Item 189: The Studebaker Dictator

Entered by polygon on Wed Nov 26 01:12:13 2003:

I just learned that Studebaker had a model called the Dictator.

They discontinued it in 1937.

No wonder they didn't survive the New Deal...

Toyota made a van called the Masterace.  At least it wasn't VW.

There was a Hudson Wasp in the 1950's.

Was the term in use then?

According to www.m-w.com, the term "WASP" for "White Anglo-Saxon 
Protestant" originated in 1957.  Maybe the Hudson Wasp was discontinued 
as a result?  I really have no idea.

The Hudson car company was basically out of business by 1957.

(Amazingly, there is still a Hudson dealership in Ypsilanti.)

Re #7: I noticed that.  Can you actually go in and buy a (presumably
used) Hudson?

The Ypsi Hudson dealership was used for location shooting in the
movie "Tucker: The Man and His Dreams".
