Studebakers & their engines

One thing you will soon find out is that Studebaker engines, both the Flathead six cylinder and especially

the OHV V8 are extremely well-build while being considered the best American engines ever made.

Over the past 25 years I have been to many Car Meets where Studebakers were on Display. Here are

some of the stock and sometimes not so stock engines that I have seen installed in our favourite brand
