Book design for the general public, although mass-produced and much more affordable, was similarly innovative and attentive to questions of design.

From Horses to Horsepower- Studebaker Helped Move a Nation

From Horses to Horsepower: Studebaker Helped Move a Nation


Studebaker's long standing commitment to quality and value made it one of the automotive giants prior to the Great Depression, often being among the first manufacturers to introduce new technology or safety features, such as four-wheel hydraulic brakes in 1925. Barely surviving the 1930s, Studebaker resumed its innovative heritage with some of the first new designs to follow World War II. Postwar Studebaker automobiles, largely due to their association with Raymond Loewy, are still considered to be classics of modern industrial design.
