Great cars. I now have a 1963 model to replace the 1962 one I sold years ago, and missed ever since.

There are at least three 64/65 Studebaker ambulances still in existence. The East Gippsland Victoria car pictured is in the possession of Studebaker enthusiasts in Queensland. They also have another ex Queensland Cruiser ambulance in their collection. A third Studebaker Cruiser ambulance in in the Historic Collection of the Queensland Ambulance Service. The former Wynnum Centre car is housed at the museum at the old Wynnum Ambulance station. My dad owned the Wynnum car for several years before selling it back to Queensland ambulance for the museum

Thanks for those links. A timely reminder of how much Studebakers were part of the Australian streetscape. The light commercials could always be counted on punching above their weight somewhere where the roads were not so good and the loads heavy!

The Studebaker brothers began in 1852 building horse drawn wagons and buggies. John M Studebaker went off to the gold fields to make his fortune, but was a dud at prospecting, and with not much cash left he started making wheelbarrows for the prospectors, and made his fortune doing what he did best.
'Johnny Wheelbarrow' returned to the brothers and the Studebaker dynasty picked up pace.
The civil war had them building thousands of wagons, and they developed the kiln drying process of timber as they quickly ran out of seasoned timber.
If interested, you can see more pics of the Stude Ambulances at these links;

I love the story. I currently own a 64 Cruiser, and love it. It is in my garage in the club. Studebaker history is amazing when you look into it. Making electric cars early in the 20th century. Hill start assist in the 50’s, early 60’s with options of power steering, Airconditioning, and even a belt drive supercharger!. all at the time we had sixes, manuals with crash boxes, vacuum wipers, and lucky to have a heater, let alone a fan! The company ran for over 100 years, and was the first to open a purpose built outdoor proving and testing facility on 100 acres. it was supposedly at one stage the largest automotive manufacturer in the world! What happened?

Hey Mark , the Ambulance was my Uncle’s many years ago and was a constant winner at the concourse , it was sold to Newcastle area from memory and believe it survives well other than the East Gippsland Ambulance sign writing was removed !

By the way - love the Ambulance pic too. I wonder if any of those survive?

Love the Lark story Joe. I had a 1962 model - great little car. 259 V8 in cream with red interior (in my Garage on Shannons Club as a Past Car). Wish I still had it. Once I put radial tyres on it - it was transformed in terms of handling. A visit to the Studebaker museum in Indiana, USA is highly recommended if you get the chance. True pioneers of the transport industry.
