Around 1965 I had a 1953 Studebaker. Beautiful ahead of its time looking car paid $100. The engine blew up on the way to school one day. Left it never saw it again

Just curious - Which engine did it have? The V8's were pretty decent engines,as I recall - the six cylinders,not so much....

@@frankgiaquinto1571 i was told it was a packard engine but it was a v8 so maybe not. It ran great until that day. Buy the way it was an x show car with a built in. Fancy cabinet in the trunk and no lye rolled and pleated wheel wells. I only had it for 2 or 3 weeks but it was a looker

Loewy didn't design the '53-'55 models. Bob Bourke was the lead designer. Loewy was quick to take credit for it.

I had a 1950 Studebaker Champion.... It had over drive, and I set the over drive up so it was on demand in all gears. It also had the hill holder brake system. I loved the fact that the spinner in the nose could be removed and replaced with a head light bucket. (in the winter my dimmer switch would freeze to the floor! So I would leave it in low beam, and put the bucket in the nose and use it for the high beam! .....So I had a 6 speed forward, and 2 speed reverse, and all the light I would need!

He says "the ugly slab sided GT Hawk" his opinion obviously cause I know when the gt leaves my garage and to the car shows it gets more attention then any of my other Studebaker models I have ..

The other designer he was referring to was Brooke Stevens which I think did a great job especially considering the cost and design parameters he had to work with

After having the "Bullet Grill" it was a mistake to take away the grill on the Avanti. Studebaker should have kept the "Bullet" grill and put it on every car making it their Symbol. Like a Hood ornament, only better. More competition is always better. But I guess we get that wil foreign car companies these days. Shame Studebaker was around longer, or even to today. Their cars were pretty unique. Sounds like they were making much money on trains, and bottle machines etc. Maybe that was their problem, they "diversified" too much instead of focusing on a couple key markets.

3:53 Loewy didn't design the 'Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawks of 1962-'64. That was an extensive redesign of the '56-'61 Hawk models bu Brooks Stevens, "The Seer Who Made Milwaukee Famous". Loewy assembled the team of Bob Andrews, John Ebstein, and Tom Kellogg to design the 1963 Studebaker Avanti. The Avanti was a true masterpiece, no exaggeration that it was the fastest production car in history up to that time (29 Bonneville speed records, many standing into the twenty-first century), and the most beautiful.

I always wondered how the same person could have designed the 53 Coupe and the Avanti. It made a lot more sense when I realized they were designed by two different people, neither of them Loewy.
