It is my understanding that some of both the bodies and the engines were built and developed in Studebaker shops, however the workers were Pierce employees temporarily working there to bring out the new ‘eights’. The design was created quickly, but early designs were started while talks were still in progress between Pierce and Studebaker. Though some parts are interchangeable (very few, I understand) these engines are really different from each other. My comments come from careful reading PAS material-some factory original printings, and Otto’s remarks.
