The fascinating history of American cars . . .one story at a time.
It seems we have been finding Studebaker trucks everywhere we look lately, and here is yet another, albeit not in very prime condition. This is one of the 2R Series trucks, produced from 1949-1953, and they were a wonderful post-war success for Studebaker. They are great-looking trucks when they are complete and are always popular at car shows.
We do have a nice grille for one of these Studebakers in our inventory, so feel free to contact us if you are in the market.
My husband and I took a drive to hit an estate sale the other day. We were hoping to find some cool old stuff, but we were not expecting to find cool old car and truck stuff. Imagine our joy when we pulled into the yard and found it full of Studebaker trucks. The bunch included a couple of 1949-53 2R-series trucks which could look like this one if restored. There were also a couple of the older M-series trucks and what looks to me like a 1954. They were not part of the estate sale that day and will instead be part of an auction in April. I know where we’ll be on April 11th!
