1953 Studebaker Starlight Coupe
"The largest Vehicle builers in the world" is what the Studebaker brothers called their horse-drawn wagon firm. They developed their first horseless vehicle in 1897, though mainly they built bodies for other cars. In 1902 Studebaker built their first car at the urging of John Studebaker's son-in-law, Fred Fish. The electric was designed by none other than Thomas Edison.

Though the future of Studebaker was prosperous for some time, the company closed it's doors in the 1960s.
