Studebaker Dealerships - Joe Steed, Wichita Falls, TX 1950



Steed Motor Company in building at 1200 Lamar (I think?), still with Studebaker, and prior to Rambler. Probably around 1955 to 1958.

For a short time, Steed Motor Company also sold Studebaker trucks. These gentlemen are (L to R) Mr. Williams and Mr. Huffhines (city officials), Bruce Steed and Thad Steed.

Joe Steed, older brother of Bruce and Thad, came to Wichita Falls from North Carolina in 1945 to own a Studebaker franchise, then sold it to the younger Steed brothers and moved to Tulsa. Bruce and Thad let the Studebaker franchise go in 1958 to concentrate on Rambler sales. I believe this is 1109 Indiana.
