Guess the Horseless Carrige Manufacturer

Featured Replies

Guess the manufacturer:

- One of their cars had a four piece rear window. (4 individual pieces of glass)

- In the early 1950s they won the "Fashion Academy Award".

- A post war vehicle made by this brand had front & rear fenders that were interchangeable.

- One of their most recognizable cars featured a twin-port grille & super aerodynamic nose.

- They made a car during the muscle car craze with a Fiberglass body & forced induction.

Duh, I dunno. Packard. :unsure:

Yeah... Buick61 seems to be right. Appears to be Studebaker...

And that is one sweet Stude. Studebaker started out making horse-drawn wagons and such, too, from what I foggily recall...

Yes, even the title of the thread was a little bit of a giveaway.

Studebaker was THE ONLY car manufacturer that started out

making horse drawn carriages and transitioned successfully

into the horseless kind.

It was the Familia concept. Never made it to production.

As far giving less info., well I want to make the trivia more

accesible to the forum. I'll try to make the questions

tougher then, a few times recently (Auto Union & Plymouth)

it took a while for the question to be answered correctly.

I guess I just never took notice. Interesting.
