58L-Y8 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Not just any 1942 model but the top-of-the-line Studebaker President Eight Skyway Land Cruiser Sedan. At $1,276 fob South Bend, under the Raymond Loewy Associates design consultancy lead by Virgil Exner, the clean elegant styling themes of the Cadillac 60 Special were made available to medium-priced car buyers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not saying anything out loud. Just quietly gossiping amongst themselves while the chauffeur stands next to the car. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that era you sat on a car rather than in it. Btw note the size of that front sprocket - a sure sign that it is geared for speed, maybe 80-90 mph/1,000rpm. This is the 'Heroic age'. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many seeing this will never think of that unless you have ridden in a car of that era ( and lack of fenders, doors, etc) the driver had a steering wheel to hold on to to be somewhat "secure" the riding mechanic usually nothing. I have been in the riding mechanic seat on several early pre WWI cars ( Mercer type 35, chain drive Simplex and Locomobile all of considerable horsepower) and to see the ground go past you in a blur while knowing that a good bump in the road would send you flying out of the car can be a test to your stamina.

It might be a 1913 Studebaker, last year for gas lamps on them. Also note, the driver can see the thermometer in the Motometer!
