1929 Studebaker House Car (bus chassis)


The COOLEST old Stude I've ever seen. I love Studebakers, and old house cars. Depression era stuff is so rad...

Beyond cool! And some great ideas on board. And it has the "trolley top" I keep picturing on my rig.

Many thanks for sharing!

Yes... This is a real piece of history. A true one of a kind. I'm glad someone has taken care of it for so long.

Are those pressurized fresh water tank common? That was a great idea!

I'm gusseing that now it must be MUCH cheaper (and efficient) to put a submersible electric pump though, no?

THAT is a piece of history! Beautifully done from the factory.

The "Great Depression" no doubt killed any hope of ever scaling up production. What a shame.
