The right car for Republicans
I just happened to see this in an old newspaper ad from 1936.
(what an odd name for a car model)

3. I wonder if there's even one 1936 Studebaker Dictator left in the world

5. I would bet there is.
There are quite a few Studebaker collectors out there, and I have little doubt there are at least a few Dictators out there.

4. Studebaker had simliar names for their vehicles at the time: President, Commander,
Dictator.. etc. They ultimately dropped the 'Dictator' name by the end of the 1930s, for obvious reasons.
