807 Comments for Studebaker Stamping Plant

Did you know that streets also used to be made from wooden blocks? There are only a handful left in the whole world. We have one small street here in Pittsburgh still in use made out of wood blocks. I have to go and see it sometime. It is over on the East end of the city somewhere, I forget where. There was a whole article on it in the paper a few years back.

those are pecan block, and they are frequently used in stamping plants for their ability to absorb shock and for toughness

I remember when I was little and seeing those things at the dry cleaner, I was ALWAYS thinking how I could sneak back there and how much fun it would be to catch a ride! lol

Perhaps the busses and the motors have a connection?

If you stood there when it came down you'd be very impressed.

My sister looked at these with me on here last night and was in awe of how identical these are to the army trucks' engines she works with in the national guard.

I did not even notice the busses..interesting.

I would LOVE to go through all of those files. Has to be some amazing piece of automotive history in there.

No, the company isn't involved with the auto industry.

As I look at these engines again I agree with Bill F. These were pulled from service. Motts, was the last business in here rehabbing old motors?

coby, oh my gosh you are right and I love the movie christine, gave me nightmares fo weeks!!!!

looks like some futuristic bunch of robots facing off to do battle!!!

If this isn't a wallpaper shot than I dont know what is!!!!

Looks like a scene from that Stephen King horror movie Christine, cept instead of a plymouth fury flying thru the glass itll be some old studebaker golden hawk!

The blue of the windows in the top corner and centre of the shot break it up perfectly! Not to mention the unbeleivable contrasts the whole shot holds, amazing....nuff said!
