The importance of the Studebaker family’s contributions to the nation’s expansion should not be understated. Their advanced metallurgy and manufacturing techniques helped supply early settlers with strong long-lasting wagons and quality tools to help conquer the wild west and, in the process, made Studebaker one of the world’s largest producers of horse-drawn vehicles.

The charming Studebaker Buggy offered here was built in the Victoria style and has been beautifully restored with dark green paint highlighted by gold pinstriping. Its impressive outward appearance is complemented by a highly detailed, tufted dark green fabric interior. The folding partial top and long flowing fenders are finished with contrasting matte-finish black leather. While the history of this carriage is not known, it currently appears to have had very little use since restoration and would surely make an impressive presentation at your next cavalcade or county fair.
