Everybody knows about Henry and Clement Studebaker. No one talks about their little brother, Elon Studebaker, who took wagon building in an interesting direction in the late 1800’s. ![IMG_2756](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/a/e/ae9ce0eda48686ece7d5d66e57e885b6e14e8a3b.jpeg) ---

Is Studebaker Elon Musk’s middle name? No matter what else you call it, that is still a Cybertruck. BTW, it’s still ugly. ---

I guess before Henry ford learned how to make curved glass. Or some might say gee, no one has come up with a better wheel. Yeah they are ugly. Lipstick on a pig and all. ---

Apperantly a little history is in order. Prior to cars the Studebakers manufactured carriages , sleighs, and wagons. Like the Conestoga wagons used by wagons trains transporting homesteaders westward. Some of the Budweiser beer wagons pulled by the Clydesdales were built by Studebaker. Hence the original was a **satirical** post. ![IMG_2758](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/4/6/4600f79fb93d2f64bab87004e62f078335d2af7d.jpeg) ---

I’ve been to the museum in south bend but just don’t recall either of those displays. Guess I was a little rushed since the wife was not much interested. Oh yeah the streets there were terrible and filled with pot holes. Notra dame was nice though. ---

I never made it to the museum, I **think** they have some of the carriages. I have seen the Beer Wagon up close back when Anheuser-Busch owned Sea World. Clearly marked Studebaker.
