The Studebaker Corporation was an American automobile manufacturer founded in 1852. Originally a wagon maker, the company transitioned to producing cars in the early 20th century. Studebaker became known for its innovative designs and quality vehicles, gaining popularity during the 1920s and 1930s. Despite its early success, the company faced financial difficulties after World War II. By the late 1960s, Studebaker ceased automobile production, marking the end of an era for the once-prominent brand. Today, it is remembered for its contributions to the automotive industry and its unique models.
