I miss Studebaker. I had a few relatives who drove them and I always liked the cars. They were distinctive.

Thank you!

Good history, but the ending could mention that 1966 wasn't 'the end' in that one model, the Avanti, stayed in production by a successor corporation (Avanti Motors) until 1985 in the same plant in South Bend and then in different facilities until 2007.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thank you and true the Avanti continued on, but as you mentioned under new ownership. Thanks for watching

[@kena9595]

A lot of good history and vintage videos. But I couldn't finish watching it because of the moving color banners you inserted between clips. It was to distracting. But thanks for collecting all the information.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Sorry about that. Wasn't my intention to be a distraction. Good to know for my future videos

[@DeWoodyard]

Narrator! Boosted and boasted are 2 different words with different pronunciations.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Not if you’re from the south, they aren’t 😎

[@jean-paulgrenon3831]

Strangely enough ..I notice that models prior to the mid 50’s were soo ugly that they have purposefully discarded those ugly ducklings …..that is why they did not last ………bull crap…

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Ok
