Wonder what kind of power they will be using. Joe Roberts It looks like a Studebaker design because that's what it is. Stude trucks were sent to Russia in WWII when we were allies against the Nazis. After the war, Russian engineers deconstructed them, and started making their own versions. For years the military parades in Red Square featured trucks that were nearly exact copies of our Studes. They did the same when three of our B29s landed at Vladisvostok. The Russians seized one , shipped it to a Russian plane factory, and while we were negotiating to get it back, they set about making a clone, which they called the TU-4.

Please to consider dis a tribute to your great car and truck builder, Comrade John M. Studiebaker!!! When Berlin Wall fell, we all rushed over the bordur, with rubles in hand to purchase replacement parts for our Studiebaker, aka Gaz, trucks. To our collective(sic) dismay we not find one single solitary Studiebaker dealer for to buy replacement parts! You capitalist peoples make big mistake in letting Studiebaker fail. IMHO!!! Please to consider: Send all Studiebaker dies, bluprints, and spares for replication to us. P.S. Please be advised that we never believed what Comrade Kruschev say at U.N. when he bang shoe on desk! Comrade Flathead |
