The Studebaker History Corner is a collection of anecdotes and short stories covering the entire span of Studebakerâs history from 1852 through 1966. Including both the famous and the obscure, it provides perspective, adds detail to existing histories, and entertains with facts you havenât heard before, accompanied by authenticated and corrected versions of some of the stories you most likely have heard.For instance, the Studebaker History Corner includes an article on the Studebaker Electrics, setting them in the context of the rest of the electric auto industry. Studebaker, we learn, was an important manufacturer, but neither the largest nor the longest-lived. The book also includes the story of the Selden patent and Studebakerâs place in it, the fascinating story of a theft from the Studebaker administration building, the history of Studebakerâs unionization, an account of the relationship between Studebaker and Trans International Airlines and much more.
