My point is that Studebaker had a sense of invincibility because they had been in business for almost 100 years by then. They probably thought that since they were so good at the coach business, the car business was nothing different.

My uncle (now close to 100) was a Tool & Die maker for Studebaker. He loved them and always drove either a Stude or Packard.
