Fun fact, Studebaker could trace it's heritage to the Conestoga wagons that brought many of the settlers to the West (think Oregon Trail), and in the '50's they had a station wagon model called the Conestoga.
Stude was a pretty damn innovative company, they had some really cool cars, like the Hawk and Golden Hawk, (and some think the Avanti was pretty, I never saw it, but you could get one with a supercharger).
Definitely a respected thread in the fabric of American Automotive history.
