Studebaker Car Club

The recent anniversary of JM Studebaker’s death in 1917 marks 105 years since the last of the five Studebaker brothers had passed away.

JM was an entrepreneurial visionary and the car club friendships and enjoyment of these vehicles we share now, can be attributed back to the drive and initiative he shared with his brothers all that time ago.

Had the Studebaker company not made the progression from horse-drawn wagons to automobiles, I wonder what vehicles we may otherwise be collecting, restoring and driving today?

JM’s influence and direction was revered within the company well after his passing, with his likeness used for the series of employee service pins that are now collector pieces.

Safe & Happy motoring
