Description: This book, a great read, takes the Studebaker from Connestoga wagons through electric cars, then petrol powered models and, with the help of military contracts in WWI, America`s number 4 car builder in 1921. By 1932 they were bankrupt. As war broke out again, a new range of cars took them back to the top. More military contracts saw the company thrive during WWII, and the new models in 1947 were a huge success. the roller coaster ride continued and by the early 1960s, Studebaker was no longer a car manufacturer. Here is the whole story, including baffling corporate decisions, glaring errors and amazing successes.
