Oh man, that's hilarious! The style is what drew me, too -- I am obviously biased, but I like it more than the Ford and Willys front ends. Ramond Loewy was a fantastic designer who drew some real classics for Stude -- this was his first. Per Wikipedia: "Among his designs were the Shell, Exxon, TWA and the former BP logos, the Greyhound Scenicruiser bus, Coca-Cola vending machines, the Lucky Strike package, Coldspot refrigerators, the Studebaker Avanti and Champion, and the Air Force One livery." He also drew for Hupmobile.
Sorry to hear we lost you to Texas! Thanks for reading.
