Studebaker Motor Company History

In 1852 the Studebaker brothers of South Bend, Indiana opened a humble blacksmith shop and began building wagons. During the Civil War they supplied horse-drawn vehicles to the Union Army and eventually became the largest wagon builder in the world. At the turn of the century, Studebaker began building bodies for several electric car manufacturers before offering their own electric car, the Studebaker Stanhope, in 1902.

Experiments with gasoline cars led to an association with the Garford Company in 1904, and the EMF Company on 1908. By 1911, Studebaker held second-place in automobile sales in the United States, beaten only by Ford.

Studebaker discontinued its electric cars in 1912, and in 1913 concentrated on producing a six-cylinder vehicle.

When Studebaker produced its last vehicle on March 17, 1966, they had been in business for 114 years.
