World War II era Studebaker
This example of Studebaker’s 1941- 48 M-series truck was discovered along old Route 66 in Santa Rosa, N.M. One of the company's most successful line of trucks, it could be purchased in 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and 1 1/2 ton and 2 ton versions. First produced in November 1940, it saw extensive action during WW II. It sported a more aerodynamic shape than most trucks of the time. (Photo by Jim Meachen)
