As a kid up until the age of three or four before moving over to Elkhart, I grew up in South Bend. Seems to me from memory that any family that lived in South Bend that had two vehicles, one was a Studebaker. The other was a GM, Ford, or Chrysler product, but the second was a Studebaker.

Next day, flipped around. A few years ago I went out of my way to drive past the old factory, which I am sure has since been torn down, and the area was not a good one. Well run down, impoverished. I pulled over and tried to imagine what it might have been like to build and assemble cars and trucks in a four story building.
