But by the 1960s, the firm was on its last legs. In 1963, Studebaker moved its plant from South Bend, Indiana to Ontario, Canada. All car production ceased after the 1966 model year. Andreocci’s coupe is a Canadian-built version. “It was their-next-to-last year of producing cars,” he says. “Since Studebaker did not have an engine plant in Canada, they made a deal with General Motors to buy Chevy engines from them. My car is equipped with a 283-cubic-inch V-8.”
