'Stude Service'

.

These cars had a monocoque aluminium body and a 725cc engine that produced 27 bhp. This was a four-cylinder engine with an overhead camshaft that was easily more highly tuned. This car, with a length of 12’ 6”, was 9 3/4 shorter than a VW Beetle and with a top speed of 75 mph was really dangerously fast.
This delivery vehicle is a standard Crosley underneath but it has had the rear seats removed to allow it to be used as a delivery van. This van, like the car version, dates from 1951.

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 model is the wrecker version.

The short turning radius of these ‘C.O.E.’ (cab-over-engine) models made for easier handling at docks, in narrow streets and for curb parking. The cabs were full width, roomy and comfortable with no projecting housing above the floor to crowd the driver.

In 1949 White made a further development to the WA and WB series of trucks and the WC range was born. This bonneted range was set to become one of White’s best-sellers during the 1950’s.
