Studebaker is remembered above all for the com-pany's spectacular failure in the 1960s, and too often the mechanical ingenuity and stylish design of Studebaker's many successful cars are forgotten. Illustrated Studebaker Buyer's Guide seeks to change all that. Every Studebaker car and truck from 1902 to the current Avanti II is examined with a wealth of detailed text and photographs, including production figures, model descriptions and specifications. Consider Studebaker's success: The Studebaker President, truly a better road car than many Packard and Pierce-Arrow models. The great line of Hawks, with their advanced, rakish styling from Bob Bourke and Raymond Loewy. And the Avanti, a muscle car more potent than the GTO. Noted automotive historian Richard M. Langworth provides an in-depth history of these cars and the Studebaker truck counterparts, examining each mod-el's pluses and faults, and the current boom in Studebaker collectibility among car enthusiasts.
