![]() Click on Hemmings.com to learn more on the '52 Studebaker 2R. ![]() M2 launched their 'Auto-Truck' line with the Studebaker 2R being the main player. Johnny Lightning offered up the Studebaker Champ model which was the next in line from the company in the 1960s. Hot Wheels offered up a 'racing' version of that same Champ. The only other company from M2 to offer a stock representation of the 2R are the Shrock Brothers of Pennsylvania. ![]()

I love all these Studies that M2 is releasing. I think I have most of them, or at least the ones I could find!! |

M2 has done a fantastic job with the Studebaker pickup. I like the little alterations they make to represent the different model years. It really looks sharp in red. A classic '50's pickup. These old Studes bring back past summer memories with a high school/college friend who always had an assortment of Studebaker pickups to drive around in.

I found one of the M2 Studebaker pickups recently in the Driver's series, dark green almost olive drab...and noticed no opening doors. I know the doors have been a continuing sore spot, but I do hope the opening door tooling hasn't been permanently changed. Personally, I would prefer to see the opening doors improved rather than sealed. It is still refreshing to see so many now obscure 50s era models being brought back to mind by these fine little gems. I am very happy to see M2 putting effort in this direction! |

Wes - None of the models in the Driver's line feature opening parts. They are all cast over. |

Agreed, the Drivers series is "economized" a bit to reach a more budget conscious price point. I just hope the opening door tooling isn't past tense at this point, on any of M2's castings. |

Have no fear Wes. The Drivers and open door castings are made independently. The open door Studebakers have had numerous additional releases since the very first Drivers version came out a couple years ago. |
