807 Comments for Studebaker Stamping Plant

After reading up on the link to the old pictures of the plant, AND looking at these pictures a second time.... more of this stuff is making sense to me. :-)

So much mystery! LOL I wish we could all get a guided foot tour from someone who used to work there back then.

Oh lordy Chrissie, I hope it's not THIS bad???

Oh okay, then it could be a conveyor.

I would think so too Psych!

After seeing the link Motts left on the opening page (to go look at the old pictures of the plant in operation) this tool reminds me of the grinders they used on the car bodies. See the link below and scroll down to "Metal Finishing".

Me too, Chrissie!

Actually now that you say that about a partition.....after seeing the rest of the shots in here I think you could be right Motts!

i bet that there is at least ONE motor amongst them, that will work!

this reminds me of the subway system here in Philly.... its just as clean as our subway tunnels! lol

is that a fence on the ground? it looks like a fence that fell over.

wow!... amazing!... i would love, absolutely LOVE to have been w/ you that day to see this place.. though i probably would have been caught. I'd be too busy standing in one spot, and gawking and staring to know to run away!

rumor has it these are multi fuel "duece-and-a-half" motors for vietnam era army trucks

That's it!!! The 'Silver Hawk' is similiar except it was a coupe instead od a hardtop, and in '58, there was even a Packard Hawk!!!

I was hoping you would get around to this place. I'm very excited to see this!
