Focus:

Studebaker automobiles were notable features of the American scene from the 1930s to the 1960s. Show Me Lines celebrates the company that was often ahead of its times with the Studebaker Collection, developed in cooperation with John McCall, a dedicated Studebaker collector and restorer, and Dale Rush, of Blair Line.

John's diorama of a Studebaker dealer features Walther's Walschlager Motors along with various autos from EKO and Alloy Forms. A 28' trailer from Show Me Lines delivers parts and accessories.

Blair Line's newly released Studebaker billboard sign identifies the dealership. You can readily expand the service area of the dealership with a Pike Stuff kit or modular units from DPM. Then add people and a tow truck and watch it come to life.

Studebaker started out in South Bend, Indiana in the 1800s as a wagon builder, making many of the covered wagons that carried settlers West of the Mississippi. Served by both the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads, the company leased boxcars to carry parts and deliver their wagons, and later, automobiles. We've reproduced two such boxcars, one a 36' truss rod wood car, the second a more modern 40' steel car.

Also from Show Me Lines is STUD03, the ready-to-run 28' trailer. It is a great stand-alone model or add a tractor... maybe put a pair on one of Athearn's 50' trailer flat cars. Trailers are $8.00 each.

 

 

Blair Line just added a new sign for Studebaker fans. Easy to assemble, the laser-cut sign is available in two sizes, suitable for N, HO, S or O scale buildings. The smaller signs are $11.99, while the larger sign is $13.99.
