Studebaker Land Cruiser

The Studebaker Land Cruiser was a long-wheelbase sedan built by the Studebaker Corporation from 1934 to 1954. It debuted at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair as an extensively streamlined car beside the Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow, and went on sale in the fall of 1933 as a 1934 model in the President range. Through the late 1930s it was a body style offered as the Commander Cruiser and President Cruiser, and in 1941 Studebaker added the ultra-luxurious Skyway Land Cruiser. After the war the Land Cruiser rode the longest wheelbase in the line, 124 inches in 1947, with rear-hinged rear doors and the larger six-cylinder engine. The 1953 and 1954 cars were built on the new coupe frame, with early fender fit and steering problems that the heavier 1954 frame corrected. The name changed in 1955, and the Lark Cruiser later revived it.
