This is the best looking Studebaker design I've ever seen... looks like a '41 Willys

Nice rear bumper, the v shape and rounded ends look good

Simple and good looking hood looks just like a Willys American, and the dual grills look better than the 40 Willys, but not quite as good as a 41 Willys grill

One bent grill piece

This look anything like a Studebaker to you? I don't think so. But that's what all the

manufacturer stuff on it says it is. Better proportions than the business coupe Dodge too.

the shark nose '38 Graham, quite a departure from contemporary design of it's time

Source of the images, and a good read about the Graham, and why it's nose was so funny looking: http://www.carlustblog.com/2010/07/graham-sharknose.html#more and http://reference.findtarget.com/search/Graham-Paige/

Awesome artist, a lot of talent! Andrey Gusev

1936 Henderson at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet

the newly restored bike was unveiled at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet. The bike belongs to Frank Westfall from Syracuse, NY. According to some info I found online, the bike was originally built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936 and is based on a 1930 K.J Henderson.

I read somewhere in the post that the gauges were from a Pierce Arrow

Larry Shinoda designed vehicles

door handle design on woodies, a blend of natural grain and machined metal... quite a contrast in many ways

Raymond Loewy (leader of AMC designs) and his custom 59 Caddy

Ray was very important in American design, he'll be remembered as one of the most important industrial designers for his contributing work iconic contributions to modern life were the Shell logo, the Greyhound bus, the Lucky Strike package, Coldspot refrigerators and the Studebaker Avanti.

At 15 he designed an aircraft that won an award, and was immediately put into production, after being wounded in action (WW1) and decorated with a medal, he boarded a ship for America with only 50 bucks.

During World War II, American government restrictions on in-house design departments at Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler prevented official work on civilian automobiles. Because Loewy's firm was independent of the fourth-largest automobile producer in America, no such restrictions applied. This permitted Studebaker to launch the first all-new postwar automobile in 1947, two years ahead of the "Big Three".
