On our latest episode, number 88 of Michigan's AutoTalk, producer Phil Tower, along with hosts Al Schwinkendorf and John Puhek, hear Al share the remarkable story of his grandfather, Adolf. Adolf came to America from Germany in 1909 and spent 40 years working for Studebaker in South Bend, Indiana. Grandpa Adolf and his wife saved diligently until they could purchase what would become his pride and joy... A brand new 1947 Studebaker Commander. According to Studebaker factory records, the total Sedan Coupe production, including a very short run of 1942 models, stands at around 2,350 units, which makes it highly unusual to spot one today.

Later in the episode, we talk about winter driving again, and cohost. John Puhek couldn't help but go off again on snow tire users. You don't want to miss this rant… Unless you are a diehard snow tire fan
