Studebaker started back in 1852 at South Bend, Indiana, building horse-drawn wagons. The 1950’s brochure said ‘Extra driver comfort in the roomy, big-vision Studebaker cab! You get easy-chair comfort, and the world’s finest ventilating system!’ This 2-ton tractor unit was ahead of its time, filled with many safety features and would have been seen daily on the US highways.
