This Car is a Stud

I remember as a child riding with my uncle Nile in one of these not so attractive cars. This is a 1951 Studebaker. Note the suicide doors.

My understanding is that these fifty-ish models were designed to imitate the WWII fighter planes. The nose comes to a point where an imaginary propeller would be.

Years later the 57, 58, 59, and 60 American automobiles had rear fins like the new rockets being built. (John Kennedy's space program)

My Uncle Warren owned an early 50's pickup. It is obvious that the people have spoken with their pocket books leaving Studebaker in the dust.
