In 1955, Studebaker found itself in a pickle, financially speaking. Rather than tango with the big three, they whipped up the Scotsman—a no-frills, chrome-less wonder aimed at budget-conscious drivers. While it wasn’t the fastest horse in the stable, with its modest six-cylinder engine, it did sip gas like a polite guest, delivering 30 mpg. By 1958, Studebaker had doubled their sales expectations, proving that sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to fins and headlights.
