1949 Studebakers

sc
In 1947, Studebaker became the first American automobile manufacturer to introduce new designs after World War II.  Other companies were just updating the 1942 models that were last produced before the war.  The 1947 designs stayed in production through 1949, and the Hemmings blog posted a Studebaker brochure from that year.
