Cars extremely close. Placards and parts of decorations jutting into every shot 
Studebaker was always a style-leader, often breaking away from the trends set by their competitors, starting in the early 1900s with their partnership with Garford Mfg. Corp in Elyria, OH to the Studebaker Hawks and Avantis in the 1960s. This set exemplifies that trend over time. I was hoping you might post an image of the "which way is it going" 1950 Studebaker Commander, but there's only so much room. Would you mind if I posted an image of a 1907 Studebaker Garford on this posting to "round out the set"

Yes South Bend is not what it used to be. In the past Singer sewing machine cabinets were built there. Johnson Outboard had a plant in town and were tested on the Saint Joseph River. Bendix was huge, Oliver, and the list goes on.
Big changes sure took place 😒😒

While I hate to sound greedy I would very much love for you to write that check and have them delivered to Eastern Idaho in my name. Count on me to actually put them on the road from time to time too. They are just beautiful. I am sending a Million thank you's Joe for being so kind.
As some prison inmates used to say, You are all that and a bag of chips. Definitely a good thing.

I was born & raised in the South Bend/Elkhart area, and come up from Texas for family visits regularly. STILL haven't taken the time to see the Studebaker Museum. :( I'll have to plan a trip & see it! Thanks for posting the pics ... did see a few sweet Studebaker examples some proud local owners brought to a summer cruise in Elkhart...:)

Looks like a ‘59 Lark with the 259 v8 (the little red hawk emblem on the grill says that) and a ‘58 President. Good looking cars!

Joe, this is the 1907 Studebaker-Garford Model H Landaulet Town Car I mentioned.
Garford Mfg. Co. of Elyria, OH built luxury cars for Studebaker Corp. of South Bend IN between 1906 and 1913. These upper-tier cars were targeted toward well-to-do ladies and were intended for short trips in absolute luxury. This particular model was ordered by Mrs Bertha Palmer, Chicago, IL It was painted in her favorite shades of Amaranthine and Heliotrope with brass accents and fine-crafted cherry wood.
I can imagine Mrs. Palmer telling her chauffeur not to park next to any Ford Model As where you also could have any color you wanted as long as it was black.

What’s interesting about the Garford is that the driver was under roof as well as the passenger. So many old cars made the driver set out in the weather.

You're right. Never noticed that. A lot of the old touring cars were convertibles too. Learn something new every day. Thanks for pointing that out. Apparently Mrs. Palmer was very gentile as well.
