Here are a couple of images in my Dad's files taken at the Chicago auto show at the International Amphitheater in about 1950. Studebaker was a client of my Dad's and my Grandfather was an Assistant Chief Engineer at Diamond-T trucks which probably explains why my father had these photographs.
Diamond-T was headquartered here in Chicago and Studebaker was located in South Bend, Indiana ...... not too far away.

You are all welcome ! For a variety of reasons, I wish I could travel back in time. In the meantime, replica scale automobiles and trucks and old photographs will stand in nicely.

IMO, Studebaker commercial trucks were handsome rigs. I love that last pic... you can see the "tire dressing" wasn't quite completely applied to that RF wheel. I would love to have a 1/18 scale replica of that truck!
