807 Comments for Studebaker Stamping Plant

I found the information on your site stating that the plant is indeed in South Bend, Indiana. Thanks!

Ah, I found the writeup and answered my own question. Part of the Studebaker facility was torn down years ago and a nice modern jail was built on the location.

Oh hell, I am starting eBay auctions for these right now.

I hope you did not cut your fanny on the sharp parts.

Where is this plant located?

I find the assumptions that people make to be rather entertaining. New Old Stock engines? Yeah, how about no. Free engines? Yeah, how about trying to steal them. However, there are some people who seem to know a bit more than most on here. As many people have noted, these buildings were surely used by various companies for many purposes over the years. That is a pretty safe assumption to make. We are not looking at a room full of top secret or rare Ferrari engines that remained undiscovered prior to this photograph.

If these are Studebaker engines, then the Studebaker fans will grab them. They seem to keep a good eye on the happenings of the Studebaker plants and make a good effort to keep the important items.

I am thinking this plant must be located in South Bend, Indiana? I lived there for almost 35 years before moving to Cali recently. South Bend has been trying to demolish the Studebaker Corridor area of the city for many years. It has been a big eyesore to the area to say the least. However, the new Studebaker Museum opened recently and it seems a good number of people do a nice job preserving some of the history. Are these photographs from the South Bend Studebaker plant?

f1 engines from the laaaaaate egyptian era

u could probably crome that up and set it as a decoration piece

This picture is fanatical.

Seized maybe...totally rebuildable...absolutely! That would be an awesome project!

Hmmm....free engines anyone? :-p

Studebaker's seemed like good sturdy cars, my grampa drove one, says nothing but good things about it. A sad way for a great company to end...sitting there rotting. =(

WOW. This is what became of one of the great American car companies! I love this photo Motts!
