Iwas born in South Bend and grew up practically in the shadow of the Studebaker plant where my grandfather spent his entire career. His wife, my grandfather, was a descendent of Clement Studebaker, one of the founders of the wagon builders that became the car maker. Grandpa was chief electrician in the admin building and loved the company. Thank you for this great documentary!

My Dad worked at Studebaker around 1949-1951. He bought a brand new 1950 Champion also. Car of course long gone and Dad passed in 2019 at age 93! ❤

My grandmother, Ruth Keb, was a seamstress for Studebaker up until they closed. I remember pulling up to the big garage style doors and the employees all streaming out. I’m very proud of the fact she was part of this car company.

Pictures like the one at 26:30 have a haunting feeling about them if you think about the hundreds of people that toiled away in those walls and how they are mostly all gone now. What a great American story and how humble the beginnings were.

Nice documental. lot of memories there. Here at Colombia, my home town, my family had two Stud models. My uncle Joseph was the proud owner of a '50 or '51 pick up, reliable, tough, bulletproof truck, and my dad had a '61 Lark 6 cylinder model with 3 speed gear box. My first serious ride at the street was in this Lark. My very first car to realy drive. I was 13 years old. That`s wy a love this legendary brand name. Thanks, Studebaker, for ever.

I'm 65, I remember my Dad worked in the foundry until the plant closed. I remember on fridays the guyes would always go the the "rainbow" bar after they got off. It was a different time. We'd pick him up at the main entrance to plant one and drive down the Sample a block to the bar. Us kids would wait in the car a few hours eating chips and drinking bottles of coke. Crazy. Life changed drastically when that plant closed for our family and many others. I wonder sometimes how different my childhood would have been had Studebaker stayed open. Who knows.

First time I heard Stud E baker in this documentary I said to myself. "I'm gonna have to listen to this guy say Stud E baker for this entire thing" yep. I was right.

I grew up on U.S. 31 south. I remember the 3:30 pm traffic heading south after work and the car carriers full of Studebakers. South Bend became the up and coming city in the midwest. Those were the golden days of South Bend.

While a freshman at Notre Dame, fall of 1969 through May of 1970, I was able to visit the Studebaker plant. A few workers were still making Avanti. Sometime after Avanti was sold and moved to Ohio. South Bend is now in a transformation to new technology companies, aided by Notre Dame now investing in helping establish new ideas to build great products and jobs. ND along with South Bend developers are also transforming blighted neighborhoods. It's a beautiful city

Sad that such an industry has ended ,,, distinctive, beautiful and practical design !

Excellent Mr. Sabo ! You did a fine job! It was a very pleasant , relaxing, and very informative to watch. Probably the best Studebaker documentary I've every watched.!

But, as is common with some other cities, the leadership constructs a few feel good sites memorializing the company that actually made the city, while apparently ignoring the fact that MANUFACTURING is an activity that truly can provide the jobs and money which a city needs. Instead, short sighted cities around the country seem to be turning their noses up to manufacturing, which is one big reason that China has been eating our lunch! And, not everybody is suited for office jobs!

Are you the Vincent Consolo that edited this documentary that you say is "probably the best Studebaker documentary I've ever watched!"?

Excellent piece of work of a kind that should be repeated in format about other similar places of former industrial towns that have been consigned to history. It`s always sad when a large factory site closes not least because of the many, many people who suddenly find their futures looking bleak and hopeless.

Fascinating. My uncle bought a coupe in 1962 in SouthAfrica. Legends.

What a fantastic documentary. I was at the International Meet in 1983. Alot of great memories for a 17 year old at the time that drove his customised '52 on the Proving Ground track. What I get a kick out of is, for 40 years of listening to former employees speak, they refence their job at "StudebakerS. Always thought it was funny how they call it that. I do feel that Igntion Park is not an appropiate name. There should be named Studebaker Park in remeberance of where that land came from and respect to the family namesake and every employee that ever worked for them.

I worked for years, and retired in 2015 from, Manufacturing Technology Incorporated. MTI got its start in 1929 as a tool and die shop serving Studebaker. As the City of South Bend has done, as well as the surrounding communities, MTI evolved to become a technology leader in new industries after the demise of Studebaker. I have every confidence that South Bend will continue its studied growth, and become a technology hub as the years go by.

So great to see these wonderful people who were so devoted to a company that truly cared for them. I pray more companies today will see how important it is to care for the people who work for them.

Very, very nice video. Thank you.

When I was a student at the University of Notre Dame, a car-loving buddy and I visited the plant one evening......an authorized tour to say the least! There were three guys there, building an Avanti as a company benefit. We wandered round upstairs too. Interesting tour for an engineering student. It was only later I learned more about the history of the company.

In 1950, at the age of 27, my Dad had the wherewithal to purchase his first new vehicle. Growing up, he was convinced that Buick denoted a man of substance, and went to the dealership in Savannah to strike a deal. The Buick Special came with burlap-covered seats, no radio or heater...and the salesman wouldn't knock a nickle off the sticker. Frustrated, Dad visited Studebaker and found a bullet-nosed Champion Starlight coupe with cloth seats, hill-holder, heater, and radio for $50 less. Went back to Buick in an attempt to get five bucks off the sticker, showing the salesman the Champion invoice. Guy said "you just go ahead " Dad became a committed Studebaker man. Wonderful vehicles. One of the few times I ever saw him truly upset was the day they announced going out of business.

My father owned Studebakers in the '50s and '60s. He liked the cars, especially the Lark.

My Dad made camshafts for a while before he went to work for Bell Telephone. He brought home a couple of Studebakers like a couple of Hawks.

We were Mopar folks in the 50's and 60's, but my dad always liked Studebakers and wanted an Avanti! He thought that was a super cool car. When my dad came home from the war, his first car after coming home was a brand new Studebaker. He loved that car. Don't know the model name but I think it was a wagon. So sad all those great companies went belly up :-(

Thank you for this fascinating documentary tribute to Studebaker

Had the opportunity to tour the hand pushed Avanti assembly line sometime around 1979 or '80 with my dad who was a urethane supplier to Studebaker then. Fascinating bit of history to reflect on. My folks owned a couple of Presidents as I recall and grandfather had a red Hawk.

I was born in 1944, learned to drive in my mother's 1955 Studebaker champion. That car had the looks of a sports car, it was the most attractive car in our block, two tone greens made that car look better than any Chevy or Ford, including the 1955 Tbird. Not the best power performing car, it had a very modest flat head 6, very underpowered, the 1955 president had a 289 V8 and that was a tough one to race against. Loved and have great memories of those Studes. Great cars.

These are not dinosaur buildings, they are Americas history and a huge investment by a previous generation. They could easily have been repurposed to house a chip FAB, saved all the jobs and kept the tradition and neighborhood intact.

Greetings from the UK..thanks for a superb documentary..so sad that those skills have largely been lost..but what a gorgeous city..

Samuel Studybaker's tombstone (1794-1837) in South Bend's Bowman Cemetery is a clue to the historical pronunciation of the name. But people these days say 'Noder Dame', so here we are. I have a photo of the tombstone, but I don't think we can post photos here. Google it, and it comes up.

Stude E Baker? I've owned 6 very beautiful late model Stude's, and never heard it pronounced any other way than Stude A baker. South Bend is a small city, synonymous with Studebaker. That will NEVER change no matter how much they try to distance themselves. For their own future, they should embrace this incredible heritage. In my last visit, everything is gone but one or two buildings, the museum, and old rail depot. Otherwise, it looks like bombed out Dresden, or a flat Kansas field, with their tiny downtown in the distance. The SPC board decided to become an International Company in 1958 after discontinuing it's dominant partner Packard, and moving on to Mercedes-Benz, and getting out of the auto business permanently. Please! Comparing South Bend to Chicago, or NYC is laughable.

My family came from eastern europe. My ancestry there were blacksmiths, just around the same time the Studebaker brothers were blacksmiths building wagons, just like my ancestry. My grandpop who was in the war on the eastern front would talk positively about Studebakers. I feel a kin ship with Studebaker, I didnt understand when I was younger but in recent years when I read more about Studebakers history I began to feel how important Studebaker was. After ww2 Studebaker tried to make a connection with Mercedes which shows their dedication. It was a tragic day when Studebaker shut down, it almost makes me want to cry a little.

The Unions drove Studebaker out of the US and they relocated into Canada. My Uncle was a shop supervisor over one of the machine shop departments. The Unions were constantly causing problems for the company including intentional sabotage on assembly lines and work slow downs. Towards the end the work environment was very toxic. My Uncle was not at all surprised when the company finally called it quits and moved. Studebaker folding shop took South Bend very hard for they had milked the company for years for cash and freebies. Now a vast army of FORMER employees were out on their ass and a lot of them deserved it. Unions have their plusses but many minuses. They have the ability to cripple a company and that's what they did to Studebaker and paid the price. Very few of these ex-employees ever secured a new position with the pay, benefits and security they screwed up and lost. My Uncle drove a new Studebaker car every year he worked there trading in his old one. He told me that they were the most reliable car he ever owned, easy to work on and built to last. As a note: One of my Canadian work collogues was married to a Studebaker girl who was a direct descendent of the core family. Small world.

Why is the remaining factory building vacant still? It could be live-work space so SB could better retain its young, productive workforce, and attract more. Maybe the businesses located in such a building could be given tax-breaks to help as they start up (only small businesses can enter, and then grow out of). This is valuable asset.
