"Reduce Costs, Haul More with this Low-Priced 2 Ton Truck" Studebaker Advertisement, circa 1932
Add to SetSummary
Studebaker had built horse-drawn commercial vehicles from the company's founding in 1852, but its entry into the motorized commercial vehicle market was more gradual. Studebaker's first significant heavy-duty trucks debuted for 1931. The company continued to offer various light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks into 1964 -- just two years before Studebaker ended motor vehicle production altogether.
