.

REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO GREAT CARS

Not mentioned here, but a very important aspect of this entire story, was that cars whose manufacturers were known to be in poor financial condition would always be avoided by a large number of potential buyers. Few people will want to possibly get stuck with an orphan car, particularly because the dealer could also go out of business, and then who's going to repair the darn thing?

Thumbs Up here! In 1980-81 I bought a '67 Rambler American 2 door with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree for $300. It was extremely reliable except the shift linkage would always get jammed up between 1st and 2nd and then I had to pull over and pry it apart with a crowbar. That car ran so smoothly. Don't pass a truck in the rain; the vacuum operated wipers would slow down to a crawl and I could barely see. Rain-Ex wasn't invented yet as far as I knew. Mine lost 2nd gear so I sold it for $50. That car was built like a tank and good on gas. I always had Plymouth Valiants and still have one. Where do folks find parts for those cars? The Valiant parts prices are stupid high and I can't even find a decent rebuilt 1 or 2 barrel carb anymore; it's all cheap junk from China. Finding a competent mechanic is another challenge. I may have to give up the hobby because I can't afford prices of parts/repairs for my orphan '74 Valiant. Once the simplest, cheapest car for the masses on the planet it's becoming a boat anchor. Mine is a 4 door that's cut/sectioned into a El Camino style custom car, so it gets a lot of attention where ever I go. Finding parts or a reliable mechanic is a big disappointment. Even worse, when I get gas everyone likes it and I regularly get offers of $1500! The compliments turn into contempt when I say No! "It's just an old car!" Your right, but this one has nearly $8500 worth of new parts on it including a new engine, trans and paint. Go buy someone else's old car for $1500 and have a nice day.

Ramblers had the worst three on the tree shifting ever. I learned to drive on one. Once you could shift them then you could drive anything.

I collect only orphan cars. '27 Durant Star, '30 Marquette, '37 Olds, '41 Plymouth, '49 Nash, '50 Studebaker, '52 Desoto, '56 Packard, and '58 Edsel. Each car, in its own way, tells a story -- of neglect, woe, and defeat.

Well done. There are a number of things to nit pick, but it was entertaining and mostly correct. There were people in the industry who could see the difficulties ahead and, unfortunately, those who listened listened too late. Studebaker didn't go out of business, it went into other businesses. Kaiser kept Jeep until AMC bought it in 1970 but sold his Kaiser and the Willys auto in South American markets. Some AMC models were later purchased for production there. AMC had the best run lasting from the 1954 merger for thirthy three years until it was acquired by Chrysler. Note that neither the "Chrysler" of today nor General Motors is the same company of that era as both were liquidated in bankruptcy and new companies formed to take the marque names forward. Making and selling cars is a tough business and will see more consolidation in future.

Someone should tell the Crosley owner that Crosley began building cars before WWII and not in 1946. Independents like Kaiser could not design and build cars less expensively than the big three. In fact, once the post war sellers market ended, Kaiser could no longer sell cars at a profit.
