Studebaker had a nice lightweight V-8 of their own. Andy Granatelli just missed 200 mph at Bonneville using a double-supercharged version.
i’ve had a passing curiosity about packard as phila had a downtown plant (now luxe lofts and apartments). i never pursuit it as i’m not into cars. now i’ll give the book a whirl.
thank you tuckerfan, for a great thread.
Last I heard, Studebakers held more land speed records at Bonneville than any other make.
Yeah, and Chrysler dominated NASCAR for a long time, but it hasn’t helped them.
