I may have a few pics > Does anyone have any knowledge of a studebaker assy plant in New Brunswick NJ. Here..... third one down in the page/ http://www.studebaker-info.org/Factory/stu100c1.jpg Thank You BobJ I live in Osceola IN which is a small town east of South Bend Indiana. I went to technical school in South Bend and while there was given a few sets of blueprints for the Studebaker assembly plant in NJ. I had left them in my parents basement for 20 some odd years and just found them yesterday. The only info I had been able to come up with is that they built a plant in the east but it was sold before it was ever used as a Studebaker assy plant.

Probably built during WWII and I'm sure it was used for production but it was sold later in the 50's In the book "The Studebaker Century" it mentions the production of J-47 jet engines for the B-47 as having taken place in the Chippewa and Brunswick, NJ plants. There was an article in Turning Wheels some years back about the plant. I think it was sold to Chrysler or Ford. > Thank You BobJ > I live in Osceola IN which is a small town east of South Bend Indiana.

They were drawn up by Sollit Constuction Co in Southe Bend Indiana. They include plan views,elevation drawings and survey drawings of the New Brunswick site. I have left a message with the Curator of the Studebaker Museum in South Bend to see if they want them but he has not returned my call as of yet. >In the book "The Studebaker Century" it mentions the production of J-47 >jet engines for the B-47 as having taken place in the Chippewa and [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> >>> http://www.studebaker-info.org/Factory/stu100c1.jpg Good luck at getting a reply. Our club has given several thousand dollars to the museum and have never been recognized for it. I don't have much faith in the management there. We were going to purchase bricks for our members that have passed on, but I don't know about now. Henry > The blueprints I have are all dated in 1950.

If I don't here anything in a week the plans may end up on ebay. >Good luck at getting a reply. Our club has given several thousand dollars to >the museum and have never been recognized for it.

If you start talking about locations that assembled Studebakers, you have a bunch who did that while assembling other makes. (Every one of a particular Porsche was assembled by a plant that also assembled Studebakers. I wonder if N8 can tell us which Porsche that was? I don't even know if Dick Quinn can.) |
