It was a short-lived marriage from 1958-59. Don't think it lasted into 1960. I'm so glad that Brooklin made 1955 Studebaker and 1957 Packard sedans (custom-made here by John Roberts) and Neo followed suit with a terrific 1956 Studebaker and a smashing '58 Rambler. Here's my 1959 dealership that features a Lark in the showroom, a beautiful Matrix '58 Adenauer MB and a Brooklin '54 Conestoga (John White custom). The Neo '57 Turnpike Cruiser is an oddity amongst the orphans here.

Studebaker jinxed two luxury brands, Packard and Pierce-Arrow. Mercedes jinxed Studebaker and Chrysler.

Randall, I hope you post more pictures of your dioramas and especially repost the ones from the old site. Thanks.

Thanks, Fellas, for your kind replies. David, I like that ad with all three makes. I think I will use it for the showroom. Bob, I'm glad you like my books. It was fun putting them together. Jay, at some point I would like folks to have access to some of the diorama photos. John, always enjoyable seeing the many photos of the models in your collection. All the best to you.
