Studebaker M-series truck

The Studebaker M-series was a pickup truck series designed in the late 1930s by the Studebaker Corporation. The M5 was a half-ton truck sold as a pickup or as a cab and rolling chassis, the M15 was the three-quarter-ton version and the M15A the one and one and a half ton version, all with the Champion 169 cubic inch engine, while the M16 one and a half and two ton models used the more powerful Commander 226 cubic inch engine with a different firewall and a spacer in the front fenders for its wider track. The range was built from 1939 to 1942, when civilian production stopped for the Second World War, and again from 1945 until 1949. The cabs had a rounded, aerodynamic shape with wind wing vents on the side windows, a feature no other American truck make offered during the war, and the Studebaker US6 6x4 and 6x6 military trucks were designed from the M16.
