A 1940 Hupmobile Skylark, their effort to re-use the old Cord body dies to gain a new model to sell. Hupp managed to buy the dies but couldn’t afford to produce the car, which is where Graham-Paige came in. The Skylark name later appeared on several models from Buick.
Since we’re doing defunct makes today, we might as throw this 1st-gen Saturn SL1 at you. Decent cars, if poky with only 100 horses, but with terrific dealerships. The plastic bodywork was a big leap, but we’ve noticed that it sometimes gets brittle as it ages.
A 1932 Rockne, a budget make under the Studebaker umbrella. Made for only two years, this was named after famed Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne.
It’s a 1929 DuPont Model G, one of 537 built during their existence. These were expensive, high-style autos, but their survival rate is quite low.
It’s a 1930 Pierce-Arrow, in two-window Club Sedan form. This was during the five-year period Studebaker controlled the company.
A 1929 Stutz Vertical 8, in three-window sedan form.
A 1929 Cord L-29 three-window sedan, showing off its front-wheel-drive hardware. Compared to the other sedans of the day, this was actually quite low.
