Studebaker Commercials - Duke University

What a find!

"Nearly 50 television commercials created for Studebaker from the D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles advertising agency archives held in the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History at the Duke University Libraries. The TV ads were digitized from the 16mm preservation film prints in 2009, as part of the AdViews Collection."

1955 - Studebaker Advertisement - SacBee

"Studebaker ... so much better made ... worth more when you trade.

In looks alone, Studebaker is far, far ahead - the winner of 34 important Style Awards."

The Studebaker dealer in the ad, Chester Palmer, 515 Riverside Ave, Roseville, CA, is no longer a building; it's an empty lot. Love the ad though!

Many thanks to Eichlerific for this ad.
