...I had forgotten that Mercedes-Benz automobiles were sold in the US by Studebaker-Packard and serviced by selective dealerships thereof.

When Studebaker was a client of my Dad's, I remember hearing about a tie-in with Mercedes-Benz automobiles. A very interesting grouping there that I think was just applicable in North America.

Your memory is solid & 100% Mike! I took this from a large catalogue (European spelling) and up at the top of the first pair of pics, I cropped the image to include the words, "American Market".
