About this product

Product Information

The Studebaker history is a short one, and a sad one at that, but inside Studebaker, you'll find a meticulously crafted history of the early automobile. Studebaker began business as a builder of covered wagons. By 1921 they were the number four automaker in the nation. By 1932 they were bankrupt. And for Studebaker, one of the most remarkable stories in American automotive history, that was only the beginning. Studebaker: America's Most Successful Independent Automaker tells the full and fabulously colorful history of this icon of the American automotive scene. Rife with triumph and tragedy, brilliant moves and boneheaded decisions, Studebaker's decades of building cars makes for a tempestuous saga featuring some of the more interesting characters in the twentieth-century business world. Above all, the story features cars that, for countless Americans, truly defined driving: not just the Champion, which rocketed the company back to the top in 1939, or the 1950s Raymond Loewy-designed Starliner, deemed a "work of art" by the Museum of Modern Art, but also the Hawks and Larks that so many drivers loved. As the book traces Studebaker's fortunes from success to crisis to merger and back, it also dwells with loving photographic attention on the vehicles, from the first electric car to the last Avanti.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!

Ok, but has many errors and omissions !
The more I learn about Studebaker (I grew up in them from infancy till age 22.) the more I find I didn't know. Makes me wonder what is fact qnd what is speculation, folklore, etc. this book is a good value at 1/3 to 1/2 list, but omits many of the cars that defined Stidebaker from WW II on when I was around. That makes the rest suspect. Too many people who write these things, etc were not there. We too often don't realize the significance of things till later. My dad was an Artist of note in-his field. In his 80's he still knew more about those he associated with than any book holds. I found many who have serious misconceptions about who, what, where, when, etc. I am very glad I got him to type his part of the story out - poorly by chance as I wanted to know more. Ithe the Sudebakers had ... The more I learn about Studebaker (I grew up in them from infancy till age 22.) the more I find I didn't know.

Ithe the Sudebakers had kept a journal;, etc, we'd know so much more about them. so, if ther's anything significan to you, get it recorded in some way or other! My dad's book reads as though he's just talking to you. Scholorly works are often a tough slog to read and many contain a coutlessdetails that are not pertinent. The phto of the 55 President HT on the cover of this book is not of a high water mark car, though it is a beauty save for the poorly done body work oon the lower door and rocker panel. Was it th best they could find?

Well-written Book, lots of finance and corporate maneuvering, not much on Studebaker trucks
This book presents the long history of Studebaker from their origin as a wagon and carriage maker in 1852 to the sad demise of their car and truck production in 1966. A surprising amount of description is devoted to finances, including a nearly year-by-year report of the stock dividend paid, net profit, and the cash-on-hand, but those factors are very critical to the Studebaker story, especially the post-war years. It appears that Studebaker management always paid a dividend, even in years where the corporation lost money. It seems surprising to me that the yearly net profit versus gross revenue is always shockingly low. The struggle to merge Studebaker with one or more other struggling post-war independents (Nash, Hudson, Packard, Willys, etc) is also detailed. One important factor ...

One important factor in the Studebaker story which is not dealt with nearly enough is Studebaker trucks, they are mentioned very briefly and spotty.
