a. Princess Summerfallwinterspring

 

[Pappy]

Studebaker.

 

[AZ Jim]

I had two Studebakers in 1952, a champion and a commander. They were a fairly good car but the "couldn't tell if it was coming or going" was an exaggeration, but I do remember people saying that then.

 

[Pappy]

I always like them. My buddy had one and drove the heck out of it.

 

[AZ Jim]

The Commander had plenty of punch. The champion not so much.

 

[Pappy]

The Commander was a V-8, right Jim. Most were straight 6's.

The used car dealers called them "Pencil Sharpeners". LOL
