The science of horn tones, who'da thunk it? If they did that documentary today, we wouldn't be able to understand the language, unless they spoke Canadian.... I have been an automobile lover since I could talk, thank you, SeaBreeze, for finding that! Buy the way, the future is here!!!

Yes, but the 1953 Studebaker Starlight Coupe was the styling statement of the decade.
It was deigned by famed industrial designer Raymond Leowy, who also designed the Coke Bottle, Streamlined Steam Locomotives, and other world-recognized creations.
That was also the year that Studebaker introduced their 120HP V8 engine!
Studebaker began its corporate life as the builder of Covered Wagons in the 19th century.

Those were the days of the Packard, the Hudson, the Studebaker, and the Nash.
We had a 1937 Packard Six, a 1928, 1947, and 1949 Hudson, a 1938 Studebaker, and a 1934 Nash.
I learned to drive in the Studebaker at age 13.

Those "vintage" cars all seem so modern compared to the cars of the 1930's and 1940's that I remember!
