[column grid=”2″ span=”1″]Studebaker’s new body style for 1947 was started in 1940 by Robert Bourke. It was this work that prompted Bourke to hire the design firm Loewy & Associates. Under the direction of Loewy’s Chief Stylist Virgil Exner, the Loewy design team was able to turn Studebaker’s profitability in 1947 to earnings of more than $9,000,000 in profits.
