The Studebaker's of the late Forties offered some interesting styling to say the least. Often times people would ask, "Which way is it going?". Though the 1947 was a still calm compared to what would follow, it still gave buyers and onlookers a car that was unique and different. Today, they are pretty rare (if at all) on the collector scene, but certainly would draw a crowd if one appeared at an old car show.
I was only 5 years old in 1956 when we lived on Sims Street in St. Paul, but I do remember old Mr. Ferguson in the house behind us having one similar to this '47 style. And even at that young age, I recall the car being different looking than most others in the neighborhood. LOL, and the other thing I remember that I learned from my Dad much later is that "old Mr. Ferguson" as everyone called him, was only 50 years old. To me he looked OLD.

Really enjoyed this one George. You're right, we don't get to see much of this year Studebaker.

Sadly, we don't get to see Studebakers of any year very often.

Billy Joel remembers the Studebaker in his 1989 release “We Didn’t Start Tye Fire”
Steve Miller sings of “goin for broke” in a 53 Studebaker in “Going To Mexico” (1970)

@frank, THANKS good to know. Seems cars and music have went to together often since the last century.
