Henry Studebaker was a German-born farmer (German: “Stutenbäcker,” from Solingen), farrier, and wagon maker who lived near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in the early 19th century. Studebaker was involved with motor vehicles as early as 1897. From 1920 to the 1960s, the company produced many stylistic and technical milestones. The Studebaker model palette of 1950 consisted of the Champion and Commander. Both models received the futuristic front end design called “Bullet Nose”. This particular design was created by R. Loewy, the inventor of the Coca-Cola bottle. This fully chromed front section remained a stylistic feature of the Studebaker models until 1952.
