Default Brand X test

Interesting brand X test of model A era car.

I think I will sell my model A and get one of those. It should do much better in the Destruction Derby.

I wouldn't buy a Studebaker. They keep falling over and running into things!
So much for those who say we shouldn't wear seat belts in a car of that age because the body will come off the chassis. I've never paid the slightest attention to that argument.

I didn’t realize that crash testing took place so long ago. Thanks for sharing.

It looks like crash testing started in 1934 by GM.

The high end Studebakers were true classic cars, right up there with Cadillac, Lincoln, and the others. When I was growing up in the 50's a neighbor had a 29 or 30 Studebaker roadster that was really neat. Long hood, low windshield, side mounts, and I think a straight 8 engine. He also had an early Overland touring car (circa 1910) that I also thought was really neat.

Thanks for sharing.

A co worker had a torpedo nose he keeps trying to sell me. I always liked their cars, the pride of South Bend.
