What is the address of the former Hamilton, Ontario Studebaker plant? Is it still standing? Rhettro76 22:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
- Victoria Avenue North, still there the building. Parts of it being used for warehousing. Was talk of converting it into a film studio couple years back but was turned down for it because there's too many support beams in there. Film studios require large uninterupted space for film shoots. Nhl4hamilton | Chit-Chat 18:28, 20 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
- Lovely pic, Nhl4h! Could you possibly arrange one of any Stude remnants at Walkerville? The site of one Marcel Granger states: Studebaker opened a Canadian plant in Walkerville, Ontario in 1909, and manufactured hundreds of cars for Canadian and Commonwealth sale before it closed in 1936. The 1928 GB Regal Commander sedan which I own was assembled there for shipment to Australia. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 00:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
- The Studebaker car photo is not mine Bjenks. Are you referring to the image of the building? Walkerville is about 3 hours away from Hamilton. I am not even sure where to look in Walkerville for the old Studebaker plant site. Nhl4hamilton | Chit-Chat 01:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
- Yes, the building pic. Sorry, I had no idea how far Walkerville was from you :) Bjenks (talk) 10:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
The online citation (citing a 2006 press article) states "The last Studebaker — a blue-and-white Cruiser — rolled off the assembly line in Hamilton on March 17, 1966. The other one (The Hamilton Memory Project) is not available online and was first used to justify the date "March 4", until STUDEE 64 changed it to "March 16". I'll accept that the Cruiser's actual colour was turquoise. However, it seems we need a more conclusive authority for the date it rolled off, and for the official closure, whether or not it was the next day. Can a Canadian help us out here with a definitive citation? Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 15:24, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
