Where did the Stude Plant move to in Canada?

Hamilton, Ontario...is that what you mean? BP

Thanks. I hate it when I draw blanks!!!

Wasn't the plant there since the 1940's?

Nope - just Avanti's. Black ones, with round headlight frames. And the plant moved to Vancouver. :)

There was a large, square Hummer like, Studebaker SUV at the NYC international auto show last year, I wonder who built it?

That's it, the XUV. Is it build on a GM chassis, like the convertible, as well? Which one? If not whose chassis is being used?

Neither...it's apparently 'on the shelf' indefinitely, since the entire company was up for sale.

BTW...the Avanti isn't being made on the Camaro chassis anymore...they've switched over to the Mustang setup since GM dis-continued the Camaro/Firebird line two years ago.

Bob (I like the Monte Carlo setup of the late 80's better anyway! )

XUV is on a Ford chassis. The Avanti is now on a Mustang platform (after GM canned the F body Camaro and Firebird)... Jeff

Really? I was told by a guy at the NYC car show it was built a Corvette chassis, same as the experimental Camaro . It sure looks like it is on a Vette chassis.

Right after the war, yes. Before that, Studebaker of Canada was based in Walkerville, Ontario.
