| Tweet | ||
The Studebaker brothers, Henry and Clem, operated a blacksmith and wagon building shop in South Bend, Indiana, in the 1850s. Their horse-drawn carriages saw duty in both the Civil War and World War I. Carriage production overlapped their entry into the auto business, but ended in 1919. The first Studebaker cars were electric and production began in 1904 with the Model C petrol car. Studebaker acted as selling agents for cars built to their order.
Studebaker's more expensive offerings, such as the Model G shown, were produced by the Garford Company. This is the largest and costliest model, offered at $3,200. Powered by a four-cylinder, thirty-five horsepower engine feeding a three-speed differential, on the rear axle. The G also used dual exhausts, flared front fenders, an I beam front axle, mechanical valves and mechanical oiler lubrication. This car has been fully restored and is currently being toured.
