Reply To: What would the never produced 1934 Studebaker-based P-A’s have looked like?

Aero time.

Definitely on the minds of Studebaker and Pierce-Arrow in these years, it’s cruel irony that neither pioneer enjoyed the success of later copycats.

My attempts aren’t that good, more illustrative of general mindset. Studebaker initially seemed to prefer a fairly continuous roof sweep except for slight widow’s peak, four side windows rather than six, and four little windows enabling rear visibility. Image sits on 133 wb sans running boards. Rear skirts complete the look.

1934-5 Land Cruiser was less successful than likely hoped, and expensive one piece roofs drove decision making for 1936.
