People did buy and drive Studebakers and Kaisers. I remember through the 40's and 50's there were many Studebakers on the road, and l liked the Lark. My grandfather's best buddy from the L&N shops showed up in a Kaiser at the farm gate, and my grandfather, a "Chevie Man" from the 1920's, was not impressed. I can't remember if it had painted vs. chrome bumpers, but it was a special, trimless bargain model. My grandmother's brother was a telegrapher in Mich. who drove Hudsons and swore by them until he got one of the last ones with the unperfected Packard V-8.
